You Are F.I.N.E.

Good morning!  Happy Hump Day!  Have you had a good week so far?  Hope so!  I've got another busy afternoon, but before I head out, I'm here to share a card I made for two challenges: Jackson's Digital Expressions #8 (anything goes - inks and such) and Tuesday Morning Sketches #150 (use sketch and black, Kraft and one other color).

Here is TMS #150:


Here is my card for the challenges:


I started with a card base of SU Basic Black and layered with patterned paper from the Basic Grey Olivia collection.  I flipped the sketch to vertical for my card.  The elegant image is Evening Gown from Fine Arts by Robert Jackson.  I printed her on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with my Copics. It's a little hard to see, but I added some Stickles to the rose in her hair and used my Sand Spica pen to give her shoes and bag a little shimmer.
Here is a close-up of just the image:


The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I added Kraft-colored pearls to the scallops around the image.  A Kraft taffeta bow and a single Wild Orchid Crafts rose finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day and hope to see you again soon!
