Purple Anenome

 Hi and welcome!  I am the sketch hostess this week over at Freshly Made Sketches and I added a few more layers than I usually do to my sketch.  


I got a whole lot of Honey Bee Stamps products during the Black Friday sales and I have been trying to work through them over the small amounts of time I've had to create lately.  This anenome flower was made using white cardstock and Altenew inks.  Once it was put together (minus the centre) I spattered it with gold colour shine and white acrylic paint.  I then spattered the centre elements with Black Soot ink before assembling.  

The card base was stenciled with white embossing paste (got a thing for stenciling at the moment!) and then I chose some pattered paper and copper foil to add the layers.


I finished with a copper hot foiled sentiment.  Thanks for visiting.  Head on over and see how the rest of the team interpreted my sketch and I hope you'll have a go yourself.




Products used:

Ink:  Wisteria, Hydrangea, Ultraviolet, Andromeda, Yellow Ochre, Olive, Moss (Altenew), Black Soot Distress Ink
Cardstock:  White, Watercolor Wash, B&W Stripes (MFT), Copper foil
Dies:  Lovely Layers: Anenome (Honey Bee Stamps), Hexi-Gem Sentiments (Spellbinders)
Accessories:  Copper hot foil, Shabby Rose Stencil (Stamperia), White Embossing Paste, White Acrylic Spray, Gold Color Shine

Cheers
Karren
