Beary Mice Surprise Birthday Card

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.
