I immediately knew what I wanted to do when I saw this color story. One of the girls in the Penny Black set "Hello Gorgeous" kinda reminds me of "girl next door" Marianne from the old TV series "Gilligan's Island". I did a combination of paper piecing and coloring with chalks. I even stamped her "cropped jeans" on some sticky backed canvas and colored them in with a Faded Jeans distress marker:
And since I think every "Marianne" deserves a little bit of "Ginger" glamour I added the blingy sunglasses from the same PB set :)
Other Materials Used: MSE sentiment, Amuse gingham pp, Making Memories ribbon, Spellbinder Nestie, Stampin' Up cs, Hero Arts clear gems
And I knew once I started using gingham I wouldn't be able to stop! So I'm also entering this in the Moxie Fab World Gingham Challenge.
Have a great week everyone :)

This card is hilarious - I'm still grinning! Your idea to paper-piece is fun-tastic! Such a great use of the gingham. Good luck - you are a winner in my book!
