Child's Play...

It is Monday and time for the weekly challenge at Craft Your Passion. This one is called Child's Play and requires simply a child or children at play!  So this is my take on the theme - Rules for the challenge and more inspiration from the Design Team can be found (HERE)!

One of my very earliest childhood memories is of coloring with a babysitter.  I was a tow-head then and this scene really brings it all back!  Probably down to the paint spots on the smock & the wall (should have made that the floor, eh?)!

The image was printed out twice, colored with Copics, one was fussy cut into 3 sections, edges colored with black and finally sculpted to round the pieces. The three sections were the legs, head and the smock & they were attached to the first print out with glue in places I wanted to recede (as in the neck, right arm and shoes) and with foam tape where it should stand out (her head, left arm and lower smock.)  The smock was obviously paper pieced from Basic Grey paper (matched with the BG yellow DP used as matting.)
The inside consists of scraps from the three papers used on the front.
All products are listed in detail below.
