1Send 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 6×6 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 6×6 in the Twilight Purple Collection. Cut the detailed top layer from the purple 6×6.
Cut the pale lavender 6×6 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!
