CCEE2026 - National Bald Eagle Day

Vicky ends her month as hostess for the CCEE Stampers by telling us that today we celebrate the Bald Eagle.  She asked us to make a card with a bird on it . . . extra points if it's a Bald Eagle.

I'm always in for the extra points!  I have a couple of bald eagle stamps  The one on the front of my card is from an old MFP Stamp Shop set.  The background for my card is one of Karen Burniston's new Pattern Plates -- this one is Tiles.  Before adhering the Tiles cover plate on the front of my card, I sponged on some red and blue Distress Oxide ink and then glued down the die cut.


The inside of my card has another bald eagle as well as some fireworks and an American Flag mounted on the Karen Burniston Paper Frames die cut.  I added the two banners at the top.  Those little "pennants" are part of the die set as well.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more birds (eagles or otherwise).
