Looking through a magazine tonight I saw instructions to make this dahlia and remembered this challenge. The dahlia is made using a heart punch and it wasn't as easy or as quick as it sounded, but it's done. The little flowers are of course a no-no as they are made from flower punches. Centers are shiny brads. The flourishes are Tim Holtz dies. Leaves are 'punch bunch'. Hopefully this is ok since the main flower isn't from a 'flower' punch?

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
