Trench Coat Gilli ~ Stitches and Layers

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 got a bit wacky so I strategically placed some layers over certain areas, hahhahhha.  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 used:  Basic Grey    Copics used:   coat ~ R89,85,83,81  boots ~ YG67,11, G14,12  hair ~ E25,31,50  skin ~ E000,00,R20

I hope you join our Challenge ~ Thanks so much,  Ann
