The orange mums in our front yard have been in full bloom and they inspired this very large orange flower on my card today.
I cut out the Plentiful Petals die in 2 hues of orange and stuck some foam tape in between each layer for some depth. I added the Layered Leaves in Factory Green card stock and then popped an enamel dot in the center of the flower.
The sentiment from Grand Greetings is stamped in Smoke ink and I cut it out with a Pierced Rectangle STAX and popped everything up over the diagonal striped background there. I wasn't too sure where I was going with this color combo, but I really like it for autumn. The bold orange pop is my favorite thing about this one.
The rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers have more inspiration for you this week. Please stop on over and see:
