To purchase the template, please check out my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/pearlpaperf...

The shape of each piece of paper is a rhombuslike shape cut from a 3"x3" square. Your dahlia is going to be just gorgeous using squares so you do not need to create this shape (trust me, it's faster too!).

** I don't know why this bothers me so much but the shape it's not a TRUE rhombus, although I keep calling it one! A rhombus has equal sides, similar to a diamond. I should've probably said KITE shaped! **

I use a shimmery cardstock called "Champagne Pearl" from Michaels link here: https://www.michaels.com/champagnepe...

The paper is PRICY per sheet unless on sale, but you can find a multipack with 50 sheets in it. However, the quality is NOT the same as the 12x12 sheet. Link here https://www.michaels.com/champagnepe...
