Sweet Sunday Snow Day

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC52. You'll find the sketch on Karen Giron's blog, The Sweetest Thing.

I was a slacker last week and didn't get my Christmas-card-a-week done so I'm starting the week off right this time. I reached for one of my darling Pure Innocence images from MFT. This one is called Snow Day.

I stamped her several times on both white and patterned paper so I could paper piece her coat and hat. But I'm a bit of a fanatic about proper perspective so what you can't tell from the photo is that once her coat was pieced I layered on the pocket and snowballs, then layered her right arm and scarf. After all, I didn't want it to look like the snowballs were in her coat, and her arm needed to be the highest level of paper piecing for correct perspective. The rest of her is coloured with copics and I added glittered Liquid Applique to her hat and boots.

The image is cut out with Labels Three Nestabilities and I hand cut the pink mat around it. I really wish wish WISH Spellbinders would come out with the in-between sizes of Labels dies. The patterned papers are from the SEI Christmas Mint collection. I did a little zig zag stitching and added some felt SU ribbon as a layer. I have plenty of ghost snowflakes, thanks to my friend Leslie (waves...hi Leslie!), so I put one to good use on this card.

Let's go see what the other Sweet Sunday Stampers came up with for this week's sketch. I hope you'll play along and link your creation using the Mr. Linky on Karen's blog.
