Delicate Dahlia's Fun Fold Card

 Hi and welcome to my blog,

Today's post is all about using the lovely Delicate Dahlia's stamp set from Stampinup.

I have made a few cards using Versamark ink and the Soft Pastel set from Stampinup in the current catalogue 2021-22

card size 

base - 9.1/4" x 5.1/2"

scored at 1.1/2", 2.3/4", 6.1/2", 7.3/4"top mat - 4" x 5.1/4"

Fresh freesia base mat - 4.1/2" x 5.1/2"

side panels - 1.1/4" x 5.1/2" you need 2

back panel - 3.1/2" x 5.1/4"  to write on

scrap for sentiment

After shaving off some of the soft pastel chalk into a paint pallet, I stamped the large dahlia flower with Versamark ink and then using a finger dauber to gently rub over the stamped image to apply the shaved pastel, the more pastel you use the darker the flower will become, continue stamping one image at a time as the versamrk will start to dry out and you wouldn't see where you had already stamped or that's what I've found.

For this card Ive used night of navy, coastal cabana, granny apple green, mossy meadow and a pink from my own sets of Pastels chalks from when I was painting a long while ago.

For the card below I used daffodil delight, poppy parade in the centres of the dahlias, the leaves are as above.

the 2 cards below Ive used Quiet Meadow stamp set for the flowers and Beautiful Friendship for the leaves

It has been fun to make these cards and to play with something that is different.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you like my little project/s.
