Heartfelt Creations - Blooming Dahlia

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for more inspiration with Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a card using the Blooming Dahlia Set.

Click on photo for a better view

The large and small dahlia blooms are 2 separate stamps from the set that I combined together and the leaves are stems from the Open Leaf Set.  I stamped these all on white card stock, colored with pencils, fussy cut the flowers and die cut the leaves with the new matching die.  I wanted the beauty of the flowers to stand out, so I placed them on a white background with a little embossed border on the bottom, a lace bow and some pearls.


Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!

Blessings!
