Birthday balloons

Hi everyone, I'm playing with my new toy. My lovely hubby treated me to an iPad and I'm playing about to find out what it can do. I found an app to add a signature to my photos so I don't have to use photoshop. I'm even playing with the cloud and photo stream... Ooh get me. I'm not usually that adventurous nowadays but being married to a techie geek means I need to make an effort...I used to be intelligent once...but then I had kids!

Here's a card I made for my best friend Sue's birthday last month. She bought me some House Mouse stamps for Christmas and I couldn't wait to use one....


I made a shaker card. The image has been coloured using copics. The backing paper was from a cd. The sentiment is LOTV. The sentiment was cut out with a spellbinder die. I cut the frame by hand, including a black mat, visible on both the outer and inner frame. I used extra sticky tape to add glitter to the frame, adding a star to finish off. I then added the little mouse balancing the candle, using foam pads.

I would like to enter this for House Mouse - anything goes with special cuts

Thanks for visiting. I hope to see you again soon.
