Voice Like A Nightingale


Back for week four as a Guest Designer for Layers Of Color
I used the Bird Queen cling art stamp and Royal Birds stamps.
I sponged over the flourish art stencil with embossing ink then embossed with brass EP. 
Colored the birds and crown with markers.
Machine stitched around the paper mounted to a black base.

    You machine-stitch, too!!! Is there anything you can't do, girl??? I've been considering one of those Sew Easy tools, but only considering.

    Great creation, as always!
