My cousin is turning 18 and this is the card I made for him using the mouse from the Penny Black clear stamp set “paint the town”. I just received this stamp set from my wonderful sister-in-law for my birthday and love it! As you might notice, I replaced the cake the mouse is holding with the number 18. I cut it with the Cricut and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, created the oval window with my Nestabilities and added the title “happy birthday” from the PB transparent set “Critter Party”.
Thanks for stopping by and spending some of your time with me!
Get Inky with Silke 
It’s really lovely!! I liked how you used different types of carton!!
I love this card. The dots are fabulous. :-)
This is wonderful! Less is BEST with this card because the little mouse holding up the numbers is fantastic and says it all.
Eine tolle Karte!!!!! Das Geburtstagskind wird sich bestimmt freuen.
Silke I love how you exchanged the cake & candles for the big “18”. Very cute!
Cute little mouse! Nice work with the 18-great card!!
GREAT card! Fantastic design! Love how you replaced the cake with the number – so clever. Your cousin will love it!
Really cute! I love the monochrome blue.
Great card & love the colors! TFS!!!!
what a fun card!…i love the almost CAS look to it
I love the tall, thin look and the texture of the papers! I think the “cut out” oval showing the darker paper and image is great! Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing!

Silke, I love that you used your Cricut to make part of this card! It’s absolutely darling. Clever idea to have the mouse hold the number!
so clever to have him “holding up” the numbers, love it!
