Sketch Saturday - Sketch #393

Welcome to our first sketch challenge for 2016, Sketch Saturday fans!  Our DT Call was a fabulous success!  We had so many wonderful folks to choose from that Sketch Saturday has more than doubled our DT.  We're excited for you to get to know all of our new folks over the coming weeks.

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!
