Bundle Up! (Ha!)

I felt a little weird making this card yesterday.  It was 71 fun-lovin’ degrees here, sunny and very windy.  Last night there were thunderstorms predicted.  Um, it’s February, right?  Everyone will have colds.  Actually, I already do.  I’m sniffly, sneezy, sore throat, lovely really (not).

Today’s WT Challenge at SCS is to use fabric.  I don’t have stashes of fabric lying around, but I did have a strip of brown canvas.  I used it here in place of ribbon or a strip of cardstock.

Stay Warm

I tried to follow this week’s sketch challenge, but my fabric strip is over the striped panel instead of under so I’m guessing this doesn’t qualify.  (Always the rebel.)  🙂

I popped up part of Flopsey’s scarf and also the mittens and cup.  I used a black 3-d gel pen on Flopsey’s eyes and a clear one on the mug. 

I didn’t want Flopsey to be quite so dark, but I still have three empty brown Copics.  I have refills coming, but I think they’re traveling here from far, far away roped to the back of a donkey. 

The sentiment is clear embossed so it would stand out better on the patterned paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
