Well, isn’t this fun 
. This morning’s Technique Lover’s Challenge on SCS was to create a Dahlia flower. The instructions for this fun fold can be found here.
Ok, someone we know is over using her Berry Bliss! LOL. I can’t help myself… it’s just so beautiful! The contrast between the brown and pink on the piece I chose, really makes a dramatic statement. I keep thinking “New Orleans Bordello” when I see this paper.
I used a 1 3/4th inch punch for this flower. It measures approximately 3 inches across when assembled. I would have tried for a smaller circle, but my fingers are fat and it was hard enough for me. Lovin’ how it turned out though. I’d definitely do it again!
Stamps: Seeing Spots, Aida BG (SU!)
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Purely Pomegranate, Berry Bliss DP
Ink: Chocolate chip and Regal rose
Accessories: Chocolate satin ribbon, pink swirl ribbon, pink brads, build a brad, circle punches, dimensionals
TFL!~

Now…. we interrupt your regularly scheduled stamping with this moment of nepotism. I just have to share, because I’m a proud mom! My son, Zachary (known as Zeke) is one awesome guitarist. He is kinda shy and reserved, but has such a wonderful voice (like his father, not his mother!). I just wanted to share this Santeria cover video with you:
If you get a minute to check him out, please do!
Ok, back to stamping!!
