That’s the theme at MMM this week and there’s a beautiful birdhouse as an example… I decided to use my Birdie handcarved stamp and one of the lovely Home Impressions “Doodle Houses” to journal/embellish my first background Layer Love painting.
I used the drips as journal lines and branches and the writing actually says: “Flying so high like a Birdie, finding my Art Wings… Leaving the nest”.
Unfortunately the light has been pretty poor all day so I had to use the flash and it’s not as garish in RL – the punchinella parts are more subtle, but I think Ria will like it!
