Pained paper towel background, stamped with a background stamp and focal image.
This piece caused alot of frustration for me. I honestly like the way it looks as is but from what I've learned I felt I was supposed to add more stuff to it, embellish it. I spent hours looking for just the right thing to finish it off. I cut out words from magazines but felt the y took away from the simplicity of the piece. I finally gave up and posted it to the group which turned out to be a good thing as I now know this piece is fine just the way it is.
Thanks Sherre for taking the time to reassure me and encourage me - I needed that. And thanks to all the others in the group who took the time to give their input as well.

That's the thing about art, Danielle. There is no wrong way to do it. :-)
The only thing you lack is confidence, not artistic ability. As soon as you believe in yourself, you will see your artwork blossom.
I believe in you. (((hugs)))
I think it's beautiful! The painted bg turned out awesome.
I love it Danielle!! The thing I try to remember from my daughter, she tells me " Mom,less is more". Like you I always look to add, but this piece you did needs nothing added.
Just beautiful!
The beauty of your ATC here is its simplicity! Like a Masters Thesis, padding and pillows do not a Master make. You have a wonderful example here of great composition, color sense and proportion. For heaven's sake, don't change! I love, love, LOVE it! Fondly, Kim
Thanks for all the words of encouragement - they truly mean alot to me!
