Delicate Dahlias

Here is another totally Susie card.

Check out this awesome dis'ink'tive stamp set called- 'Delicate Dahlias'.

It is one of the Sale-a-bration choices that

you can get it FREE with a $100 product order.

I think that this flower is just gorgeous! 

 

There are no dies with this 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set-

so I fussy cut out all of these flowers & leave with my scissors.

But I do like to cut things out though!

If you don't like to fussy cut things out-

 keep on reading & see how you can do the "masking technique".

This is what my card looks like when opened up!

  This a fun accordion z fold card! 

 

The Garden Green DSP is also a Sale-a-bration choice.

It is from the Peaceful Prints 12x12 DSP pack

that is FREE with a $50.00 product order.

I made all of these cards for a swap that I participated in with 

some other demonstrator friends.

You can CLICK HERE to see another card I made with this same fold!

And I used the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set with with it too!

For the flowers I used the Stamparatus so that it was easy to line up

& so that I could mass produce it so much faster!

 

You don't have to fussy cut out this flower.

For this flower I did the "masking technique".

How did I do it?

#1.  Stamp Flower using the Stamparatus.

 

#2.- I used a pink post-it-note, stamped the flower outline onto it 

& then fussy cut it out with scissors.

I put this post-it-note flower directly over the Fresh Freesia flower I stamped.

#3.  I then stamped the leaves.

Notice how I stamped the leaves slightly onto the post-it-note "flower mask".

#4.  This is what the "masking technique" flower looks like when finished.

It is really cool huh!
By doing the stamping with the "masking technique" way- 

it looks like the leaves are behind the flower.

 

Both of the flower/leaves are very pretty!

Which one do you like better?
