Simple Stamping with Delicate Dahlias

You may want to imagine these dahlia images as dinner plate-sized blooms—because that’s how big some varieties grow in real life. They add instant beauty to any garden landscape with their candy colors, and because these flowers bloom into September in the Northern hemisphere, they can be stamped with abandon to create cards in warm autumn tones. 

This month’s “simple stamping” projects were a cinch!

  • Du inspirierst mich Card: Stamp the line art flower multiple times to create a fantastic, intricate-looking background pattern.
