Short tutorial

To start with the first layer: Gesso    

Then you draw the girl. With a regular graphite pencil.

Then you start to color your girl with acrylics.

Studio Paint, Ranger Dabber and Golden Acrylics

Then start outlining with a fine-nib marker. 

And I gave her a pair of rub-on wings.

 For the background I used a mix between: Golden FluidAcrylic Cobalt      Teal, Dabber Acrylic Pearl and Perfect Pearls Pearl. 
Dry carefull with a heattool!

Next a layer of Glossy Decopage. 

You can also use Glossy Gel Medium or Glossy Mod Podge. 

And finally add some stars to the background. 
I used a Crafters Workshop Template and some Mister Huey´s Mist White or Distress Stain Picket Fence. 
Some embellishments 
and 

she´s ready to hang in the tree...
