The pastor of the little church that we are visiting with here in Tucson has a birthday this week. So I opted to be the card lady for a congregational card. I was a bit short on time and so visited Etsy to find some watercolor clipart of a flying eagle and was not disappointed.
I found the Bald Eagle Watercolor Clipart collection by Amalie Roepstorff. They are a good quality .png, so perfect to create cutlines in my Silhouette Studio. I designed my card in Silhouette Studio, making it a 5.5 x 8.5 inch size so that there would be plenty enough room for everyone to sign inside. I filled the rectangle with a a galaxy sky background digital paper from the Galaxy Backgrounds by PeDe Designs. I created another rectangle at 5.5 x 8.5 inches and created an internal offset. After selecting both the internal and the external rectangles, I used the subtract function to create a frame. Using the inner line of the frame as a path, I added the text around it on three sides.

A great male card. I love the background you chose for this card. He works very well with a flying eagle.
