Anyway, while I was watching the weather this week, there was mention of the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. And I thought, why not a cherry blossom inspired paper doll?!
The longer skirt & puffy sleeved blouse were inspired by an Alexander McQueen outfit I've seen floating around Pinterest. I just love everything about that set! The longer skirt here can be worn over or under the puffy sleeved blouse, but probably just underneath the other one. I haven't tested it yet. Also, I was too lazy to create a new hairstyle so I gave her some rad pink highlights instead. I created the sakura blossom pattern in Illustrator. Took a couple of tries to get it right!
For those of you celebrating, have a happy Easter this weekend. And if you're looking for an Easter project, go check out last year's Easter paper doll family.
She great. I love the floral pattern on the blouse and skirt. Really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty happy with how it turned out, too. I've wanted to reference that McQueen skirt somewhere for so long!
Deletewhat a beautiful pattern! and as always i love the mix and match quality of this!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll admit, it took way longer than I thought it would to make the pattern. It's only one flower scaled & repeated, but that one flower took for-ev-er!!
DeleteYour paper dolls are wonderful! Thank you for sharing them! My 7yo daughter is obsessed. :)
