The minute I saw this little sweetie I knew I'd paper piece her dress!! To that end, I stamped the image multiple times: the main image, one for her dress, one for her arms, and one for the cupcake and dress collar. Lots of fussy cutting but so worth it when you see the dimension IRL. Once the main image was stamped and cut with the coordinating Die-namics, I colored her skin, hair, and shoes and socks with Copic markers. The dress was stamped on MSTN Rainbow Plaid Patterned Paper and cut out, including the arms, collar, and cupcake. Next the cupcake was colored, cut out, and glued down. Then the arms were colored and cut out, including a small bit of the sleeve area on each. I snipped the bottom of the sleeve from the top of the arm on the main image, then slipped the small bit of the sleeve under the main image sleeve through the slit--this adds realistic dimension--and glued it down, hands on top of the cupcake. The collar was cut out and glued down then the whole thing was adhered to the main image and done!

She needed a cool but not too fussy background so I sponged a rainbow for her through Watercolor Wash Free Form Stencil, stamped the sentiment and popped her up on foam tape, and added some glitter enamel dots for the finish!

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for the December MFT and Friends Feature!
