Here is my first project using the Build-A-Garden: Dear Dahlias.
Dahlias bring bright, warm colors to mind for me. The corals and reds that are available at our local greenhouse are some of my favorite. I used a coordinating coral cardstock as the background and layered it with a cover plate die cut in white. The stamped sentiment is part of the Altenew Dear Dahlias collection also.

My second inspiration project is with the Build-A-Garden Rosa Galllica.
I used the larger stamp in the Rosa Gallica (French Rose) set and inked it white with red accents. The plaid cover plate cut in white really pops on the wood background. There's also a fabulous collection of sentiment stamps in this set. I stamped and die cut the word "YOU" and added a smaller sentiment above it.

Vicki, I am going to pin your cards for future ideas. I love both of your creations. There seem to be endless designs that appeal to me with these kits.
Oh Vicki, these are both gorgeous! I'm smitten over the first card!! The colors, the striped background..... everything. I love it! The second card is equally beautiful. I love that you've inspired us twice!!
OH MY STARS!!! Both cards are just gorgeous! Love the coloring & design on card #1 and then as I scrolled down to card #2 I ~gasp~ as the beauty of the coloring on that rose. BEAUTIFUL DT projects that are so so inspiring to me and I'm sure everyone else! Well done my friend! Beautiful write up too!
I've fallen totally in love with the Dahlia set. You've done a beautiful job with it in these very pretty colors. Beautiful blending and love that background die, too. I'm especially loving how you inked the Rose Gallica bloom with just the red. That looks amazing. I'm picking up so many ideas from all of you today!
Beautiful cards and colours are stunning the effect is always great and your card looks beautiful ♥
Gorgeous cards! I especially love those beautiful dahlias!
