The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan - Paper Piecing

I'm way late in getting my post up for The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan. I used a sweet image from Saturated Canary with Chase Your Dreams by Bella Gypsy. The kit is no longer available at The Digichick. I've been traveling a lot and I was working ahead. I love the polka dot tights. I digital paper pieced the image by placing the stamp over the digital paper in PSE and then printing it. I cut out each layer and glued them onto the base stamp where I'd colored here face and arms.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Saturated Canary #24 - photo inspiration - I love the light blue from the bicycle.
2. Totally Papercrafts - zesty summer colors
3. CCEE Stampers - paper piecing
4. Divas by Design #49 - anything goes
5. The Paper Shelter #78 - anything goes
6. Lollipop Crafts #87 - anything goes

Here are the products I used:
