Love 2 Create - Paper Piecing
http://lovetocreatechallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/challenge-70-paper-piecing.html

I used some green scrap paper for the background - I thought it kinda looked like a grass pattern.  The striped paper is one from MME.  The image is from Digi Stamps 4 Joy and has been "coloured" with a combination of paper piecing and copic markers.  It is a bit hard to pick up the pattern on the shirt, short and socks from the photograph but the paper does have a subtle pattern on it.

I have added some fibre across the card and two green buttons from my Mum's button box.  The sentiment is by ? (anyone recognise it?) and has been die-cut with a Spellbinders die.  I'll keep looking for the source of this sentiment but I really need to get this uploaded before one of the above challenges closes!
