Stampin' Up! Piece of Cake Birthday Card

In the words of my favorite Mary, "Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day!" I could change it to "Horrible Horrible Humidity Day" but we have been spared that this morning...we can see out our windows! Enough about the weather.

Phew, I'm exhausted, aren't you? This was a card that Meg had made as an example for us and it was fun! I feel like the card loosely follows the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches #517. What do you think?
