Sami Stamps is sponsoring this week. My card uses Winter Cocoa. Alex's sketch inspired me to make a tryptic with the image. It was fun to figure out where to make the cuts. I paper pieced the coat, doodled the inside black lines, shaded with my Copics and added some Wink of Stella for sparkle. Taylor Expressions' cable knit embossing folder created a great background panel. A couple of snowflakes and a sentiment from my stash found their way onto this card. Love it when that happens!
Take a peek at the DT's cards and play along with the Sketch Saturday gals this week!
