Yesterday I shared these cards using the delightful Dahlia Garden digital stamp from Fred She Said Designs, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make some CAS cards coloured with Copic markers.  You can read all about them HERE or by clicking on the image below.

Today I had the opportunity to work with the delightful Dahlia Garden COL
pre-coloured digital stamp set from Fred She Said Designs and so much fun creating a set of cards.

*** WARNING ***
lots of pretty cards and lots of photos ahead

This set of pre-coloured flowers and leaves is an absolute delight to
work with, so many lovely shades to layer in endless combinations
... a total of 45 different images to work with ... WOW!
I've only used two from this floral rainbow.

I opened the images in Silhouette Studio and layered different ones together to create the image panels for a set of "Thinking of you" cards.  Font details are linked below.  Some were printed on white cardstock, trimmed and scored to make quick single layer cards 5" square and 7" x 5".  The next set of cards were made by matting the image panels and layering to make 6 1/4" square and 7" x 5" panels cards.  I matted the panels on to the same white cardstock then adhered them to card bases, the extra layer was because the "whites" were too different.

The orange flowers are the "Burnt Orange Big Dahlia",
the leaves are the "Dahlia Garden Leaf Left".

and the yellow flowers are the "Yellow Mignon Dahlia", the leaves
"Dahlia Garden Leaves Right" and the buds "Dahlia Garden Buds".

There is one lucky last card that finishes off the set.

On first look it appears CAS but the there are eight, yes EIGHT, layers on the flower.  I created a 7" x 5" card front using the "Burnt Orange Big Dahlia" and the "Dahlia Garden Leaf Left".  As well as the card front, I printed off eight of the dahlia flowers, fussy cutting each one smaller and smaller then layering them on top of each other.  I only remembered to take the photo after I adhered the first flower to the card, oops.
