House of Gilli ~ Layers and Stitching

Hello!  I had so much fun creating today's Gilli card!  I don't sew very much so the challenge of stitching was great for me ~ change of pace (you can do faux stitching if you prefer).  Some of my stitching was getting a bit wacky so I strategically placed some layers over certain areas, haahaaaha.  Great reason to have lots of layering for this challenge.  ;)   I made my card using the adorable Trench Coat Gilli and colored her with Copics, except for the umbrella which I paper pieced.  I used the Spellbinders Die Cut with Compatible Clear Stamps, and flowers, all available at Stamping Scrapping.  I used a bit of Star Dust Stickles on her belt buckle and boot toppers and Diamond Glaze on her belt, boots, and umbrella handle. 



I got into the idea of sewing and hand stitched on top of the circle part of the die cut stamp.
DP:  Basic Grey
Copics:  coat ~ R89,85,83,81  boots ~ YG67,11, G14,12  hair ~ E25,31,50  skin ~ E000,00,R20

 I hope you join us at the House of Gilli for this challenge.  Thanks, Ann  :)
