The more I looked at my card yesterday, the more I didn't like it. I took it apart this morning & remade it.
TLC04 - Bleach
TLC19 - Shaving cream
TLC 39 - Paper piecing
I took the shaving cream b/g to paper piece a matching dress & hat. I sponged in a hint of clouds w/ Bashful Blue & used the edge of the sponge to shade in some grass useing Always Artichoke & Garden Green. Now I remember why I don't like black ep!!
Now I'm happy.
Thanks for taking another look.

A most unique paper-pieced dress and hat! I have never done the shaving cream treatment (except on my legs and other....well, ahem, you get the picture). Cool look. And your clouds are so soft and subtle - really pretty.

This is so creative. I love how you paper pieced the dress. This card is so serene and reflective in a peaceful elegant setting. It looks like a piece of artwork. Just gorgeous.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Joyous and Blessed Thanksgiving.
Bear Hugs,

This turned out awesome Bugzi. I love that image anyway and I love the creative paper piecing. Your sponged clouds and grass give it that extra touch. Great technique!! TFS!
