Dahlias

Hi everyone! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Dahlia stamps are from Altenew and stamped with Fresh Ink from Impress Stamps. I did spend some time fussy cutting the two flowers and leaves out. The bigger of the two dahlias is popped up using foam squares to give this a bit of dimension.

Thank you sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the square die is from Impression Obsession. I found some pink vellum in my stash and taped it on the back of panel. I love the texture that it adds to the card.

I did spritz this whole card with some frost shimmer spritz but it was really really hard to get it to pick up in the photo. It's subtle but adds that little bit extra. Which is why I'll go ahead and add this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of adding some shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by!
ETA: adding this into the photo challenge over at Allsorts Challenge blog

Very pretty - and lots of fussy cutting. I love the spray shimmer too but it is difficult to photograph - but IRL it is very pretty.
