Let's Celebrate Birthdays

 Well it's been awhile since I've posted...life has been busy.

Today I'm sharing a couple of birthday cards that I have made.

First card I made way back in February for a dear friend and then forgot to post the card.  At least I'd didn't forget to send it to her!

 For this card I used the adorable mouse stamp from Unity Stamps, (Tiny Tutu Soiree) Card Stock used, Gorgeous Grape and Basic White (SU). Inks used: Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay*retired ) and Pretty in Pink (SU).  The mouse was stamped with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored with colored pencils and cut out with a Unity circle die. I also edged it with some Pretty in Pink ink.  For the background on the mouse and the portion with the cupcakes I used inks dipped on a piece of acetate and spritzed with water giving it a water color feel.  After it dried I stamped the little cupcake image in the various colors.  I added some glitter to the tutu and some tiny pink/blue pearls.

Next up is the card that I made for my hubby's birthday (which is today).

For this card I started with a piece of Night of Navy card stock (SU)

A piece of old designer paper (BoBunny).  I stamped the image (One of the Good Ones - Unity) with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored it with Pencils.  Then I stamped the background with Memento London Fog ink.  That image is from Stampers Anonymous  (Slight Alterations CMS 060)  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo and mounted it with Foam Tape.  I used a piece of the designer paper to punch a heart and some Night of Navy for the smaller hearts.  Then I stapled them together.  The larger one was mounted with foam tape.  

I hope you've enjoyed seeing these cards.  Have a great day.
