Sunday Stampers Week 97 - Birds - Let Me Fly Free

Here's my entry for Sunday Stampers hosted by Hels.  Background is various DI, can't remember the colours, but they are the old colours, not the new ones.  The birdcage is based on a Crafty Individual stamp, which I've machined stitched.  Large bird is 7 Gypsies and the small ones T!m's.  Finished off with a Dymo legend.  Machine stitched all the way round.  I cannot stand birds in cages after reading Brian Keenans 'An Evil Cradling'.  If you've never read this book I strongly recommend it.

  1. Hi Ann

    Lovely stamping - I've struggled with all these birdcages that have been around because I hate birds in cages too - birds should be flying in the sky!

    Hope you're having a good Sunday
