Eat Cake!

It's Tuesday, which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. Did you know that February 1st is Spunky Old Broads' Day? Neither did I, but as an official Medicare-card carrying "Old Broad", I decided to make a card for a friend, who is also a Spunky Old Broad.

I've used two of the ladies and the cake/table stamps from the Tea Time Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set by Katzelkraft. The background was created with the Glory Stencil by Lavinia Stamps and Spring Meadow Prism Ink by Hunkydory Crafts.

Here it is!
