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}
I 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!
