Stamp from Greetings of the Season 2010 from Mark's Finest Papers. OK, I know that is supposed to be a Cardinal, but I wanted a Stellar Blue Jay! I stamped & heat embossed with black EP. I "painted" with LuminArte powdered pigments & Perfect Pearl Powdered Pigments mixed with Gum Arabic. Little dragon flies are from Studio G Clear stamps. I stitched around the perimeter with white thread.
Challenges:

MarksFinestPapers: Ch #54 - No Embellishments
