Project 2: Cupcakes & Carousel

Today I am sharing Project 2 from the Stampin' Sister's Retreat.  I can't believe that this was only a week ago.  It feels like it came and went so fast!  It was so much fun and I have so many great projects to show!

I completely overlooked this kit!  I never even gave it a second thought.  The circus theme was not really my thing until this weekend when we got to play with this kit.  It is adorable!  Here's a little tip: use glue dots for your sequins!  I love the finetip glue, but glue dots were awesome for the sequins!  

Featured Item: Cupcake & Carousel Embellishment Kit

The card base is Bermuda Bay with layers of So Saffron and Cupcakes & Carousels DSP Stack.
