FTL #102 and OTWC #19

I absolutely love the colors this week from the OTWC challenge: yellow, pink and green.  As always, the inspiration photo is fabulous.  I also thought I'd combine this challenge with the FTL for this week.
At first I was going to use some teacups from the Tea for Two Additions set.  But then, I saw my Delightful Dahlia and was inspired.  I haven't used this set in a little while, so I pulled it out for the challenge.  I thought it would be perfect with the leaves in place of the small circles for the sketch.
Usually I either stamp the dahlias in color on white, or color them in using copics or a blender pen.  This time I thought I'd try something I've seen elsewhere and stamp and emboss them on colored paper.  This made for a  very simple, elegant card.  I added some frames around the dahlias with the Vintage Labels set.  The sentiment is from Damask Designs.
