Today's challenge is to try on a new style for size. While Art Nouveau images are not quite my thing, sometimes as a designer, you're asked to make a sample with something you wouldn't normally use. I tried to capture that vintage art nouveau style with this drama queen image by using papers and colors that fit the style. While it's not really my thing, it was fun to stretch myself and come up with something that still worked.
Stamps: Drama Queen by Cornish Heritage Farms
Vintage Text Scrapblock by Cornish Heritage Farms
Sassy Petites (Mona Lisa Moments line) by CHF
Ink: Black Memento by Tsukineko, Vintage Photo Distess Ink by Ranger
Paper: Simply Smooth white cardstock by CHF, patterned paper by Graphic 45
Other: gaffer tape by 7 Gypsies, flower by Prima, button by Autumn Leaves, pearl sticker, ribbon by Creative Impressions, extra large eyelet by We R Memory Keepers, sewing machine

Julia--
This may not be "your thing," but you've certainly put your style on it! I knew it was yours before I even saw your name! Great job--going into my favs!

This is gorgeous!!! I don't know where to start. Every detail is beautiful. I love the colors, or lack of them. The stitching is awesome. I love the big eyelet with the crimped ribbon. Very very nice!!
