Bird's Eye View - Valentine card

Color challenge

I am in the middle of a two week journey of posting a new valentines day themed card every day and todays card is part of the January Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. I hope you enjoy my card, especially since I HAD A BLAST creating it. This was my first time using the Bird's Eye View stamp set. It was super fun to create a whimsical Valentine card..... and I know just who I am sending it to! A person that LOVES BOOKS, wears glasses and happens to love birds!! Win/Win for me!!
