House Mouse Birthday Gift

 Hi everybody!  Today I am sharing a card I created for House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #339 - Anything Goes with the option of Slimline Card.  Isn't Monica just so cute waiting for her birthday gift?!

To start this card I cut a piece of Copic friendly white cardstock with the scalloped frame die from Newton's Nook Designs Slimline Frames and Portholes die set.  I then stamped this adorable image featuring Monica and Mudpie, and colored it with Copic markers.  I used NND Confetti stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade.  I tried very hard not to get any ink on my colored image!  Then I adhered my colored panel to a bight pink cardbase.  

I used NND Banner Trio die set to cut a piece of white cardstock for my sentiment.  I gold heat embossed the sentiment, which is from NND Birthday Roundabout stamp set, and gold heat embossed the edges of the banner as well.  I popped up the sentiment with foam tape for some dimension!

Copic colors used for Monica:

• Fur - T1, T3, T5
• Skin - E50, E51
• Nose, Cheek, Ear - E93

Mudpie:

• Fur - E21, E23, E25
• Skin - E50, E51
• Nose, Cheeks, Ears - E93

Hat:

• RV10, RV13, RV14
• Y00, Y02, Y08

Gift:

• YG01, YG06, YG09
• RV13, RV14

Bow:

• Y02, Y08, Y26

For finishing touches on this card I used a gold sparkle pen for the candle flames on the gift, I added glitter to Monica's hat and the bow, and glossy accents to their cute little noses!  I also added some sequins for extra sparkle!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!
