A {Swissy} Taylored Sketch

I saw this Taylored Expressions Sketch 108 and just loved it. It just looked so nice, clean, and perfectfor my Swiss Pixie Gretal that I had yet to ink up. I was in the coloring mood and she looked like she needed to be colored, so I went for it. And the Taylored Expressions sketch was the perfect setting for her. Yeehaw!


I used October Afternoon Ducks in a Row and Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety paper. I so love pretty DP... *sigh* I paper-pieced Gretal's jumper with Cosmo Cricket DP and colored the rest of her with Copics. Her wings were glitterfied with crystal stickles. I used a PTI technique to make the "faux bow" with button accent. The button on her jumper was just screaming for a pearl, and I decided to stick one on her ponytail holder as well. Cute...

  1. Cute! And my favorite paper (yellow pattern in upper left)!
    I especially like the faux bow with button. A nice change and fresh take on just a regular bow.
