Sheena Douglass Anemone Card

Another quick card!

 This card measures 5"x5" and all the components were previously made from my 'experimenting'.
The background is distress ink brushed through a hexagon stencil and cut slightly smaller than my card front.
The flowers are Sheena Douglass Anemone die and stamps, I LOVE these stamps, utterly gorgeous!
I stamped them onto white card, die cut them out and inked them using distress ink and a water brush. Once dry, I shaped them using my flower tool and mat and a small pearl embellishment was added for the centre. I then added stickles with my fingers over the tops of the petals and leaves to add a little sparkle.
Originally the flowers and leaves were adhered to the card using silicone, but it just was not sticking, so I scraped it all off and used foam pads instead!
The greeting was die cut from white Papermill card and gently inked with distress ink.

Sheena Douglass Anemeone

My mum told me about these lovely stamps and dies that could be used to make wonderful flowers. I investigated and discovered they were the Sheena Douglass Anemone stamp and die sets.
I managed to get hold of the set and came up with this!

The background is made from black card and a fabric weave stencil, through which I added gilding wax. I used 3 colours, Gold, Bronze and Silver.

The flowers were made by die cutting the anemone then embossing them back through the die. I rubbed gilding wax gently onto the flowers and leaves then buffed them to a shine. After this I shaped the petals and leaves using my flower shaping tools and mat and adhered them to the card front using silicone glue.
The 3 'brads' to the right of the card I made by rubbing some bronze gilding wax onto a scrap bit of black card and punching out the dots with my Crop a dile. Using a ball tool, I shaped them into tiny domes and used a tiny dot of silicone glue to stick them on.
