An Inchy Seed Cake

Time for Julia’s WT Challenge at Splitcoast! Today’s challenge is to use inchies.  If you don’t have inchies, you can use anything that’s one-inch square.

{Make a Wish}

MAWR3I believe this little bird’s wish is that the candle doesn’t set the tree on fire.  Hmmm….

I don’t have any inchies so I dug through a pile of generic chipboard until I found a one-inch square piece.  I covered it with Aleene’s Paper Glaze (like SU’s Crystal Effects) and then sprinkled bird seed over the glue. 

For the stamps, I used Kim Hughes’ new set, The Landing Pad, from Cornish Heritage Farms.  The bird bath serves as a cake stand and I used one of the leaves as the candle, filling in with a Spica gold glitter pen.  The little bird is from Kim’s Pretty Birds set and the sentiment is from Mona Lisa Moments’ Birthday Centers.

Thanks so much for looking!  Have a great day!
