Today, we're introducing Fresh Cut Anemones, Fresh Cut Anemones Outlines, Anemone Bouquet, Anemone Wishes, and Penned Sentiments. 

Now, let's get straight on to the project. My 1st card is using Anemone Bouquet with one of the sentiment from Penned Sentiment set.




For the vase, I really want to create the look of actual vase with water in it, so I stamped & heat embossed the vase image on a vellum and then colored it with Copic. To add a touch of elegance, I added a strip of adhesive silver glitter paper and some sequins from Summer Skies Couture Mix collection.




For my next card, I went all summery using Anemone Wishes set. 




I simply heat embossed the image on a piece of watercolor cardstock and colored it with ZOG Kuretake Clean Color marker. Again, I added a a strip of adhesive silver glitter paper and some dew drops (I really love using this along with sequins when it comes to flowery cards).

Beautiful cards.
Love how the stems are
shadowed in the vase.
Too often they are prominent
and it doesn't really look
like they are in water.
These are fantastic.
thanks for sharing.
