Trio of Definitely Dahlia Cards

This Trio of Definitely Dahlia Cards was inspired by a color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary and a sketch challenge at Sweet Sunday Sketch. I also used the challenge at Use Your Stuff to use Stencils on my project. When I sat down to create a card I was debating way too hard on how to layer the colors and that's why I decided to make a Trio of Definitely Dahlia Cards. I flipped the colors three different directions using the same layout. I love seeing the difference that moving the colors around makes. The colors used include: So Saffron, Delightful Dijon and Night of Navy.

Let me know which card is your favorite arrangement of the challenge colors?

Definitely Dahlia Card

There was a time when large stamps intimidated me! I didn't know what to do with them. When I looked at designs using large stamps, I always loved how they looked and eventually I just went for it. Now I love stamping off to one side and using part of a large image. The new Definitely Dahlia stamp by Stampin' Up! is quite large at a little over 4 inches. The colors for this Definitely Dahlia Card are from the Color Throwdown challenge. I stamped the image in Strawberry Slush and added some leaves from the Birthday Blossoms set using Lucky Limeade. From the Kinda Eclectic stamp set the butterfly was stamped in Crumb Cake. To add some detail I used the large scallop die with Basic Gray cardstock and added some Basic Gray twine. The patterned paper is from the retired Fresh Prints paper stack and the last detail was the addition of three little pearls on the butterfly. Thanks for stopping by!

This Definitely Dahlia Card is entered into the following challenges:
