Purple Dahlia

Good day to all...  Its afternoon here in the sunshine state and a bit on the warmer side for so early in the year but we will survive.  Love the warm hate the cold.  

Today I am posting a Dahlia from Poppy Power.  The have a challenge going that is "Go big Go Bold"  so my choice is the beautiful Dahlia that is about 3/12 inches in diameter.  I chose a back ground stamp stamped in gray for a background.  I added the sentiment in Photoshop so it was already on there when I printed it.  I took the background off the Dahlia so I could put it on top of the background in Photoshop as well.  I added some gems to it but didn't want to add to much to take away from the focal point with should be the flower. This flower was colored with Copics and it took me about 2 hours to do.  My favorite flower is the Dahlia and I did my best to make it look like one I had in my yard when I lived up North. I sure hope you like it as much as I do.

I would like to invite anyone here checking out my image to join the challenge over at Poppy Power and to check out there shop if you love flowers as much as I do you will be so happy to find them.  The Challenge is here: and you can find the shop here:  So come on down and play along to have a chance to win some wonderful digi's of your choice. They also sell rubber and acrylic stamps if that is your thing.  Me I prefer digital most of the time.
