I have made a start on my birthday cards that I need to make this year and was really spoilt for choice, as I have quite a few favourites when it comes to these beautiful digital download collections by Opulence by Design Crafts.
One of my favourite things to make has always been flowers and when saw this digital download collection from Amanda Aitken, I fell in love with it straight away. Amanda is a very talented crafter/designer and so much more. She's worked very hard to create a website with all her own designs and collections.
The Breathe collection comprises of 5 x A4 PDF sheets - a mix of backing papers, embellishment/collage sheets, and of course the beautiful Dahlia flowers which are so very detailed and easy to cut out, which is important if you have dexterity issues.
I used kraft card for my base and layered it with rose gold textured mirror card. I quite often carry paper through to the back of the card too. I used one of my Tattered Lace dies for my flowers to sit on.
Between the flowers and the square topper, I inserted a blue heart embellishment from the collection which was heat embossed with clear embossing powder to add some texture.
I also added some variegated green ivy leaves also from Amanda's website, in between the flowers. I just added some glossy accents and some copper nail head embellishments to finish off my card.
I just need to make an envelobox for this card, leaving enough space for the flowers, so that I can be sure they won’t get crushed before I send this card on its way.
Have a great day, whatever you have planned for yourself.
Happy crafting

Oh, this is a gorgeous card! I love the distressed woodgrain background and the layered and shaped blue flowers. They make a perfect focal point with the lovely die cut shapes in the background. I'm going to check this product out via the link you gave :)
