You're never too old to play with dolls. I've just stayed up practically all night to get this card finished for the first WMS Pyjama Party (or Pajama Party if you prefer). This is for Challenge 2 - You're a Doll, but as I used the mini crackle stamp to give age to the dolls, I am also entering it in Challenge 3 - In the Background. I hope to enter the background challenge again before the link closes at Midnight UK time, using my favourite background stamp WMS Cabin Plaid Backgounder.
I got most of the way last night before fatigue forced me to have a short nap, and I couldn't wait to get started again this morning (I like this lady of leisure business).
I wanted to create a card using the different sizes of dolls and the different variations of dolls available in the You're a Doll set. I've also used the You're a Doll Additions set for the sentiment which I selectively inked, and as it complements these sets so perfectly, I also used the Folk Art Medallion set for the pull tag on the bottom and one of the tummy embellishments for the medium doll.
Here are the various stages of the Waterfall Card I've made for this challenge.
 |
| Card Closed - One Doll and "Beautiful" visible. |
 |
| Card Stage 1 - Two Dolls |
 |
| Card Stage 2 Three Dolls. |
 |
| Card Stage 3 - Big Heart and "You are Beautiful" visible. I wanted a story to develop as the pull tag emerged so I used some of the story lines from Half Pint Heroines, which I ordered last week and arrived just yesterday at lunchtime.  This is for my beautiful niece Natalie who has one of the biggest hearts I know. I am also entering this in the Paper Players Sketch Challenge PP156  |
