Hi All!
Most of you who are on PCP or FB will have seen this freebie Mo had up for a week or so.
I thought it was a great challenge and brought be back to my childhood playing for endless hours with paper dolls .It was one of my favorite things to do but whenever I suggested it to my sister on one of those "check yes or no" notes she always checked No with added exclamation marks
Don't worry, I would cry and eventually she would have to play cos Mum would make her.
Thanks Mum!
Now I had an unwilling playmate who couldn't wait to "kill off" the characters. And you know with paper dolls ...well lets say she was none too gentle.
Remember that evil kid next door on Toy Story???
OK, so I paper pieced the dresses and colored on them a bit with Prismacolors to add dimension.
The papers are K&Co. And the flowers are scavenged silk flowers with buttons stuck on.
Bakers twine is from Sew Sweet.

Dorcas, this is just amazing! The coloring, the details --- Wow! Yes, it does bring back memories of paper dolls. My brothers didn't appreciate them, but I had a cousin that loved paper dolls. I guess you could say she was my first papercraft buddy! I missed the freebie and can't wait to get it from the shop.
