Thank goodness Cindy added a backdoor policy! You see, I had to clean some filters today on my day off. Designed this card before I left. It just happened to fit with the color challenge. haha I got home, took my boots off and set my *white* cup of tea down on the window sill. Went to read what was happening at the tea party today. Discovered I had used a few too many colors on my card. Thus the backdoor
entry!.........details....
Running a little late, hope there is some of MariLynn's happy cake left. I am hungry! I drew this little window scene. It reminds me of the movie Under the Tuscan Sun that I watched the other night. I also had the SU Branch Out set on my table and the tiny parts just fit perfectly with my scene.
I drew the white tea cup so I could fit in with the *white* theme at the party today. It is a little small so I added the tea cup pointer so you could see it! LOL
Cut my layers out with a squiggly coluzzle, sponged edges and doodled. Put this on a white panel that I scored then sponged color on.
Put all this on a card that I doodled the edges and then left ......white.... trying to tone down all the extra colors so I wouldn't be scolded too bad for coming in the backdoor! Well, hope you like it and that you can see my tea cup cause it needs to be refilled!!! .........TFL :0)

Hey Mutnik, that's just beautiful. I am here looking at it trying to put my finger on what it reminds me. Never seen that film, so it's not that, and the colours (and wellingtons!) are wrong for Greece. Wish I was sitting there by that window right now, with a nice cup of Lapsang and slice of lemon, listening to the bird.

You drew this? You go girl. Love it. Love the colors and so funny, you made me laugh, with your conversation bubble. If you did not get any cake I have some in my freezer Cindy sent me home with because I could not stay with my stomach bug.
