Gold Red Tipped Mum Basket

Today I attempted to replicate a beautiful bouquet of golden Chrysanthemums with the crimson tips we all see every Fall.  It is always tempting to purchase these beautiful mums and take them home to enjoy.  Last week, I posted purple ones that reminded me of my past in Missouri but today, these also bring back memories of those mums I planted around foundation of my house up there.  We can purchase beautiful mums in Texas but their longevity is much shorter in this warmer Fall climate.  But today, when I stamped this card using Kitchen Sink Multi Sept Clear Stamp Set, Harvest and  Words 4 Celebration Clear stamp, I wanted to see if I could recreate the same color of one of my favorite mums!  I hope you will enjoy it!
