I  just  love  this  image  ,It is   Pink  Gem's ' Chloe  with  knitted  hat ' and  I thought  I  would paper piece  her  dress hat  and  boots for  a  different image   It  reminded me of  a  Spring  day  and  we haven't  seen  many of  those  yet ??.I used  Ombre  paper  from  LC  designs  for  her  boots  and  hat  and  Pastel  gingham papers  also by  LC for  her  dress .I  coloured  the  rest  with  PMs.
I  cut  the  fence  from  a Cricut  cartridge  and  the  flower  border is  a  Spellbinders  die  cut .
The  background  is  also  an ombre  paper  from LCs  .The  embellishments are  a  basket  button,  with  a  stamped  and  shrink plastic  tag  and  die  cut  clouds  .

I just  love  this cutie  and  wanted  to make  her  stand out  ,hence  the  darker  background  , She is  Chloe  from  Pink  Gem  and  I  coloured her  and  the flowers  with  PMs/
The  base card is  spotted  and  I  dry  embossed  the  brown  card before  giving it  a  thick  coat of  CC  Spray  and  sparkle  ,although it  doesn't look  sparkly  in  the photo !
I  die  cut  a tonic  nesting  circle  die  before  embossing  that  with  a  brick  embossing  folder  (Desire )
The  embelllies I  added  are  Flowers , organza  ribbon  and bow  ,sparkly butterfly  and  stickles  .
