Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I may have mentioned that overflowing UFO box?
I used 2 pieces from it on this card.
This bird cut from corrugated cardboard fit fine on the stamped flourish.
I embossed a frame on the card base, added a sentiment and a rhinestone eye
and it was done.
Oh, and I did a little distressing around the edges for a rustic look (and to
camouflage imperfect cutting).
Challenges:
Seize the Birthday #276 - I used the option of Kraft + one color. I hope white it okay. Just in case, I chose a yellow eye.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty place for your UFO bird to land -- the flourish works perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use corrugated cardboard. I love the look xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes - the overflowing UFO box. I'm going through mine and tossing some of it. Love the card you made with a couple of your UFOs - great idea to sit the bird on the flourish!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit different cutting the bird from corrugated card and he stands beautifully on the flourish, and love the kraft frame with the white..a great sentiment too Bonnie. x
ReplyDeleteCool look for the bird!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity with the cardboard bird, and the flourish for grounding is brilliant! The rough edges, the framing, the big sentiment-- all work together beautifully. Two more from your UFO box is good progress, too!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, such a lovely CAS card. Love how you grounded your bird on the flourish. Thank you for joining us at Seize the Birthday. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteThis bird cut from corrugated tehtura is amazing. This is a brilliant idea, the bird has such an interesting look thanks to the stripes. The swirls make a great base and the whole rustic card is beautiful.

Sweet birdie - love the texture, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteI chuckled at your comment about a UFO box. Love that you used cardboard in your design. The added texture was fun and unexpected. Such a great Birthday card for anyone. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday. Also, I have too many UFO boxes to count, and one day I might just toss the entire lot.
