Birthday Card with Di's Digi Stamps Measure Up Mice Digi

I whipped up this birthday card featuring Di's Digi Stamps Measure Up Mice digi (retired) for a friend of mine who loves to sew. Although not a big fan of real mice, I certainly do like Di's and use them often (e.g. this cheesy mice on the moon anniversary card  – a past favorite).

The Leah digital paper is from artist Terry Cutlip's Tactile Studio digital paper line. I hated to see her shut down her website several years back; she had stunning paper designs. She had an amazing offer once where you could buy all the digital paper packs on her site at that time. I did and it took me 18 months to open, download and organize them all. I have 625 digital packs and 7387 images in my Tactile Studio digital file. If you're wondering how I store and organize all that, I use Adobe Bridge for all my photos and digital creative content. Out of curiosity, I googled Tactile Studio when writing this post and apparently she has a website up and running again, but unfortunately, her digital papers aren't part of it. 

The banner was created with a no-brand border die. Pea Elizabeth Ashley font was used for the sentiment. Big enamel dots give some bling.

I'm linking up with the following challenges: Di's Digi Designs Challenge 07/06 – Furry Friends, Seize the Birthday #285 – ATG, Creative Fingers #280 – ATG, As You Like It 13/06 – Favorite: With or Without Words & Why (Definitely words. I almost always have a sentiment of some sort on my cards, although they're not always specific; sometimes I choose flexible sentiments that can be used for many different occasions, like this one. I've used it for a birthday here – the birthday sentiment is inside – but it could just as easily be a thank you or thinking of you card.), and Tic Tac Toe #249 – see image below: my choices are Layers, Die Cut and Patterned Paper.
