Distressed Dahlias

I was so pleased when my Papertrey order made it over last week in double quick time - and it didn't get caught at Customs either which was a huge bonus! My Angel must have been watching over me as I also won and unexpected 4 balls on the lotto last week and so that paid for my order!

So in the order were Delightful Dahlia and matching dies and Distressed Stripes. I had lots of fun playing with colours over the weekend and this is what I came up with....

Firstly a mixture of aqua mist, sprin moss and spring rain. The flower was coloured with the aqua mist Copic trio and I cut this flower out rather than die cut it. The sentiment on this card and the next is from Signature Greetings.

Secondly is a combo of lavender moon, spring moss and plum pudding, with the die cut flower coloured in lavender colours and I added some lavender moon buttons.

Before I leave you I thought I would show you how I have stored my Dahlia dies - on a square of sticky backed lightly magnatised sheet - the same way I store my Nestabilities. They are so slim that I can still close the jewel case and have them right at hand when I need them - easy peasy!















I hope you have had a lovely Easter break - many thanks as always for stopping by.
