Love Birds Anniversary Card

 My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary today!  15 magical years together!  We've been through a lot together but our love continues to grow stronger every day.  Through the years we have grown even closer, finding that we share even more in common than we had originally though.  We are truly soul mates.  Enough about our mushy stuff, on with my project...  I've been exploring my new Eclips.  And am really impressed with it.  I will be doing a tutorial (later this week) showing some of the great features.  I created this Anniversary card using the Card Front cartridge.

The card stock I used was a shimmer paper by DCWV. I like how detailed the cuts are. For the second flap, behind the birds, I inserted a piece of white cardstock that I inked a bit to make look like the sky. I wanted to have it shadow a bit so the scrolls and birds stood out. I love how you are able to choose which pieces you wish to cut, and are able to see them all on the screen. It also has an envelope that you can cut to fit your card. I think it turned out fabulous! My husband thought so too.
