Mo's DP2 Challenge - Straight From The Heart

Good morning!  It's Thursday and you know that means it's time for another fun Mo's Challenge.  Today is bittersweet for me as this is my last post as a member of Mo's Challenge DT.  It's hard to believe that six months flew by so quickly!  I feel like it was just yesterday that I joined the DT.  I sure will miss working with the wonderful ladies on the team and I am grateful for the opportunity to have designed alongside these super-talented designers for the past six months.   You all know I love Mo's images, so you will definitely still be seeing lots of Mo's creations here on my blog.

OK.  On to this week's challenge.  The theme is "straight from the heart".   Whatever this means to you, as long as you use a Mo's image, you are good to go.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I started with a card base of SU Soft Sky and layered patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart Be Happy 6x6 pad.   My sweet image is Jack and Ginger from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I printed it on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with my Copic markers.  

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I thought it was perfect for the theme.  I added some trims from a couple of Webster's Pages Trim Cards (sorry, I forget which ones).  A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday #213 for my layout:
