More Dahlia Cards

I hope to not bore you with all these Dahlia cards, but they are SO fun to do.

I made 4 more this evening and here they are




I used the Carousel Notes from the 2008 Occasions Mini and made separate buds. I made 7 of the dahlia folds and put in the smaller flowers and three in the middle flower. I then used the smaller circle punch (1 1/4") and used Certainly Celery Designer Prints and made little stems.

Card Stock: Wild Wasabi Carousel Note, Ginger Blossom Designer Printer, Certainly Celery Designer Print. Whisper White
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Groovy Guava (butterfly)

Those are just fabulous! I have tried that fold many times with no success at all and now I am content with seeing what everyone else does with it. I really love what you did with it!

Thank you Jackie - if you try practicing on a bigger circle, it helps. I'm SO in love with this technique!!
