Hello. I'm out of my comfort zone today with a Christmas card for my Mum. She likes more traditional type cards with the usual reds, greens and golds, so those are the colours I went for here when building up my bouquet of anemones. I began by stamping 'Mum' onto a piece of card. Then, I stamped and gold embossed a selection of flowers and leaves from the WPlus9 modern anemones set. I coloured the larger blooms in shades or red, and the leaves in greens. For the smaller blooms I used a little grey shading and went over it with a white Wink of Stella brush. This looked great when it was wet, but when it dried the glitter just disappeared, so I ended up going over it with a small glue pen and sprinkling on my favourite Diamond Dust glitter. IRL this is really pretty and sparkly. I arranged my blooms and leaves on the card piece and attached them with foam tape for some 3D effect. Finally I attached the scalloped frame around the edge and stuck the whole piece to my card base.
