Dry embossing - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Anemone Blooms Collection

Hello! Today, I am sharing a friendship card created with products in the Spellbinders Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula.

Dry Emboss A2-size Chamomile cardstock with the Intertwined Lattice folder. This was a club kit offering for August 2022 and is now available for individual sale. Attach dry-embossed panel to card base.
Cut Anemones from Purple Mist cardstock. Tape bloom pieces from the back. (I found that if I only made one pass with the cutting machine and carefully removed the die-cut, I was able to keep the bloom pieces in the frame.) Repeat process for second cluster.
Cut center pieces (twice) from Onyx cardstock with the Anemones die. Insert centers into floral clusters.
Cut outline of Anemones from Snowdrift cardstock (twice).
Glue Snowdrift outline to the clusters. Trim away foliage as necessary with precision scissors.
Trim clusters on sides and adhere to the upper-left and bottom-right on the card base.
Cut Wonderful Script Sentiments pieces from Onyx and Vellum; adhere script sentiments to shadows.
Glue sentiment to card center over floral clusters. Embellish with Spectrum Gems.
