Mouse Birthday Card

I needed a quick card for a cousin who loves animals - even mice.  I don't remember where I got the printed/foiled die cuts - I think my Mom may have given them to me, but I may have gotten them as a freebie in a paper crafting magazine.  Regardless, The focal, greeting, and mouse on the inside all came from that set.  

For the card front, I found a green card stock in my scrap pile that I thought would work, grabbed a piece of gold poster board & cut a mat for it, cut a circle out of it to use on the inside (circle die from Lifestyle), and found a couple more scraps to use for the border.  Quick & easy.

Inside:


I used more of the border on the inside, and another scrap of brown for a 2nd mat to go with the green (Lifestyle circle dies again).  The cream is actually a mat/background for the mouse since it didn't come with a background (Yup - circle die again).  To add a bit of interest, I decided to offset the mats at the top.
