Sassy Cheryl - Sneaky Mouse - Have a mice birthdayCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

This is such a cutie for the young at heart, and an equally suitable greeting for an unlimited age range. I had such fun looking at this cheeky mouse, biting into the cake, while constructing this card. It is also a very interesting mix of colours, by using the bright blues and greens. This makes the completed card very eye catching. I printed the sheet onto, 200gsm white card, and cut out all the elements. I completed the topper, by colouring in the edges of the circle element, with a permanent metallic gold pen. I then attached it to the topper with padded D.S. tape. I made 3 backing sheets to attach with padded D.S. tape. The smallest of these is a pale apple green, and measures 12.25cm x 9cm, and I coloured the edges of this with a darker apple green permanent pen. The next size is a darker apple green, and measures, 12 .50 x 9.25cm, and I coloured the edges of this with a green metallic permanent pen. The largest backing sheet is the bright yellow, and it measures, 13 x 10cm. I attached the topper to these three backing sheets, and made a simple bow in a length of yellow satin ribbon, and by attaching it, with D.S. tape, then wrapping it around the group of backing sheets, to the back, and securing it with D.S. tape. Using a textured bright blue core card, which I cut at, 22 x14cm and then, before scoring and folding this, I coloured all the edges with a bright blue permanent marker. I attached the completed topper, with red power tape. To make the insert, I used a very light spring print, in blues, yellows, and greens, and cut it to fit. I cut out a circle, and coloured the edges with the gold metallic pen, and attached the sentiment. I used the gold pen to draw some little mice. The verse insert I used, is from a previous purchase, cup838330_1398. I coloured the edges of this, with the same gold pen. The insert pieces are attached with D.S. tape. I used the same gold pen to colour the edges of the spring print insert. This is a very colourful card displaying a very mischievous look. Thank you for the design.
