It’s time for the next Build-A-Flower set from Altenew and this one is Dahlia. We are hopping along to celebrate the release so you should have arrived here from LAURA’s A.maZing Blog!
This set is yet another ‘classic’ stamp design from Altenew that is perfect for a floral card for any occasion, whether stamp layered or coloured and today I chose to colour with the Watercolor Brush Markers.
I have a video showing how this card came together scroll down to find the link.
I decided Jet Black Ink Spray splatters were needed. And I also added one of the Circled Sentiments.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Beautifully colored Therese! I must say I enjoy watching you color and you have the perfect soft spoken voice to listen to. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Beautiful card! Thank you for sharing!!!
I’m not really a “blue” person, I don’t use the color very often but these blues are just lovely.I also like the way you toned down the leaf color.
great contrast on the card with the black outline and coloured image over top, very striking

Beautiful card! I love how you did your background and popped up your dahlia. Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty card. I like how you grouped the outline florals. I also appreciate the video showing your watercolor technique. I have ZIG markers and am not happy with what I’m producing so I think this may help.
Another amazing floral stamp set from Altenew and a beautiful card from you Therese. The blue flower is so pretty and I totally agree with you about the third green on the leaves. Lovely.
Ver pretty. I like the outline flowers brings your attention to the colored one.
I love your card creations and Altenew floral designs. I can’t have them all(well, in a perfect world) LOL, but I get so much inspiration from you and others on these great blog hops. Thanks for the tips. 🙂

Your card is beautiful! I love the blue colors.
The use of the uncolored flowers as a background really makes the colored flower stand out. Beautiful card.

The sentiment on your card says it all…so beautiful!

Therese, I like the way you showcased the dahlia by coloring only one against the cluster of outlined images. tfs
I love the blue flower against the pale gray backdrop. Just gorgeous!
I love the blue flower against the pale gray background. Just gorgeous! The speckles add the right amount of contrast and detail.
Just gorgeous Therese. Such a simple but stunning layout. Beautifully coloured and blended. My favourite way to watercolour is with a water brush. Pretty hopeless otherwise.
Loving all the beauty of this card. So many helpful details that make this card so elegant. Altenew designs the most wonderful floral images.
So thankful for your generosity in sharing.
Cheers
Lisa
This is so nice. The blue against the light background makes the dahlia stand out well. Thanks.
Stunning!
Love your Dahlia cards. They’re beautiful.
Stunning coloring! I love the blue!
Beautiful card!
Loved it as usual….I chuckled when I heard you use the US pronunciation of dahlia…..had just given Laura some cheek and said the Aussie pronunciation usually stresses the day first syllable…..then the Aussie on board makes a lia out of me… love it.
I tried the big Altenew flower and used all the blue greens of the watercolour brushes and was more impatient than you and lived to regret it!….day 29 of daily marker. So too late to worry
My pronunciation may be because I am originally from Victoria?? But generally I find that even though Australia is such a large country the accent is fairly similar all round, often it’s just a few words that sound different or have a different meaning. When I lived in the UK in Bristol you could tell which side of town people came from by their accent! Hope you have a fabulous day, Hugs Therese
That little zing of color on a neutral background really makes this!
Perfect as always !
I love the line drawing look backgrounds with the pop of color die cut on top.
Thanks for the great video showing us how to watercolor the beautiful flower and leaves! You make it look so simple. Love your card design with the outlines and just one flower with color. Thanks for sharing!
Love the flower set!! Oh your card is so SWEEt and COOL!!!
What fun watercoloring!! Love your blue flower and the background!
Absolutely gorgeous set! Love your card Therese, the color combo is very pretty!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful! I love the idea of pairing the circled sentiments with this set. I also love the color combination of the blue with the neutral background. Helps the Dahlia to really stand out. Thank you!
Lovely card! The watercolored dahlias are so pretty.
Another absolutely beautiful card Terase. I just love your creations you make and look forward to next
Absolutely gorgeous card!!! I wish I had an eighth of your talent!! Dahlias are my favorite flowers!!! I love the color combo you used too. Fabulous. Thanks for sharing!! Big Hugs!!
Gorgeous card. I love how one-third of your card is black and white dahlia’s and that your colored the center one in shades of blue. Your designs are always beautiful. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
Thanks for sharing your lovely card using the new Altenew Dahlia build a flower stamp set. Like the contrast you have in this card. It’s gorgeous.
Your coloured flower is so pretty and delicate Therese. The plain stamped flowers and splatters makes the perfect background to showcase the leading lady! Thanks so much for your wonderful inspiration!
Stunning Therese. Love the way you coloured this one.
Beautiful card. So enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card, you make water coloring look so easy.
Love the ease of the waterbrush markers on this beautiful dahlia image. My mum used to have dahlias in her garden, brings back fond memories. Love the use of silhouette flowers in the background. TFS.
Lovely card Therese, your watercoloring is amazing.
Thank you for sharing.

Maria Rodriguez.
So elegant Therese! I am in love with the Altenew water colour brush markers at the moment, they are so easy to use. Thank you for sharing.

