Have You Heard?

Hi there!  How was your weekend?  Ours was busy, but fine.  We were supposed to get a lot of thunderstorms, but so far, we only had a couple of brief ones and very little rain, so that was good.  I'm popping in to share the card I made for the Jackson's Digital Expressions Challenge #16 - anything goes with an optional sketch.

Here is the sketch:


Here is my card:


I started with a card base of Papertrey Ocean Tides and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Saffron 6x6 pad.  My image is I Ain't One To Gossip 2 from Fine Arts by Robert Jackson. You can fin it in the Females section of Robert's store here.  I printed it on Copic X-Press It and colored with my Copics.  I added a bit of Liquid Pearls to the necklace.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by and see you again soon!
