For today’s blog hop I played with some newly released products to create beautiful paper anemones.

I die cut some flowers and leaves from Craft-A-Flower: Anemone Blue Poppy Layering Die Set out of white cardstock and used Enchanted Garden and Green Valley Fresh Dye Ink Bundles to colour all the elements. I inked my die cuts using Mini Blending Brush Set and Micro Blending Brush set, no.7 brush is perfect for smaller parts and tiny elements.

Here’s what the ready flowers look like after all elements have been put together.

They can be used in so many ways, alone or combined with other elements to enhance any card or project. 

I quickly made a card using Petal Harmony Hot Foil Plate and Hot Foil Roll - Gold (Mirror) for the background of my anemone. The sentiment is from Thinking of You Stamp Set.
