Cupcake Bouquet – Craft Dash #24 (Video)

Hiya, I’m back and have finally had a chance to make a ‘card for fun’.   Things have been so hectic around here that it’s nice to find a few spare minutes and share in one of my fave challenges at the Craft Dash and with such a sweet colour mix I really couldn’t resist.  I’ve been filming a few tutorials in the past couple of days so I thought it was just as easy to film whilst I was creating…  but be warned it took me nearly the whole 10 minutes lol.  Hugs
