I chose the Love Bird as my inspiration piece. I was browsing and as soon as I saw this piece, I pictured a black & silver Valentine's card. I know it may not be your usual colors for this Holiday but I think it's funny how we get inspired & I like being different :-) I used brushed silver cardstock as my base, textured my black background piece and used a pearl as an eyeball for my bird. I also embossed my sentiment & the French words underneath the bird to accent my card a bit more. Overall, I like the final result and I hope you do too!! For even more inspiration, check out the rest of the Design Team's work & leave them some love:
I can't wait to see what you create!
