Retail Therapy

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a great start! I'm popping in early today to share the card I made as Guest Designer for Jackson's Digital Expressions.  Kathi is the hostess this week and although all challenges are now"anything goes", the options were to use "inks and such" to color an image and to make anything but a standard A2 card.

Here is the card I made for the challenge:


I started with a square card base of SU Bashful Blue and layered with Marigold Morning and patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Country Garden 6x6 pad.  My image is A Hard's Day Work from Fine Arts by Robert Jackson.  You can find it in Robert's store here under the category of Females.  I printed it on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with Copics.  I added dots of Liquid Pearls to her necklace and bracelet and some Stickles to the rose on her hat.   The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   It is from her Retail Therapy set.  Check her new store here or ask Paulette where you can purchase it if it isn't moved over to the new store yet.  I finished my card with a double-loop bow and a few little pink pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out what the talented DT at Jackson's Digital Expressions came up with for this week! I'm sure they would love it if you played along!

Have a great day!