You are so incredibly talented!
So pretty love the Altenew flowers have several sets
I’m a subscriber to your u-tube channel, i just finished watching your shading technique. I love the shading of flower and the splatter adds a special touch.
Spotlighting a single bloom on the gray background is so stunning with the black outline prints behind it!
You picked the perfect sentiment. Your card is so beautiful. I love the way you colored the images and enjoyed watching the process. Your layout is fantastic!
I love how you used the clean, uncolored stamps for a background and then the vibrant blue flower was popped up. Man! Spot on beautiful!
Pretty watercoloring – I love how much the shading adds to the total effect.
So beautiful, Therese. The shading is wonderful.
Beautiful card. I love the ‘spotlight ‘ technique so your lovely watercolored dahlia pops. It is always fun to watch your videos and hear your comments.
Love your watercolored Dahlia. It’s beautiful against the simple background.
Stunning clean card design! Love the spotlight coloring.
luv the look of the w/c flower over the black and white images! so pretty!
Love the watercolor look in your cards!!!!
Oooh’s and aaah’s here for another beautiful flower. Love your card inspiration!
Wow Therese!! Spectacular card!! At first glance your Dahlia appeared to be layered. The dimension you created with the addition of the Jet Black is amazing. The Moss over the leaves created beautiful coloring. Love it!!
Your design and ingenuity are amazing. Hey I didn’t copy and paste my reply here. You are truly an inspiration, Therese. You make the process look so seamless that even a beginner (me) can attempt this. Thanks again for sharing your talent and originality.
Gosh, Therese, I love your beautiful card! I’ve not used the watercolor brushes, but your video is SO informative. I think I could learn how to use them. Thanks!
Gorgeous card. I think the deep shadows from the jet black really make the flower come to life. Thanks for sharing your card with us! I always get a smile from your videos.
Yet another beautiful card, Therese! You always make great cards. Always inspired by your creations.This Dahlia layering set is just stunning!
Great colouring and beautiful card design Therese. I’m yet to try a build-a-flower set. Thanks.

Beautiful. I like the color of the flower and the background.
Just like your card says – SO beautiful! Love watching your videos – very inspiring & just plain fun! I am also just crazy about the Altenew build-a-flower stamp sets!
How pretty! Using the stamp as both a background and the focal point makes this card so interesting.
Love your card, great color!
Loved your video! And your card is amazing… 🙂
I could watch you watercolor all day!
Thanks for the beautiful inspo!! Dahlias are one of my favorite flowers and teal is my favorite color!!!
OMG, Therese, I had to watch your video because by looking at your card I could have sworn the petal layers of the painted Dahlia were layered with foam tape. Your coloring, and then the shading is so spot-on perfect, you fooled my eyes. Awesome job!
Beautiful card. I am new to card making and just love the look watercolored florals!
An awesome project and I love the dahlia color! So pretty. I need to try to colour more flowers blue. It is so pretty when you do it. 🙂 hopefully mine will turn out good too. I need to try it on the Bristol. After my last fail, I am afraid to watercolour again! Looking forward to seeing your video, you always are so funny when you craft! Love it!
simply stunning! Thank you for the inspiration on using this build a flower set!
Beautiful card!
Lovely card! I love the spotlight coloring!

Beautiful card, Therese! Love the colors.
Thanks so much for sharing…
Beautiful card. I love the style and the coloring is gorgeous. That dahlia is stunning.
I was intrigued by the mix of black outline background with the single colored die cut of the bloom/leaves. I think I need to try that when my stamp set arrives. I especially liked the choice of a blue flower.
Therese, I love your design with the outline stamped background and then the soft blue flower layered on top! This is so pretty. A gorgeous new stamp set!
Love how you get such different looks from one stamp set! TFS!
Such a lovely card – the blue against the neutral background works so well.

Lovely , elegant card. Can’t wait to try a build a flower stamp set.
I always love watching your videos because I always learn something new! What a beautiful card! (If this is a duplicate post, sorry but the first post didn’t go through)
I love Altenew’s Watercolor Brushes. I find I use them more than anything else. They are fabulous. The colors are gorgeous. I love how you used them with this BAF. Your card is gorgeous!!
The particular colored paper that you used combined with the black splatters provides the perfect background to the raised flower which is beautifully colored!!! Inspiring!
I love the simplicity look to your card. Beautiful use of the flower. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful card – thanks for sharing love listening to you as you work.
That is quite inspired, love the monochrome background and the turquoise flower. Very pretty.
Such a pretty card. Love color for the flower.
The shading you did is amazing. I thought you might have layered separate pieces! Love the design with just one bloom colored!
The pop of color with the black and white outlines is a very dramatic and beautiful look, Therese. Just gorgeous!
I love that look where you only color in 1 image. It looks so classy!
Gorgeous card – I love the combination of the bright blue on the light brown, and the simple black stamped outlines make such a nice contrast to the bright dimensional bloom – love it!
Love how you created this beautiful floral card!
Simply beautiful card. Love the colors – these watercolor markers are on my wish list. You make it so easy to use.
This is sooo pretty, Therese!
Hello Theresa! Love your work. Especially the the non-colored prints below the colored one – It’s a fabulous presentation. It almost looks like it is on canvas – and it appears an ivory color – was this the pale gray card stock? It really looks different. Thanks for the inspiration! Denise
hi Denise, Yes it is the pale gray cardstock. My apologies but was an overcast day and I think that may have affected the tone on the photo, it seems to bring out the warmness of the Altenew Pale Gray. Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Crafty hugs, Therese
Your card is beautiful and I always enjoy your videos! I also love the “print” look in the background with the wonderful teal blue colors! Thank you for the inspiration!
I love how you bought the flower to the foreground out from the background- an Idea I have to try,
thanks!
Hi Therese 🙂 Lovely, lovely card!!! Soooooo much depth that I could’ve reached right out and plucked it! A wee disappointed that you awarded early, but a lovely card nonetheless! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Hi Connie, So glad to hear that you like my card! I would not like you to think that I did award early and you missed out, but I have it noted on the post that I use AEST which is Australian Eastern Standard time and I was actually a day late this time lol. But, maybe next time. Thanks so much for visiting and for your lovely comments today. Crafty hugs, Therese
