Less is more - One layer card with theme Birds

This was the only way to photograph this card to show the embossing. It was most difficult to make this a one layer card, but it is. I wanted to create a stain glassed window with birds flying in front of it. I used the backside and the frontside (which is script, The Lord is My Shepherd). On the backside of the stamp I inked it up with distress inks and sprayed with water for the effect.



The challenge and the other entries can be found here.
Thanks to Chrissy and Mandi for the Challenge.
