Spellbinders Floral Background Tutorial

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I have a new tutorial to share for Spellbinders using some of the new Special Moments Collection by Licensed Designer Marsia Job. In her true style Marisa brings together her signature floral designs and sentiments to help create expression through art.  What great tools we have to make beautiful cards - as you will see as you follow along with the tutorial.
