Sketch Saturday #292 Clouds and Purple Linings

It's Saturday and time for another sketch from 
sponsored by our lovely friends at
Simon Says Stamp

I'm afraid I've been playing fast and loose with our sketch this week.  Sorry Jen!   My card had a mind of its own  and although I did keep referring to the sketch, my finished creation is a rather loose interpretation of it even for me!  I wanted to use this wonderful image called Standing in the Clouds by A Day for Daisies for my beautiful Goddaughter who had a birthday yesterday.  I needed my image (which includes the cloud) to be rather bigger that the sketch permitted hence my failure to literally keep to the sketch.

Most of this lovely lady and her cloud is paper pieced using Theresa Collins Fabrications papers.  The banner is cut with a PTI die and the sentiment is Stampin Up.   My colouring medium is Copic and I used some liquid applique for her fur trim.  
Please share some love with my teamies and come and play along with us this week. We would love to see you!  
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Simon Says - Ice Inspiration and Cute Card Thursday - Cold and Frosty  
(I chose to interpret both of these challenges as needing warm clothes)
Stampin for the Weekend - Anything goes

What a beautiful card. Love the art deco feel; the TC papers go brilliantly with the image and have given me an idea for an underused stamp of mine... Have a fab weekend. Tracey x

This is so my kind of card so much so I have hot footed over and bought the image. (Bang goes one of my resolutions not to buy more images this year. You are so naughty but I like you!!!) I love your paper piecing and the shadow you have created under her. Super duper. Hugs Mrs A.
