A little paper-piecing


 Hi, just a quick post from me with a card I made because I wanted to join in with the Allsorts Challenge this week, the theme is handcoloured or paper/pieced image. I intended to make something more ambitious but was running out of time so I opted for CAS and a hand coloured image with a paper pieced dress. I've added some shading to her dress with pencils, the rest of the colouring is Copic markers. There's some subtle (a bit too subtle) stencilling behind the image. I've had this sweet Mo Manning image for years, and have lost count of how many times I've used it! I love to see little girls in pretty dresses - being a Mum and a Grandmother of 4 girls I know that they're often impractible - leggings and tees are better for playing in (and much easier to launder) but it's lovely to see them dressed up sometimes! Thanks for visiting

    Hi Chris,
    oh I love this wonderful image she is so sweet and very cute.
    You can't beat a Mo inage for cuteness.
    You have coloured it perfectly too and I love your paper piecing of that dress to go with your backing paper.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
