Saffron is a popular spice in many cultures, and it is derived from a specific flower in the crocus family.
The beautiful Craft-A-Flower: Saffron Die Set honors the lovely saffron flower with its unique red stigma. We have also included four leaves that can be used with either side facing out for more versatility.
Die Dimensions: Cupped Saffron: 2.8" x 2.6" ▪ Open Saffron: 2.8" x 2.6" ▪ Leaf 1: .5" x 4.3" ▪ Leaf 2: .7" x 3.4" ▪ Leaf 3: .4" x 2.9" ▪ Leaf 4: .3" x 2.2" ▪ Leaf 5: .3 x 2.1"
Designer's Tips: Remove the stamen (also known as threads) layer and substitute with three strands of red embroidery floss. This will result in an even more realistic effect!
Try ink blending white cardstock before you die cut, varying the depth and tone. Once the elements are cut, you can further enhance the colors by deepening the center of each petal with additional ink blending.
