Dahlia Birthday

Hi everyone.  Today's card is a lovely bouquet of flowers (Dahlia Bunch - Pinkfresh Studio), with matching die.  I stamped in black ink onto mixed media paper and watercolour using my Zig markers.  It was fun to pull them out ... I haven't used them very much lately.

I die-cut the image and added it over a panel embossed with the Vine Canopy embossing folder (SSS).  To finish I added a simple sentiment banner using a retired stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Close-up ...
Sending this card to a few challenges:
1) Darnell's IDEAS Sept. Challenge - Anything Goes.  First time using my Zigs after a LONG break. :)
3) Just Us Girls #745 - Mood Board.  So happy to be playing along.  I don't get to play very often because of the short timeframe for the challenges, but this just worked out perfectly.  Thanks for the fabulous mood board challenge Ina!!

  24. Very impressive card, Loll. I love how you combined the watercolor flowers with this amazing embossed background. I love the way you colored these dahlias. The deeper color on the bottom of the petals and the circle becomes more transparent as you get closer to the end. The details make these flowers look stunning. Excellent work, my dear Loll.
    hugs,
