On this, the final day of Sale-A-Bration (August-September 2021 version), I just had to post another card using Delicate Dahlias. My first thought on seeing this stamp set was how I might create chrysanthemums, instead of dahlias.
I bought mums several weeks ago, beautiful plants full of unopened buds that I nurtured in hopes they would open in October. One of the plants has flowers similar to this color.
I was almost dreaming about what this card could look like, and I finally went with the “outline” stamp in embossed gold powder. As you can see, it was tricky to work with (really challenging to align), but I was quite thrilled with the overall result.
I didn’t want to take anything away from the flowers, so I kept the sentiment simple. The overall effect is Asian, I think, and I feel that I might have once had a blouse or something in a similar pattern.
Anyway, I can put this design out of my head and get a good night’s sleep tonight!
