Butterflies, Flowers and buttons using Heartfelt Creations & Spellbinders Dahlia

This card is from a card tic tac toe card swap.  I chose the row with butterflies, flowers, and buttons.  I used American Crafts Letterbox Signed paper.  This is the first time I have ever used the Heartfelt Creations stamps and Spellbinders die cut combo!  I have had these forever but was always intimidated by the intricacy of the flowers Heartfelt Creations makes.  I took a class from them once and the flowers were already made for the layout.  I really wanted to see how they go about the process.  But I have finally attempted it after years in a box!  I choose not to layer the flowers because then you could not see all the hard work I put in to stamping the HC Dahlia 2 stamps with Brilliance Pearlescent yellow and embossing them with Ranger Enchanted gold embossing powder! And finally cut with Spellbinders Dahlia.  I really need to see HC again and get the Dahlia 1 set, I hope they still have it!  If I had had the other stamp set, I could have made all the intricate layers I need for the flowers. 
 
 
I sent the best cards for the swap, the two I took pictures of have some mistakes to them.  I don't think they are too bad though.

 
I used a Wilton doilie  as a layer and the flowers are cut and embossed from the reverse of the signed paper.  So the inside (which I forgot to photograph) is the same green with a CTMH sentiment stamped and embossed in the same yellow and gold but on an AC peachy paper that matches.  The sentiment is "sparkle and shine" from November's SOTM Illuminate.  Sorry I didn't take the picture.

 
Pretty yellow buttons and floss.
 
Thanks for reading!
