I've accepted an offer to be guest designer for eclectic Paperie for the month of February. My box of goodies from the eclectic Paperie shop came today. They have a design challenge every month and January's challenge is to use HEARTS in your design.
The Julie Nutting Prima doll was paper pieced from a new paper collection by Authentique called "Smitten." The playing cards are also from the "Smitten" paper pack. Besides the doll stamp and the "Smitten" paper , other items I used were Scor-Tape to attach the lace ruffle, Zip-Dry paper glue and Scotch Foam Mounting Tape to pop up the middle playing card. I watched a webcast yesterday by Julie Nutting and she suggested sponging the edges of the doll with brown ink. For this I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad---Old Paper and an Inkssentials Blending Foam Replacement Pad.
The background papers are from DCWV, the flower in the doll's hair is hand-crocheted. Some rhinestone bling completes my design.

Dropping by your gallery today to see what you've been up to... and whoa! First of all - CONGRATULATIONS on the guest designer gig! They are lucky to have snagged you.
Secondly - This prima is absolutely beautiful! She has all the right touches of lace and flowery goodness that truly makes her special.
