House of Gilli DT - Layers and Stitching

This week at House of Gilli we have a great challenge, Layers and stitching. I chose to use October Afternoon Thrift Shop Paper and some Graphic 45 scraps I had in my stash, and pair it up with Nurse Gilli. I thought they made a perfect bright and cheery Get Well Card.

For my stitching, I used a faux stitching stamp from Crafty Secrets that I have had FOREVER. I love the way it looks, real from far away. I do not have a sewing machine, so stitching was a hard task for me. LOVE how this looks, and SUPER simple.
I colored Nurse Gilli with copics:

Skin- E000, E00, R20

Hair - E25, E31, E50

Dress and Hat - Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00, R27, R24, R22

Shoes- C7, C5, C3
I added lots of flowers, of course, from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also added another one of my hand-made stick pins to the flower arrangement. I love the added bling it adds. I also used some Doohickey Dies, Tilda Lace Border, and Swirl, for added layering. The yellow silk ribbon was tied in a double bow for another layer!
I hope you will join us at House of Gilli for our Layers and Stitching challenge. Also, pop on over to Stamping Scrapping and pick up a Gilli stamp of your own, they are adorable!!!
