Anemone Glimmer Blooms

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

A sweet friend sent me the Anemone Blooms Glimmer Plate & Die set
for my birthday.  Thanks again to my sweet friend!


Sometimes my Glimmer machine and I don't get along, but this time it
worked perfectly!  I foiled on a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock with thoughts
to leaving it plain.  But then I wondered how it would work with sponging the
inside of the petals white.

I wasn't crazy about the effect but after adding some white watercolor pencil,
I liked it better.

Using Linda's Freshly Made Sketch #697, I added some strips of gold foil
and liked it even better.

I foiled the included sentiment on a scrap of cardstock and used the die to cut it out.
That's all it needed.

A twofer....


This time I foiled it on Neenah Solar White cardstock and die cut the image.

This time I colored with Copic markers and added it to a stenciled background.

A thin frame and foiled sentiment made a birthday card with my favorite color.

That set has found the perfect home, Bonnie! Absolutely gorgeous on that deep blackberry and even prettier in your 'favorite' color! You've brought those Anemones and our Sketch to life! Thanks for playing this week!

Blackberry and gold makes an elegant combination, Bonnie. That card is gorgeous. The gold frame around the yellow flowers reigns them in and makes that a beautiful card too. I can see you getting a lot of cards from this generous gift.

Both cards are elegant and so beautiful! I always love gold and black, and the yellow anemones are so pretty! (One of my favorite flowers but one that has never been happy in my garden.)

WOW, that first cad is so elegant looking in the Blackberry Bliss and gold foil. Coloring with the white pen makes the flowers pop. Your 2nd card with your favorite color, yellow, is gorgeous with the gold foil and stenciled background. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Seize the Birthday.
