Card Details
The star of today’s project is the Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set, which creates beautifully dimensional flowers with surprisingly little effort. To make the blooms really pop, I blended multiple shades of yellow, orange, and pink inks onto the die-cut layers before assembling them.
For the background, I used the Stone Wall Press Plate to add texture and interest without distracting from the floral focal point. The combination of letterpress texture, layered flowers, vibrant ink blending, and dimensional die cutting helps create a card that feels both elegant and bold.
To finish the design, I added a sentiment from the Stylish Greetings Die Set along with a few Crystal Clear Enamel Dots for extra shine and detail.
