I was inspired by the vellum dahlia fold flowers that I viewed when researching this technique to show samples to my class. Hope you enjoy.
Make a frame of 1/2" wide Creamy Caramel strips. Use 3/8" wide strips to basket weave a trellis fence. Punch out vellum for dahlia fold. Allow extra circles for the buds. Blush edges with Rose Red to add extra color. Punch large leaves with small oval punch. Blush with Going Green. Punch star shaped flower from the spring boquet punch and cut apart petals to form small leaves. Use the daisy from the spring boquet punch as center of the dahlia flower and adhere with a barely banana brad. Punch small daisy and use the 1/4" circle punch to punch out Yo-Yo Yellow centers. Use the Spiral punch for vines.

This is without a doubt one of the Top 3 nicest dahlia fold cards I've seen and I've seen alot of them cuz I've been looking thru all the galleries for ideas using them. Yours was SO nice I had to come back and comment. Thank you for sharing!
