Dahlia Celebration -- for Dies R Us Challenge Blog

It's April 15. Do you have your taxes done? It was challenging for us this year, but it is accomplished. It's April 15, which also means it's time for a new challenge at Dies R Us Challenge Blog. Challenges are every 1st and 15th of the month, and you must use at least 1 die that Dies R Us sells, plus follow the challenge theme. Today's theme is "Spring Flowers".

Flowers are one of my favorite things of spring (that, and warmer temperatures), so I really liked this theme!

Birch Press Designs are some of my favorite dies, so I jumped at the chance to use one for today's challenge:

This card uses the Dahlia Mini Frame is layers A, B, and C. I cut the Birch Press Designs Dahlia Mini Frame 4 times -- once to get the yellow center, then once for each layer. The Celebrate word die is from Crafter's Companion. The butterfly is by Cheery Lynn. It is one of a set of 3 and comes with an angel wing (used here).

Dies R Us supplies used on this card:

Thank You Heart Card

I'm posting today on the Dies R Us Inspiration blog. I love it when I have a chance to create with dies as the focus. It gives me a chance to stretch my creative wings a bit.

Do you ever take advantage of the pre-orders and specials offered through the Dies R Us Store? There are some awesome things to take advantage of! I recently discovered Birch Press Designs during one of these pre-order events. These dies are awesome! Be watching for them!

I used all 3 layers of the Birch Press Designs Amour Arch to create this:

I used 3 different shades of pink -- a light pink, mauve, and eggplant to create the layered arch. I was concerned it might be difficult to line up, but I lined up the 2 small hearts on the outside, and that lined up the whole thing. It was really easy! I glued all the layers together using Scraperfect Best Glue Ever and the medium No Clog Writing Cap.

The sentiment I used is by Crafter's Companion, but is similar to this one, by Poppy Stamps. I like the look of sentiments that are die cut, then have a shadow layer behind them. I used Stick It Adhesive Sheets on the sentiment and the layer behind it.

I added some Liquid Pearls to the card for a little more Bling. Dies R Us carries many great colors of Liquid Pearls. The ones on this care are White Opal.

Here's a picture of all the supplies I used. You can see what the package of the Birch Press Amour Arch dies look like.
