More Dahlias

I don't know if I've said this before, but Regarding Dahlias is probably my favorite stamp set, ever.  Every time I need to make a card, it is my go-to stamp set.  Each time I make a card with the set, I think I'm going to make 20 more of this same card, change the greeting, and use them for the year.  But each time I sit down with the set, I come up with something new.   Which is probably why I can't keep a stash on hand.  Such a vicious cycle, lol.   So, here are the latest cards I made with this set.

This card uses Very Vanilla card stock.  The flower is stamped in Cajun Craze and cut out.  I used some designer series paper, Modern Medley to make the bands.

I wish I could take credit for the idea of this card, but I can't.  I found this card on Meg Loven's web-site (click here).  My card is not exactly like hers, but I totally cased the effect of the flower.  The Dahlia is stamped 3 times and cut out.  Each flower is cut a little smaller and a lot different than the other.  They are then covered in Crystal Effects.  I allowed them to dry overnight and then stacked them together with a stamping dimensional.  I love the 3-D effect of this card.  I was just fussing about not having any Valentine's Day stamps but I think this card would work quite nicely for that.  And I only need a couple anyway.  I cannot wait to make more and change the colors!
