Here comes the cake!

This card was made using Special Delivery from Digi Doodle Shop.

I coloured him with copics and because I didnt want the card to be too girly I used monochrome and yellow which I think works quite well...

The butterflies are a Cheery Lynn die as is the corner.

The swirl is Fanciful Flourish from Cheery Lynn.

The flowers and lace are from my stash
