As are all of the Build-A-Flower subscription sets, the Fashion Monger Dahlia is a layering stamp set comprised of a bloom outline and 5 layer stamps, two different leaf images with layers, plus 4 sentiment stamps.
To create my card, I stamped the outline images onto watercolor cardstock and heat set with gold embossing powder. You’ll notice on a couple of the leaves, I brushed some embossing powder off to make a more incomplete stamped outline.
Next, I chose just one of the layering stamps (the leaves have just one) inked it up, and misted it with water before stamping down. After letting that dry, I added a diluted shade of that same ink with a brush to fill in the shapes a little more.
After letting the first layer dry, I added a little more color to the base of the flower petals to give it some shade and definition.
For the sentiment, I stamped the “with” and “from me” from the BAF Dahlia set, and combined them with the Love Script Word die, die cut several times – once from gold cardstock and twice from white cardstock, so that I could stack them up.
I painted a pale blue wash on a watercolor card panel then embossed with the Spring Blossoms 3D embossing folder, attempting to get an impression only on the bottom left corner, leaving the area flat where I adhered the flower and leaves.
The leaf on the right, hanging over the edge will need to be trimmed to fit in an envelope, but I thought it looked pretty for photos so I left it for now.
