It looks like this mouse is up to no good, stealing this whole platter of cupcakes!!!
Ha!! This was a fun card to make. The mouse is from a really old "stamp of the month" that I bought years and years ago and never even used. It is a Penny Black stamp, and had a row of mice holding balloons.
You can't tell from the picture, but the "tablecloth" is popped up alot just under the scoreline. The cupcakes are also all popped up.
The background was made using a piece of real screen. I was to cheap to buy that bg stamp, when I could do it this way.
TFL!!

Oh my goodness. A mouse that is both a thief and a juggler. Quite the combination. Very creative of you to use actual screen. Gotta love the red gingham ribbon with the tablecloth.

What a cutie this is! I am loving all the red checked paper you have been using. I have some that I have been wanting to use but haven't made the right card for it yet. This "old" stamp combined with the cupcake stamp is soooo cute and love your real screen bg. You saved enough using it to buy a new goodie. Yea!!!
