Watercolor: Happy Birthday - Dahlia

So am back at to trying out these new Dahlia stamps and while this ended up being almost exactly like my first attempt I still like it. I really was trying for a peach color since I actually was inspired by some Dahlias I had purchased a while ago that are beautiful peach tone. Alas epic fail because I didn't mix in in pink so just have a more yellow and orange coloring.

I really struggled this night. Every time I picked up a stamp I seemed to drop it on my already stamped card thus leaving an unwanted stamped image. I finally got this one down and walked away. Sometimes it doesn't pay to keep trying.

Happy Birthday - Altenew Dahlia

If your a regular reader than you know I recently ordered some new Altenew stamps. One set was these Dahlias. I love the flowers themselves and these stamps of course because they are one of the most stunning flower I have ever seen. Ironically my mother doesn't care for them because she thinks they are just too perfect looking.

I played around a bit with using multiple colors. Seen here you have a orange, red, coral and yellow. Although I didn't care for the yellow that much so its not very prominent. Not sure how I feel about the color choices I made overall but didn't want to waste the card panel so I went ahead and made it into a card.

Certainly won't be giving this card to my mother for her birthday, since she not only doesn't like dahlias she doesn't like orange either, who knew.
