Regarding Dahlias

Oh…I do LOVE this set!  The flower is just sooo striking!  I’m really having fun playing with this set and it’s one of the sets being featured on Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection 2013.  My FAVORITE thing to do with this set is to emboss it with Black Embossing Powder and then color it in!  The Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge was perfect for using this image!

The base of the card if Strawberry Slush.  I too a piece of Pistachio Pudding dsp, added some of the fun Pistachio Pudding Stretch Ruffled Ribbon behind it then added to the card front.  I added a thin strip of Strawberry Slush cardstock across is.  Next I stamped the Dahlia in Versamark on Whisper White, black embossed then colored in using Strawberry Slush marker and a blender pen.  This is layered on Pistachio Pudding then added using dimensionals.  I stamped the greeting with versamark, black embossed, punched with the Artisan punch then did another one in Strawberry Slush, cut in half, layered behind then added using dimensionals.  I added some Basic Rhinestones for just a touch of bling!

Well lookie there…I actually followed the sketch pretty closely!  I know you want to play join us and we’d love to have you play along!  Don’t forget to check out the other members of the team and remember go to the Technostamper blog to play along!
