I have become addicted to Lawn Fawn stamps !! I just LOVE them and I have used the Bake Me a Cake set again :-) ( You can see a Wedding card I made using this set here )

I coloured the image with Copics and decoupaged the bottom tier, and then I used a chalk ink to colour the edges. The papers are Crate Paper from the Neighbourhood paper pad ( I LOVE these ) I used Spellbinders nesties for the circle and stamped lots of little swirls from the stamp set, coloured them and used them to decorate. I used a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Double Loop set to create the border. I stamped some flags using a Hero Arts Friendly Flags stamp set and used some Pink Paislee twine to hang it up.

I also used a Spellbinders Banner Basics to create the bunting on the inside ,, these were stamped with Hero Arts Stamps and coloured with Copics

Close ups :-)
