I made this card for the Just Us Girls Saturday Challenge which this week was a technique challenge - to use paper piecing. Optional was to use pink somewhere on our card: http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot...technique.html
I paper pieced the little girl with DP from the K & Co. Madeline pack. The rest of the image was colored with Copics. I dyed the flowers with Copics and added Basic Grey brads to the centers.
Used lots of pink on this one!
TFL!

You certainly did you a lot of pink, but just the right amount!! I love everything! I adore the romantic look you achieved with the pretty pink and complimentary green, the daisies...and the serene image of the little girl walking among flowers. Your coloring is fantastic, and you selected the PERFECT paper to piece her dress with! It looks like the design was already on the stamp! Very cool :O)
Thank you for playing along with Just Us Girls this week! We are so happy to have such talented ladies like yourself joining us! Hope to see you again next Saturday for our color challenge.

Carla!!! SO happy to see you come by Just Us Girls to play - and play you did! I am tickled pink over the pink in your card - it's SO perfect for that image - always been one of my faves - it just all truly goes together! The touch of glitter on the flowers and butterflies is just divine! Hope you had fun and will come back again - thank you again fellow STVer! :-) Hugs n smiles - hope life is back to "normal?"
