Dahlias are beautiful flowers, and the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set has some wonderful images. What’s really great is that this stamp set is one of the FREE Sale-a-bration items you can choose with a qualifying order!
The stamps I used on today’s card are described by Stampin’ up! as “Distinktive,” meaning “they create different opacities in a single stamped image.” I stamped the large flower in Mango Melody Ink, and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used my Paper Snips for cutting, and placed them on Dimensionals.

“Distinktive” Dahlia
For the background, I chose a piece of In Good Taste Designer Paper, cut with a Scalloped Contours Die. This was raised on Dimensionals atop a layer of Neutrals 6X6 Designer Paper in Sahara Sand. I cut this layer a spec smaller than the Sahara Sand card front (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) to insure it didn’t hang over the edge.
I used the same, In Good Taste Designer Paper, for the sentiment, which I stamped in Early Espresso Ink, and cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die. “Let’s celebrate you!” is from the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set.
Everything was attached to a Sahara Sand card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″), and my Delicate Dahlias celebration (Sale-a-bration) card was complete. I already have ideas for more cards using this fabulous set.
I was inspired by the Paper Players, and chose feminine, birthday, florals.
