First let me apologize for the photo. I broke my camera and had to scan the image, thus cropping off the tail of the bow. The image was stamped in Memento black and colored with pencil. When finished, I was not happy with the faint black in the background. I cut the entire image off of the script, stamped the image again and embossed with black. Then adhered the image back on. The black in the structure behind the angel was all hand colored in black to darken it. Thanks for stopping by.

Stunning, Nancy! You amaze me with your artistry! Such a classical feel to that image, especially how you've colored her and the background. Here's hoping Santa brings you a shiny new camera for Christmas

Wow!! What a LOT of work involved with your image!! I have that same problem with black seems no matter how freshly I have reinked!
This little angle is so sweet! You have colored her little face so innocently she truly looks angelic!
I have to start using other forms of color again and practice up! Fantastic job and as always, I love your stitching on the corners!!
