Little Miss Muffet Challenge #111 - Many Layers

Today's card is for a Little Miss Muffet challenge called "Many Layers" I've used Sugar 'n Spice Sage as Annie Oakley for my card. The image is digital and is colored with Copic markers and then layered on a matt and placed over several patterned gingham colors that are also matted. Floss and a star are added. Her glasses have Crystal Effects to make them look glassy.
