Jo has a design team and I am part of that team. I won't be able to do each challenge as I have other obligations, but will be joining in ever chance I can. For Jo's first challenge we had a sketch to work with made by our own design team sister Amanda. It is a wonderful sketch and I had lots of fun with it. Although I forgot one element that was on the sketch, I was doing it from memory which if you know me at all, you know that my memory is effected at times by my Lupus so I should have taken my laptop back to my room with me. But I still think my card turned out cute. I used one of the crafty birthday gifts I got from my awesome friend Suzanne. And that is the new Prima Dolls. I had so much fun paper piecing her! I used all scraps to piece her and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. The sentiment came from My Creative Time and I used Viva Pearl Pens. My card base is a 4x9 1/4 size, love this size card and it was perfect for my long leggy girl which is on two thicknesses of foam tape! I hope you like my card (click on the pic to make it bigger) and I hope you will check out Jo's blog and challenge and join in with us! Thank as always for your lovely comments and for taking the time to visit me!
Here is the sketch:

Brenda your card is beautiful! I love the colors, heck I love the whole thing!!
Oh I DO like your card. I played with paper dolls as a child - still probably would if I could!!! Your take on this one is awesome, loved her little frilly skirt. Especially liked the onpoint squares you framed her with. Great pearls too! I'll check out the challenge...see what tis all about. Hope the mowing is not gaining on you too much. Hugs, & have a wonderful holiday weekend.Ooops forgot to say: Great Noir coloring...you really got the fleshtones great.
So glad you loved your present. Your little Prima gal is so cute. Love her plaid skirt. Fun to do some girly stuff isn't it. Hugs my friend.
I love the Prima Doll! I love the patterned papers you've used for her dress and the squares. The pearls looks great as well! Wonderful job my friend!
Lots of Hugs,
Laura
I love the 'simplicity' of this adorable card and the use of pattern patches to back up and coordinate with the girl! Cute! (Soooo...are You the 'connection' to Jo who has been a faithful Follower of mine since she 'discovered' me...?? I had wondered how she 'found' me...) ;-}

Just popped over from Mary's blog...she has mentioned you and hyperlinked you today. Sounds like a great challenge. I will see if I can put something together...but I have the grands coming for a sleepover so life could get busy thios weekend!!!
Your design card is great...I love the paper piecing on the dress!
Wow Brenda! This is beautiful! I love the papers - the colors are so pretty and I like how you interpreted the sketch to run it in another direction. I've never paper pierced before - will have to experiment! I love what you did with the Prima Doll - the paper piercing and the coloring! I'm a new follower! :) ~Vanessa
