A Robin's Mother's Day..............

SOS Headquarters

Hello everyone: I hope all of you are doing well, I keep hoping that soon things will go back to a new "normal" for us, although I feel for all of the thousands of people who have lost loved ones or are sick themselves with this virus.
I also want to thank all of the caring doctors and nurses around the world who are taking care of everyone who's affected, God Bless You!!!!!
I'm thanking also the workers at grocery stores, the post office, pharmacies, gas stations, etc., we are eternally grateful for your selfless service.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, my teammates and I at SHOPPING OUR STASH have a new challenge for you for the next 10 days, with Mother's Day approaching, we want to see cards for Moms, here is mine and I hope it inspires you to play along.


This card was created with 4 different Stampin' Up! sets, I really love it when I can combine my stamps on my cards, I really SHOPPED MY STASH to find each of these sets, they are part of my most cherished ones.
Thank goodness for the MISTI, it helped me position each image to create this sweet, little Spring/Mother's Day scene.
The nest is from a 2009-2010 SU set called "Nature's Nest"
The Robin, the little eggs on the inside of my card  and foliage are from a 2011 SU set called "Nature Walk"
The sentiment is from a 2009-2010 SU set called "Teeny Tiny Wishes"
The butterflies are from a 2012-2013 SU set called "Papillon Potpourri"
Each image is stamped by applying the marker to the rubber stamp on the MISTI using different colors, (Check out this video by Virginia Lu) it's a great way to give your images a watercolored look. 
I added some shading with my Prismacolor pencils.

*******************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

 

The sentiment is from a 2012 Stampabilities greetings set called "Card Phrases"

Wow! What a lovely card, Maria! If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought that was one large stamp! Well done combining them all!

Gorgeous card teammie!
Robins and their pretty blue eggs have always been one of my favourites (maybe from singing Robin in the rain as a kid in school??).
Love seeing them in my garden :)

Lovely card, Maria! I was just sitting at my kitchen window watching the sole hummingbird using our feeder. Hopefully her family will arrive soon. Your card is cheerful and beautiful! Thanks for the uplift!

oh maria, this is so beautiful! i love that you were able to combine a bunch of stamp sets to make this perfectly unique and brilliant mother's day card! (& YES the MISTI is such a game changer, i feel confident stamping right on a surface instead of cutting all the elements out!) ♥

Such a special card for Mother's Day, Maria! Each element blends with another but each also stands out from the rest. I especially like the Robin and bird nest. Great card. Thank you for playing along with us Double Trouble #55.

How beautiful this is, Maria! The stamps are just gorgeous and I especially love how you gave color to the image. The Robin is particularly life like. A lovely botanical print worthy of framing!
