KEWPIE DOLLS

I remember owning a kewpie doll in the 60's when I was a child, and she had a yellow knitted dress that my mum made.  I was amazed to learn that they were first conceived as a comic strip in 1909 by Rose O'Niell.  I had completely forgotten about them until I got to colouring a vintage image from a sheet by Nicecrane Designs, called Kewpies and Kids.  

Here is my card made with one of the images:

I used alcohol markers and a white gel pen to co,our the image.  I overemphasized their rosy cheeks to give their cute little faces a little extra charm:

To create my card I used the following from my hoarded stash:

blue cs card base - distressed

blue cs mats  - distressed

cream cs on which image was printed a coloured   - distressed

three different patterned papers  - distressed

washi tape

peel off sentiment

lace

twine

sewn on sequins and pearls

flower and leaf

flat back pearls

butterfly sequin

Thanks for popping by today.
