So I haven't participated in a Teapot Tuesday Challenge in forever or a color challenge or a technique challenge. Truth is, I've been off the site for about 2 years and then was on for a few days after I had been off for about 2 more years, so I'm finally posting and sharing again.
So this card fits three challenges and it was a... challenge...
I wanted to participate in the color challenge, CC569 Watermelon Wonder, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive (and an oval) and these are the closest colors I have and they read fairly similar.
I also wanted to participate in the MMTPT394 challenge and I used my blue (ok so it is teal-ish) and an animal, which is the puppy.
Then I wanted to try this pleated skirt fold because... I hadn't really felt drawn to do it so I wanted to challenge myself with it.
I really hope you like my little project. It sure was a challenge for me.

Renee, amazing coloring on an adorable image. I'm going to try the skirt fold - it really adds a lot. Fantastic card. Thank you for coming to the party. Even tho I host, I've been MIA also, so I'd like to say welcome home and hope to see you around lots more.

Good to have you back!!! This is adorable in every way! The polka dot dress is darling and I love how you carried it through to the pleated skirt detail. Way to rock all the challenges!

What a cute image! Fantastic job on those challenges. I love the challenge colours used in a less flowery way! :-) Paper piecing is one of my favourite techniques and your little girl's dress looks super in the same dots as the pleats. Lovely card!

Oh my goodness, Renee!! The little girl, in what appears to be her mommy's shoes, is dressed to the hilt in her lime/olive polka dot dress and long pearl necklace with her lovely doggie and teddy bear! This is outstanding and you did a fantastic job with your copic coloring! And, most importantly, welcome back!!
