Grand Dahlia Birthday

Hello everyone.  I am sharing a floral birthday card made for a crafty friend whose birthday was yesterday.  I used the gorgeous Grand Dahlia layering die set from Altenew (ALT) in her favourite colour red for her card.

The petal layers and leaves were die cut from white paper and ink blended with distress inks (DI).  When done, splattered them with diluted white gouache paint for some texture.  

DI used:
petals - Salwater Taffy, Lumberjack Plaid, Black Soot 
leaves - Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn 
 


Next, embossed a Bristol panel with the Traces of Yesterday 3D embossing folder (EF).  Love how "timeless" (pun intended) and versatile this EF is!  Assembled the card ono a white card base then added a foiled Happy Birthday greeting from Memory Box to finish.

Oh my! Trina, your dahlias are just stunning! Love the texture in the background too and, of course, the splatters. Beautiful! So glad you joined us at Tic Tac Toe challenges. Kerry, DT
