For my card design I chose to use the beautiful Delicate Dahlias stamp set. This amazing stamp set is so versatile and I love that it has both the line and solid images as well as sentiments. I wanted to create a peaceful design that would be suitable for a sympathy card and I think the Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends Markers help give the Dahlia image a beautiful soft glow against a sepia toned background. The sentiment fits in one of the small tags from the Tailor Made Tags Dies to finish off the design.

Stamped Dahlia and leaves, fussy cut with Paper Snips

This soft and pretty card design was created with the images in the Delicate Dahlia stamp set with the exception of the small background dots, which came from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. I love the way the small floral image and small leaf image, stamped with Early Espresso Classic ink, created the background on the Crumb Cake cardstock layer and I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake Classic ink to create a vintage, sepia look. I added the small dotted background with Crumb Cake Classic ink to give it an aged look that provides a wonderful contrast with the focal Dahlia and leaves images. I stamped the Dahlia and leaves with Early Espresso Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I colored the Dahlia with Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends Combo Pack and the leaves with the Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Stampin' Combo. I fussy cut the images out and attached the Dahlia to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the leaves so that the peek out from under the Dahlia. The sentiment label was stamped with Early Espresso Classic ink and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake Classic ink to give it an aged look to match the card front. I tied a bow with the Linen Thread and attached the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I colored five of the small Basic Pearls with the Dark Papaya Stampin' Blends Marker, adding two to the sentiment label and three to the center of the Dahlia.
