here's another birthday card i made for mignon--can't just do one right?! i love this little balloon mouse from the saltbox studio and it's perfect for birthdays. i really liked how the paper pieced umbrellas turned out earlier this week, which gave me the idea to do a few balloons that way. normally, the mouse is holding just one, but i wanted more so i just added them and doodled the strings, popping the front two up for dimension. for the first time, i colored the mouse white for a little bit of pop on the blue background--i usually color him gray or brown, but i think i like the change. and since the other card said happy birthday, i chose "onward & upward" since turning 10 is definitely that!
have a great weekend! i have a busy one, so i probably won't be back until monday...
