well here we are 2017!
and my first make of the year is for the new 


im going to come clean and admit im not in love with this one, 
 i think its the background is too dark and busy,
i loved how she was coloured, but its too delicate for the background but to be totally i was running out of time , and the idea looked so much better in my head lol

i will redo this and come back with it but as today was the new challenge i have gone with it for now,
so come play along and watch this space lol
