This week at the Less is More Challenge is a "lucky dip" week which only happens when there are 5 Saturdays in a month. Our challenge this week is to create a card using paper piecing. I kind of struggled with this one, because it's not a technique I use very often. Here's my take:
I used one of the Prima (Julia Nutting) dolls that I haven't used on a card before. Most of the dolls are too big for a A2 card, but this one fits nicely. Stamped the image on navy for the overalls, a green stripe for the shirt, some flesh colored card stock for the face and some brown for the hair. I colored the shoes with Copics. The sentiment is from PTI. I love these dolls, but am I the only one that is bothered because they don't have faces? That's just weird to me! I cut panel with the image with the SSS stitched rectangle, then backed it with some of the navy card stock before adhering it to a white card base.
I know you're probably surprised that I only have the one card...me too! Maybe I'll have a better idea later in the week!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by for a visit! Hope you'll come back soon! Your comments are greatly appreciated! Until next time...

LOVE your card!! I've seen those dolls and they are all fantastic!
Liking your card but I too don't like blank faces. I usually draw one in.
Fab paper piecing and your card looks great Susan - but I'm never sure about the blank faces either! Wish I had the skills to draw one in
Thank you for joining us
