Really lovely pics on the Inspiration site! I was inspired by THIS.
For my card, after stamping & coloring, I die cut the dahlias, using my out of the box technique on the left side. The matching dies will let you cut out the flower heads separately, but since I already had them arranged, I did this way so I could have them still part of the white panel. For the black dotty panel, I wanted some black & white paper but didn't have any that was just right. So..I took a piece of black & embossed it w/ folder that has 2 sizes of dots. Then I took out my Japanese screw punch & used 2 sizes of bits to drill out the embossed dots. Having the pattern already embossed, made it really easy & quick (I have a pic showing this on my blog).
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copic colors & links: The Write Stuff

This is such a beautiful flower, I love the dahlia flower, and its color is made even more vibrant with the white and the black and white patterned paper below which is so smart, as the patterned paper ads texture but it also makes the pinks and greens just pop. Stunning!!! Favorited.

I love your card better than your inspiration! The out of the box flower over that black and white is really wow! You also used the slimline design profile to the best possible advantage!

I love the color of your flowers Julie!! Your leaves look so clean on the white. The polka dotted paper is just the right amount to spice up your design. You have made another beautiful card!! :>)

The tall shape is wonderful with those dahlias. The bold pink of the inspiration pillows you chose works so well for the flowers!!
