Mo's Dream Team Blog Hop of the Month- Paper Piecing

Once a month Mo's Dream Team gets together and creates special projects based on a theme to give a little inspiration! 
This month the theme is Paper Piecing and Mina is our host this time around. So she is starting off the hop!

I must admit I have never paper pieced...ever! But, I have to say now that I've done it, I really like it! I chose to use Tall Cake for my image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I paper pieced her dress using a Jilly Bean paper pad called Blossom Soup. I colored her with my usual Copics and shaded the dress paper, too. 
I used My Mind's Eye paper from the Love Me pad to decorate the card. I added some Wild Orchid flowers and stick pin for the sentiment, threw on some fabulous Frantage and this is what I got!

Your last stop is Kaly and don't forget to leave comments along the way as there is a couple of spot prizes on comments left to be won!!

If you get lost somewhere along the way here is the blog hop order:

Please?

Hello all! I have my Mo's Dream Team card to share with you today. I have used another adorable and very expressive image called, 'Please' available to download at Mo's Digital Pencil.
I have used Wild Orchid Craft roses, Sweetheart blossoms,and a Cosmos daisy. I used some old paper from My Mind's Eye's Madison Avenue paper pad. I tried my hand at making some fun little pinwheels and tucked them behind the flowers. They are so easy to make; cut a square and make slits from the corners down close to the center and fold over every other corner to meet at the center! No need for a die! I added pearls to the centers for a little extra something. On the background paper I wanted to emphasize the crown, so I pulled back the layer covering it and added some glitter glue to the crown. I love that you can still see the word 'pretty' at the top and 'J'adore' at the bottom of the card. Perfect for a special little girl on a birthday or other special day!

The Copic markers I used are the same usual suspects:
Skirt- E70, 74, E57, E59
Top- R81, 83, 85, E11, Y11, Y15
Ground- W1, 3, 5

Say you like her, "Please"!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
