Farewell Cake:
with the optional challenge of Sentiments
I was inspired by the butterflies and the flowers and I did use a combination of sentiments. Looking at the inspiration picture now, I also realize that I pulled the yellow and green in from the leaves and some of the flowers. Yesterday was birthday day in our house so this will be one of the thank you cards for the many gifts received.
Now it's time to hop on over to The Lollipop Ladies blog for all the details of the challenge and then get inky and play along!
