Tea,Roses and Lace

This all began by painting with colors I'm not
familiar with. Pink and purple. I gave myself
permission to use "girlie" colors. It took me back to a time I actually wore a bright pink suit
for Easter and went to Sunrise Service under the
Natural Bridge. Oh boy! Another therapeutic
moment. I am allowing myself to feel "being a girl".
Here are the three FPCs to be traded on FAT "Tea, Roses and Lace" with JanB.
They are way out of my element and comfort zone. But I did them and am proud to have achieved something new.

Neocolor wax pastel background for bottom two.
One is very victorian, one I actually used the silk tea bag from B&N peppermint tea. One I used vintage hankie cut up.
