Twofer - Flowers

 

I'm entering these into the Twofer challenge, 'flowers'. 




For both cards I used an AlteNew anemone stamp which I bought just before Christmas and this is the first time I've used it.

I wouldn't know what an anemone looked like if it slapped me in the face but, instead of googling the real flowers, I imagined what they might look like... 



First up, I white - embossed it off the edge of a black card and added a sentiment and white spots.  (I seem to be going through my 'black and white' period at the moment!) 

As well as Twofer, I'd like to enter this into:
CAS on Friday  feel better 
Allsorts  new stamps 
Moving along with the Times  stamps 


For my second card I heat embossed the flowers onto vellum and embossed it from behind using a stylus. I coloured the leaves from the back with a marker and attached the panel to a frame. Then I stuck it onto a cerise card and stamped the sentiment. 

I'd also like to enter this one into:

    These are both sensational Marina! The first is so striking (I love how you added the dots) and the second so soft and feminine!

    Two gorgeous cards. I love how you added the white dots on the B&W version and totally made it your own. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.

    I love the way you do CAS cards, Marina! Your black and white get well card is simple, but it speaks volumes and will be much appreciated. And your framed bouquet of slap-your-face anemones is beautifully embossed and colored! Thank you for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #34! (You could also share with everyone at NBUS if you like.) Take care and be safe! Hugs, Darnell

    I think embossed flowers on vellum are gorgeous, Marina, (says the one who did such a card for your inspiration) and yours are. I love that you embossed with a stylus to give the petals colors and shape. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.

    Both cards look amazing and so very different x. The vellum looks beautiful and what a striking black and white card with the fun dots x.

    How bold, dramatic and unexpected are those dotty anemones, Marina ... crisp, stylish and so fun! The texture you added to the vellum is deliciously texture-y ... such a soft, dreamy look! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)

    I love the idea of not googling but just imagining! Imagine a world with dotty flowers! It's a beautiful card and a complete contrast to the soft, romantic thank you card. Vicky x
