Maria’s Cute Bird’s Eye View Card

Maria messaged several weeks ago to ask if I had an extra pack of Stargazing Designer Series Paper for the eclipse cards she was making for an eclipse party. Of course I had some extra pages, so I was happy to give them to a good home when she swung by to pick them up. I didn’t ask for anything in exchange, but still she brought an exchange – some adorable cards she’d made. I’m excited to share one of them with you today. Here’s the card Maria made with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set:

Bird's Eye View, Stampin Up!, by Maria FriedmanHow adorable is that card?! There are so many elements of this card to love – the textures, the torn elements, the adorable bird, the to-the-edge elements. I love them all – even though she won me over with just the vellum circle (you know how much I love a vellum element).

Here’s a look at the Bird’s Eye View stamp set:

I love how Maria has colored the bird on this card – I always try to color everything in, but she added a soft line of ink just inside the Tuxedo Black Memento lines. So sweet! Here’s a closer look:
