This is a b/day card for my 60+ BIL. The inside says "Hope you realize how much we'll mis being there to share in the excitement.........blah blah....and seeing you hyperventilate as you blow out all those candles."
For the icing on the cupcake, I watercolored it dark brown for chocolate, then reverse masked it and clear embossed it. The mice are watercolored using pencils and Windsor & Newton Blending Mediium rather than water. This stuff does a really good job blending the pencils. Of course, the BG is dry embossed using the Cuttlebug and the Happy Birthday folder directly onto the dark brown CS. The turquoise and brown polkadots are from an ancient slab. This is probably my last little snippet of this paper.
Hope Guy likes it.

Girlie!!! This is the sweetest card! Guy is going to have a fit! I know you're not going to believe this but, today I ALMOST made a card with my brown Happy Birthday that I Cuttlebugged. Wouldn't that have been the weirdest???? I wasn't thinking of using those cute little mice but I was trying to figure out a way to make a big cupcake. Just goes to show, great minds .......... are just a figment of somebody's imagination! Give me a rubber room anytime!
