I made this card for the sketch challenge with Maddy Mason in mind. Maddy is a sweet splitcoaster that is ill. Maddy Mason RAK Request
The bird and nest were colored with copic markers and highlighted with Sakura stardust gel pen. The 2 strips under the main image are adhesive ribbon by Martha Stewart. It was brown and white, so I sponged it with River Rock to tone it down. The bird nest is a new stamp by Inkadinkado.
The inside has a new sentiment that I just got from Eureka stamps with Maddy in mind. It reads:
I'm so sorry you have not been feeling well! I am praying that you feel better soon, to again enjoy the pleasure of days filled with strength, joy, and love.
p.s. Gert, thanks for returning my May Arts ribbon!

Really lovely Shelly!! I love how you've popped up the bird!That image of the mother bird waiting for the eggs to hatch is an image of hope.. it's a beautiful card for Maddy. Wonderful work with the copic markers... I can't afford them anyway, but I've heard it's difficult to adapt to them - you are doing wonderfully!!! TFS!
