Blooming Anemone Slimline by Jean Okimoto

Send warm winter hugs with the graceful Blooming Anemone from the January Anemone Collection. The latest release is like an indoor garden - pick your favorite colors, buds or blossoms and add them to greetings for any occasion. Hi, Jean here - hoping to add some warmth and color to a frosty gray 37-degree day.

I've altered and repurposed several design elements here. The stem is upside-down. A petal diecut is also cut from green cardstock, trimmed, and rotated to become leaves. The stamen is cut twice and layered.

Cut the Blooming Anemone blossom from a purple 6x6 in the Twilight Purple Collection. Sponge the stamen with black ink.

Cut the stamen, stem, sepal and the 4-section petal from green cardstock. green Remove the narrow and extra-wide sections of the petal diecut - the remaining pieces will be rotated and attached as leaves. Sponge the green stamen with black ink too.

Cut the new Hugs Debut Script background from a pale lavender 6x6 in the Twilight Purple Collection. Cut the detailed top layer from the purple 6x6.

Cut the pale lavender 6x6 with the 1.1" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die - the cardstock is slightly shorter than the die.

Cut the beautiful lavender and gold Anemone Grove scallop print with the same die - remove the sheet from the paper pad and use part of the top section too.

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-½" x 8-½"). Add gold Autumn Fairy Crystals. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting our blog...hope the January Anemone Collection inspires you to create unique greetings in a rainbow of floral colors!
