I'm posting this submission for Wednesday Stamper's Summer Tea Party challenge with a little trepidation. I like it -- but given that I was the girl who took drafting in high school rather than submit myself to art class, I guess I'm just a little unsure about this piece. I'd say it's a little outside what I usually create.
This piece caught me playing around with gesso for the first time. I created my background with some gesso and raspberry paint. I used this female image I found on some Crafty Secrets paper. She was holding a small coin bag, but I substituted my tea cup instead. The theme brought to mind gardens, so I decided to have butterflies flying from her cup.
Stamps used: Art Impressions, Cavallini, Studio G, Paperbag Studios

You did fabulously! Gesso is a wonderful product; it goes with just about anything! (I'm the one who took the art classes. LOL)
What an impressive work of art, Louise. You used the elements to create a really beautiful piece. It almost tells a story.
OH, OH, OH! Not only is this truly lovely and inspiring, but you took drafting in school, too!?!
I took drafting for 2 years and was about the only girl in there. No wonder I like you and your art!
Lovely Tea Party.
That is fabulous.
Lovely card Louise!
Beautiful - very effective, it has something different to it, must be the gesso (whatever that is.. lol).
