PTW sketch challenge + technique Tuesday

This is my card for this weeks Papertake Weekly Challenge. I have used a Whiff of Joy image "Charlotte Riding Reindeer" which is one of my fav Christmas images. I have teamed her with Ski Slope DP and Kiwi Kiss ribbon and she is coloured with Copics on PTI cardstock (Yes Viv I am hoarding.lol). There is alot of dimension in this card which brings us to.....

TECHNIQUE TUESDAY
for this week, adding dimension.

There are four different levels to this card in order they are.... the base, the co-ordinating blue strip, the image and the sentiment.
I have 2 different thicknesses of foam squares in my stash as shown in the photo (please ignore the gross wrinkly fingers, a hand model I am definitely NOT)and I can achieve loads of layer heights by backing them together.You can see in the picture below a couple of the different layers. They look very cool in real life and add a great 3d effect to your cards.
