Knowing what a soft heart she has for animals - especially small ones - I decided to use a House Mouse stamp for her card.
I love my clear Wink of Stella pen and used it on the frosting to add just a little sparkle. I'm hoping if you click on the picture at right to see it in a larger format, you'll be able to see the glitter.
I also added a die-cut "Happy Birthday." The "Happy" is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the Birthday banner is by Die-Versions.
I also added some Wink of Stella to all of the letters and adhered some twine across the top of the banner with a little bow at each end.
It's a little hard to see the red letters against the brown patterned paper. I think if I make this card again with the same papers, I'll use some yellow CS for the Happy Birthday.
August is a very busy card-making month for me. We have four grandchildren and several other family members and friends who all celebrate their birthdays this month. I always feel a great sense of accomplishment when I get the August cards made and sent or hand-delivered.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Tie It Up
The Ribbon Girl: Any Image Anything Goes
Edited to add: I am also entering this card into the House Mouse Monday Challenge #200, taking advantage of their Anything Goes option.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Love House Mouse but don't color it very well LOL - this card is perfect for a 10 year old birthday card I bet Polly will love it.
Polly will cherish this card forever, Cheryl! It's just so fun and your coloring is awesome! I have a hamster here jumping up and down on my shoulder, impatiently waiting for me to stop typing in this little box so we can go back and look at "Chubs" on your card!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
