I recently bought the gorgeous Regarding Dahlias stamp set, and decided the lovely bloom would be perfect for this challenge. I inked the dahlia in Versamark, and used white embossing powder, on Crumb Cake card. My rather neglected Prismacolor Pencils came off the shelf, and I had a lovely time colouring the dahlia with the pencils and mineral spirits (to blend). I then fussy-cut the flower, to sit atop a background of subtly stamped dahlias.

Wow Christine, what a beautiful card and fantastic fussy cutting! The background stamped with the same stamp in craft white adds nice, yet subtle, detail. Really nicely done!!
