Paper Dolls Challenge #48: Find-a-File

[5/20 Edit - Finally! Here's the gift set photo.  For mo' betta photos, paper crafty details, & supplies, visit: gifting it]
Hello dolly friends! christy here from gifting it here with a new Paper Dolls challenge.  This month, hunt through your forgotten computer files for a template, a digital paper, a color inspiration... whatever moves you.  Just create and post your link - you have until June 9th to play along!
Fit for a wild thing! :)  The finger puppets template coordinates with PTI's Tiny Treats: Birthday and can be downloaded along with instructions at: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2011/01/introducing-tiny-treats-birthday.html
 
They're hand-stitched with three strands of pink embroidery floss (I didn't stitch where a mouth piece covers the face). 
 Dig those chunky teeth!  For eyes I used black beads instead of french knots. 
The whiskers are button twine colored with pink Sharpie to look like baker's twine - the extra stiffness looks great.
That royal velvet felt really makes the pink stitches pop!  Cheeky monkey...

So don't be shy now - keep me company and play along!
xoxo,
Christy
