50th Birthday Card in Red

Not a challenge card this time. A colleague asked me to make a 50th birthday card for her friend Jan, who loves the colour red and lives on a farm. Well after a bit of puzzling (quite a lot really) over various animal stamps, I couldn't find one that I was happy with so I abandoned that idea and returned to this layout that I have used before. I went with the red idea and used DP's from Pink Petticoat but looking at it now I think I may have gone overboard with the colour. I'm not entirely happy with the striped paper either ... would have prefered thinner stripes ... but this was the only one I could find. The rubber stamp is by Dimension Fourth and shows a mouse in a champagne glass ... they probably have got mice on the farm though I doubt they give them champagne to drink. The card is A5 size and finished with a length of red ribbon, wine bottle charm and a few clear gems.
