In the last century, my younger sister had an enviable collection of Liddle Kiddle dolls, and that’s what the characters in this set remind me of. (Doing just the tiniest bit of research on these mini dolls made me laugh all over again!)
Since they are so playful and unrealistic, these By My Side kids are fun (not stressful) to color. I usually outline the line image I color, as it creates the illusion that the image is cut out and “popped up.”
You’ll notice from the title of this post that this is a “Dutch Door” card. There’s nothing really fancy about it, as you’re basically just slicing off the upper half of the card front. Of course, you must remember not to adhere the entire circle, only the bottom. (But you knew that, right?) I embossed just the upper half of the white card liner so I could write my message inside. I don’t think I have a folder to replace the retired Ornate Floral 3D.
As usual, the colors are not true here; the card base and DSP on the front are both Tahitian Tide (aka turquoise). And this cutie is much more of a carrot top than it seems here. I’ve had this card ready to go forever, and now it is in the mail, ta-da!
