Pink Dahlia Happy Birthday Cardmaking Project by Glynis Bakewell
Today's project is this pretty pink dahlia flower Happy Birthday card made by the talented Glynis. The Dahlia Stamp Set creates both a delicate and intricate patterned background for this layered greetings card and we've used our favourite WOW Metallic Gold Embossing Powder to pick out the flower's petals.
Fun fact: Did you know that the dahlia flower is the symbol of change, making it the perfect addition to mark a milestone age or occasion.
