Want to send a show-stopping card? Then you need the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set!

With hyper-realistic designs of beautiful dahlia florals, this card is sure to wow. You can center the dahlia image as the main focal point for increased impact or place it off to the side to frame one of many versatile sentiments included in this set.

The included outline floral designs also allow you to explore all the coloring techniques your heart desires. This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want.

For this card, I wanted to go with soft colors so here’s the Color Palette I used:

Delicate Dahlia Thank You Colors in Blush & Green

Project Instructions

  1. Fold the Basic White cardstock in half at the score line and burnish well with your Bone Folder.

  3. Adhere the 2-1/2” strip of Be Dazzling Paper to the embossed Petal Pink cardstock.
  4. Wrap approximately 6” of the Petal Pink ribbon around the bottom of the Petal Pink Cardstock (about 1-1/4” up from bottom) and secure to back of Petal Pink Cardstock. Wrap a piece of the Flirty Flamingo ribbon centered over the Petal Pink ribbon and secure in the back.
  5. Adhere the embossed Petal Pink cardstock to the base card.
  6. Using the half sheet of Basic White paper, stamp the large Dahlia using Calypso Coral ink. Using the Light Pale Papaya Blend, color in the entire Dahlia image. Highlight the petals using the Light & Dark Calypso Coral Blends. Add yellow to center of Dahlia using the Light Daffodil Delight Blend. Fussy cut out of the Dahlia using your Paper Snips.
