I used Gina K inks in yellows and oranges on this 3 piece stencil set to create this Dahlia, and even though I know Dahlia's are more of a Summer flower than Fall, they do come in gorgeous shades of yellows and oranges that to me say Autumn! I used an old retired background stamp from SU! called En Francais and Crumb Cake ink to stamp over my Dahlia, and then trimmed off a small portion on an angle at the bottom before adhering to a top folding white card base. I added a very thin strip of Crumb Cake cs along the diagonal cut, and then stamped " HAPPY BIRTHDAY" twice along the thin strip using The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Birthday stamp set. I finished with a Sparkling Champagne Pearl from PFS between the stamped sentiment. Very simple card, but I love the way it turned out!

Oh, stop! This is unbelievably exquisite! That dahlia, sigh.. The script stamp is in my collection and it is truly elegant. I'm swooning, Marcia!
Ooo - love the dahlia over the text, Marcia!!
I think dahlias and mums look so much alike and I definitely think this is one AWESOME card, Marcia! Gorgeous fall shades and stenciling!
Wow! Love your beautiful flower, Marcia, and the francais script is a perfect touch too! This is just one amazing card
