Done for my MIL's 70th Bday. 6" ball for flower, 12" base, gumpaste petals and butterfly. Original design by Lindy Smith (cant wait for her new book to come out in August!!!).
Thanks for all of the kind words! The most time consuming part was the butterfly construction and painting (I started that a week prior to her Bday). It was a lot of fun to do!
