The story is told that an early missionary to SE Alaska really missed dandelions so she had a friend send her dandelion seeds to plant in Alaska. What was she thinking?????!!!!! Alaska dandelions are huge! Just look at this clump. I haven&#39;t measured the diameter of one of them but I would estimate it is at least 1 1\/2&quot; across!<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"\/images\/old\/6a0105356bc651970c01901c011149970b-pi.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dandelions 2\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a0105356bc651970c01901c011149970b\" src=\"\/images\/old\/6a0105356bc651970c01901c011149970b-320wi.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Dandelions 2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the card, I used the greeting from the E<strong>aster Blossoms<\/strong> stamp brush set and the tulip blossom from the <strong>Convention 2011 Designer Template<\/strong>. I dropped the opacity of the tulip to 80% and the <strong>Convention 2012 Photobook Template <\/strong>&#8211; Curvy Frame Label to 60% . The mat around the photo was colored using the <strong>color picker<\/strong> to match one of the colors of tulips in the photo.Both of the convention designer templates are currently on sale for 25% off. As you can see, they are not just for creating scrapbooks. They are filled with tons of wonderful things to use for cards and 3-D items as well.
