I used these pretty Calla Lilies that I already had in my UFO box. They were watercoloured yellow and I didn't end up using them several months ago, so pulled them out and went over the yellow with Aged Mahogany and then a layer of Wilted Violet. In the end, I think it's a pretty good shade of burgundy.
Simple CAS card with fussy-cut flowers, stamped sentiment and a little sponging to ground the flowers.

The lilies look beautiful in burgundy, Loll. They really pop on the white background, so eye-catching!
Stunning.

BEAUTIFUL card Loll and I love how you turned yellow Calla Lily's into Burgundy ones!! And what a beautiful shade of Burgundy too! I'm also a little partial to Calla Lily's as our youngest daughter's name is Calla! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
well your yellow to burgundy turned out beautifully, Loll!
What an incredible job you did creating burgundy from yellow. This is amazing and sure do wish someone would make that color ink. I've looked for years for it. Beautiful coloring and I love the white embossing with this. I never knew Calla Lillies were anything but white.
Gorgeous card x
What a lovely card!!
Love that rich shade of burgundy! I didn't know there were burgundy calla lilies either! Good for you for mixing those colours and coming up with a true burgundy!
Oh my gosh, your Calla Lilies are absolutely gorgeous, Loll! I love how you created the burgundy color for the flower petals and how beautiful they look with yellow and green! Such a lovely CAS design, too...WOW!
It's a beautiful card and you mixed a gorgeous colour! I really love that shade :-) No, I didn't know there are burgundy calla lilies - intriguing.

I didn't know Callas came in that color either, Loll, but they sure are beautiful in burgundy.
beautiful Loll, those Calla lilies are gorgeous. I had some that colour a few years ago, they are so dark they almost look black:)
A beautiful and striking bunch of lilies Loll.
Well done recolouring your leftovers to make this stunning card. :)
So very pretty, Loll! Thanks so much for sharing!
The flowers are lovely and the way you made the color knocks my socks off. Beautiful!
This card is just lovely xx
Oooooh .... your calla lilies look stunning. What a gorgeous colour.
Your fussy cutting always amazes me Loll ..... it's perfect! A simply beautiful card. xx
I'd say you got the perfect color too Loll! Wow, this is a stunning card! I didn't now there were burgundy Calla Lilies either, I can imagine they are stunning just like the ones on your card. I can't believe how you took aged mahogany and wilted violet and got this beautiful shade. That was very clever of you! Hugs, Brenda
Beautifully elegant with a fabulous shade of burgundy. Great fussy cutting and love the stamped sentiment in the green....Beautiful card x.
Looks like a perfect shade of burgundy to me! A beautiful card, my friend!
These Callas just pop out and have so much depth. Loving that light green, making them even more dignified. A beauty! xx
Gorgeous Calla Lillies! Love the dark burgundy color and the light green stems! A very lovely card, Loll!!
What beautiful lilies Loll - I have some that come out pale pink and then 'fade' to a deep pink, almost burgundy! Love your card
Blessings

I have this stamp set and you certainly put your mark on it with this beautiful lily. Love the colour it landed up and how good to be able to use it when you didn't like the original colour. Goes to show you never know when something you don't like has a second chance. Love it!
