OK I had A LOT of fun with this one today! And I wanted to answer the question before you even had the chance to wonder...that is a 5 year old ME! I am a big fan of Claudine Hellmuth and have admired her collages...they're whimsical and fun. So this is a homage to her work. I used dp scraps which I glued on with gel medium. The bg is sponged with blue brilliance ink. The sun is a new die from Cheery Lynn..a tiny French pastry doily. I drew the body portion of my image and it's mostly outlined in black ink pen. I had a bit of a problem with the fence using another marker..it started to bleed so I switched to pen. Thanks for looking ;)

Awesome job, Polly! I really like all the doodled details… the fence, clouds, faux stitching and the outline of yourself. I must say, you were a cute 5 year old!
