One Word Challenge -- Blessing

I found the original layout on Pinterest.  I couldn't get to the original source to see what kit she used so I made up elements and paper from TLP products.  I had to do some extensive recoloring and resizing to make the scale and color palette.  I also had to construct the stitched stars and arrows from bits and pieces.  I did a lot of shadowing on separate layers.  The proportions are off from the original layout because my photo did not lend itself to a square.  I fixed that somewhat by doing the double staggered frames.

I added a title for the challenge.  The journaling was just for me.  It took forever to post the credits. After exploring the internet, I found the original source and found the kit at The Sweet Shoppe.  But I was already done and wasn't going to redo it.  Plus 75% needs to be TLP products to be posted in the challenge.  I may buy the kit anyway, as it is a great boy kit and it has lots of Ewan's favorite colors.

What a Blessing
