Altenew Bulid-A-Flower: Anemone

Hello friends!

As you all know by now that every 15th of the month Altenew reveals a new Build-A-Flower stamp plus die set and this time we are introducing Anemone.

Isn't it gorgeous?!

Here is what I created.

I went for the no line watercolour look using distress inks as my watercolours.

I wanted to give this card a watercolour illustration look and I think it looks close enough.

I stamped the flowers in Antique Linen and the flower centers are stamped using Black Soot so that they are not crispt but more faded or distressed.

I spent the whole afternoon colouring this layer over layer and waited for it to air dry before adding all the details. I used a very light hand to add my "veins".

I stamped the sentiment over part of the image with Versafine Onyx Black.

When I was gluing down the sequins with Glossy Accents, a big blob dropped on my sentiment and the ink started to run! I had to fix it with a white gel pen and some more watercolouring. You can see the blurry "B".

I added more watercolouring outside the lines to give an illusion of more plants in the distance.

I hope you like my card. I am kinda proud of it since this is a 100% watercolour piece and NO pencils were used in adding details.

That is all from my side.

Have a great day.
