Basket of Anemone

Today I have a basket of Anemone created with Susan's Garden Notes die sets.  For instructions on how to create the anemone, go to Susan's Garden Club FaceBook page at this Link.

This is a six-inch square card.  A piece of embossed white card stock was scored around the edges with a Scor-Pal, and added to the front of the card.  

Use Susan's Frame-It/Rectangle die set to create a frame out of white card stock.  Use the largest and the 4th largest dies.  Place the smaller die, centered, inside the larger die and die cut.  Score around the edges of the the frame and attach at the top portion of the card.  

Use the Garden Notes Bushel Basket die and die cut two baskets.  Glue the two baskets together for strength.  Color the basket, shape, and attached to the bottom of the card using dimensional tape in the center, and glue around the sides and bottom.  On my basket, I used Nuvo Silver Lining Crystal Drops across the band in the middle of the basket, for a dimensional effect.

Use the Garden Notes Anemone die set and create a variety of colors of flowers.  For some reason in the photo it looks like I have blue anemone, but they really are purple.  The flowers were die cut using white card stock and colored using markers.  Shape the flowers and leaves, using the Flower Tool Kit.  Add black pollen to the ends of the stamens.

Use the Garden Notes Maidenhair Fern die set and die cut 2 each of the ferns.  I used green card stock and shaded the leaves with a darker green ink.  The leaves were scored using the leaf tool and shaped using tweezers.  

Add the fern in the basket, being sure it is placed high enough that it will show above the flowers.  Attach the Anemone in the basket and add the leaves.

At the bottom of the card, I use sentiment dies from the Tonic Craft Kit 24.  

This card can be mailed in one of the clear acrylic boxes, linked below.
