Play around with some subtle ink-blending and bring those die cut florals to life with this simple Anemones card.
Today our designer Shelly is showing off this awesome floral design and we are living for the soft purple of these blooms. Set against this stone colored cardstock, these florals feel elegant and timeless and perfect for a “just because” card. Follow along as Shelly shows us how to recreate this gorgeous anemones floral card.
- Start with white cardstock and use the 5808-01D Build a Bloom Anemones die to die cut flowers (2x).
- Use Color Fuse Ink sets #1 (Custard), #2 (Apricot), #6 (Lilac, Magenta), #10 (Basil), #11 (Grass) along with blending brushes to ink blend flowers and leaves.
- Assemble flowers.
- Set aside.
- Use the 5811-03D Sunlit Blossoms die set along with a dark brown cardstock and die cut ‘twig/stem’ (2x).
- Set aside.
- Take a piece of ‘stone or soft/light grey’ cardstock and cut to fit an A2 card base. *note: don’t adhere the cut cardstock to your card base.
- Adhere flowers, leaves, and ‘twigs/stems’ to the stone/light grey card panel.
- Slightly ‘curl/bend’ the flower petals. *Tip: be gentle when curling/bending petals to not crease them, using your fingers with the petal flat in between and then rolling them towards you helps.
- Add paint splatters using a white paint pen.
- Let dry.
- Adhere to an A2 card base.
- Set aside.
- Using the 37015 Iris Floral stamp set, stamp sentiment onto white cardstock using black ink.
- Use the 37015D Iris Floral coordinating die with the stamped sentiment.
- Adhere the sentiment to the card using foam tape.
