Hi! This card fits the Inspiration Challenge this week: Decade Gifts. Here is the photo of the shoe clips! Loves these colors and shapes! And the Labels die really works with this inspiration, I think.
The bird was inked in Palette Inks: Tiole and then Nude to create the coordinating color for the Capella designer paper! I stamped the twig portion of the bird on the tree silhouette from the set and added Martha Stewert Punched flowers. (MFP has the punches used on this card!) I colored in the flowers on the bird with Copic Markers.
Markie's surgery went well. However, there were complications with the anesthesia. He had a severe reaction that went on for hours. It was very frightening, and at one point, the chaplin came to talk to me. That was when I REALLY began to panic. Finally, I mentioned to ALL SEVEN of the doctors that he had NOT had his "regular meds" and they REFUSED to give them to him because of the surgery. I gave them to him, and 14 minutes later he calmed and passed out from exhaustion. I was very upset that it took a medical OUTSIDER to figure out what was wrong...
He is fine now, home and playing his new Wii game...
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
