This card represents a BIG moment in our family. For my husband's 70th birthday 2 days ago, he opened a gift from his daughter and her partner that they had made themselves. It was an ultrasound picture of their 1st baby, due Nov 3. They have also been spending the past few months building a rock wall in their backyard. This card will be given to her in celebration of her 43rd birthday next week. We are all so thrilled!
I used several colors of Adirondack inks for the rock wall and added more colors with Distress markers. The nest was stamped with India Ink and colored with DM. I fussy cut an egg from Distress Oxide, rounding it with a stylus. The sky was sponged with a torn piece of paper, placed here and there. I used a glitter embossing powder on the sentiment. The birds were placed just where I wanted them with a positioner.
