#108 Sweet Birthday




















Theme at I ♥ Promarkers this week - anything goes!!!!!
Sponsor & prize this week - Joanna Sheen -£10 voucher

















All together now, "Aw..." isn't this a cute image!  These two meeces who have stuffed themselves with all that resplendent cupcake are a House Mouse stamp. Yes, my Promarkers coloured them in as usual and that includes the tiny one in the centre of my sentiment from Bird's Cards. Can you ever have too many cupcakes? LOL. The dps with the jolly balloons perfect for a party atmosphere are both from TLC and cut into a fancy border shape at the bottom. The card is sugar-candy coloured.















Another little mouse is on the inside of the card, 'reading' the large circular sentiment from Cindy Close. The calendar, to which the relevant birthday date has been added using a fine liner was also one of Cindy's. Yes, I can get away with saying 'All the best people were born in March' as it is my birthday in March too, LOL, and not only in the same month as one another, as my friends know, I share 'my day' with my daughter for whom I have made this card.  I will let you do the detective work out what day that was last week! LOL.  I made the tag shape too, cutting out her name and layering an off-cut from the dps (well, I don't like waste when it can be put to good use), from the front of the card placing it behind the cut-work so that it would peep through for a bit of added interest. I have written who the card is from (as if she didn't know!! LOL), on the reverse of the tag before slipping it into the pocket. The ribbon was from my stash.
