Beary Mice Surprise Birthday Card

Birthday card with Di's Digi Stamps Beary Nice Surprise digi, colored with Luminance pencils, by Paperesse.

Di's Digi Stamps Beary Mice Surprise digi is front and center on today's birthday card. Evidently, I have a soft spot for Di's cupcake stamps as I have quite a few (search the blog by 'cupcake' and you'll see what I mean). Maybe it's because I haven't had a real cupcake in years, probably decades; they're not a French thang. Although you might find a specialty shop here and there in the big cities, there's never any gluten free ones (sigh). Oh well, I can enjoy coloring them.

I used a favorite combination for the papers – a black and white background against other brighter colors (this masculine birthday card is another example of same). I used no-brand border strip dies in place of ribbon and topped it off with some enamel dots. The sentiment was created with Pea Elizabeth Ashley font.

  4. Such a darling card! I'm totally smitten with that little mouse helping out his bear friend. And poor you with no cupcakes for so long!! You may need to leave your craft room to bake your own gluten-free stash to enjoy!
