You brought us another winner this week Stef and thanks to justwritedesigns for the heads up on Frank Lloyd Wright's Arizona Biltmore Hotel; especially the incredible stained glass windows. Thanks for the inspiration. I am also putting this into the amazing fashion gallery this months dirty dozen has challenged us with...are YOU a fan club member...you will be so glad you did!
I decided to use my Rendre Belle from B Line Designs...she's on a weekend getaway to the desert. This hotel was built in 1929 when style and elegance were perhaps at their height. I stamped my girl onto GP white cs with Archival jet black and slightly embossed in clear. I colored with Copics and used the Spica clear glitter pen on her silk stockings. The image was cut placed on my main base. I photo printed one of the windows Stef had as an example to create the backdrop to my beauty. I embossed the larger black vertical bars for depth. My finishing touch is the sentiment stamped directly (TH di old paper) onto the SU river rock...one actually attributed to Frank Lloyd Wright. "THE TRICK IS TO GROW UP without getting old"
Thanks so much for the gift of your time in my gallery, I love to read your insightful comments. I'll be back later tonight to peruse the gallery and comment...I'm off to play, get a bit of teaching and fellowship with other artists!!! Have a great day

What a wonderful card. How clever to incorporate the windows into the background of the scene you created. That image is just wonderful. Great job on the challenge.
