Hey there,
I've been dying to create another Julie Nutting paper doll because they're such fun to dress and embellish. I was ecstatic at the thought of making a flower petal skirt for this little sweetie and I think it turned out pretty cute. I enjoy dressing these little girls so much, and since I've started adding faces to them, they're a little more my style. I like the faceless originals also, but I really prefer to see some personality looking back at me when I'm making wardrobe decisions.
I often use beautiful designer papers for my backgrounds rather than creating originals from scratch... kinda like my cooking, I like the process and the results of creating something imaginative; I just don't like the clean-up. I have tons of dazzling dp in my stash just waiting to be auditioned, tempting me to skip all the painting, stenciling and stamping hoopla and concentrate on coloring my foreground images. For this card, I originally cut out a tag card base in Cricut Design Studio, but I ended up cutting off the tab after the card was finished. I decided to forego the ribbon tassels this time and go for a simpler look. I have plans to expand my creative horizons by working on some fun mixed media backgrounds very soon. Just like I plan to make some tasty new recipes. It could happen.
I had the honor of speaking at a baptism for a darling little eight-year-old girl last weekend and I think she liked this dainty little card, sort of a valentine and congratulations card combined. She calls me "Fancy Nancy". She melts my heart.
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and play enthusiastically with some stamps you love.
Nancy
