RSCC#21 take 1

 Hi everyone, how is your holiday, hope all is good. I had a wonderful one.
It's been forever since the last time I post. I've been really sick for a while and I miss crafting so much.
Also, I am getting ready for my trip back home, Taiwan. It's a 6 weeks long vacation and I won't be able to take any challenge but I will keep posting of some projects that I've been working really hard.

Made this card for Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21,
This is my first try making poofy flower and this is inspired by Dawn McVey's tutorial here. She made a wonderful video how to make the flower. I used tissue paper instead because I don't have a beautiful vintage paper on hand.
