Happy Halloween!!!
It is my turn again for the Hanna Stamps weekly challenge -- as usual, I decided to do a sketch, this time inkspired by a gorgeous card made by LorriHeiling, but I also added the additional challenge of using paper piecing (like Lorri did) on your main image. In fact, she took it a step further and did the painting with paper technique, where you basically paper piece the whole image. Feel like a real challenge, go try that! The sketch is a very simple layout, so it leaves a lot of possibility open to you! Hope you have a chance to play with my sketch and upload on SCS this week (remember to use the keyword: HSC41)!
For this card I used my most recent JoAnn's discovery -- silver and gold thread (in this case gold) to stitch around the edges of the image panel and the exterior panel. It just adds a little subtle sparkle. (see close up picture) I love the stuff. They also had copper. It is priced a little higher than the normal SULKY threads, but I bought it when they were 50% off, so it was really only a couple dollars and will last a long time. WONDERFUL!!!! Image was colored using my copic markers and I paper pieced his bag full of goodies. Scallop was made with white paper frills. Such a simple Christmas card, but super festive!!

I love your very detailed card. I have never attempted paper piercing. I'm always afraid I will make a mess out of my card. I truly love your Riley and the colors you used.
Oh how cute! Love the moose and his matching polka dot sack! Love it!
