Ive been meaning to share this card for a couple of weeks but the weather didn't seem appropriate! At the workshop yesterday I happened to mention that the weather here in the Uk was like Spring in autumn, a perfect cue for this card!
I stamped the single stamp which has all six flowers ion it then cut it out with the matching die which gives me 6 flowers. I then shaded the flowers using yellow and orange Izink pigment ink pads and shaped them using a ball tool. I added clear glue in the centres and added clear microbeads to make give a more realistic look.
I cut the cork using the outline die from the gerbera panel die and matted these on gold before adding to the card. I wrapped a frayed strip of hessian down one side and arranged the gerbera leaves, cut in Krfat card, some bits form the hessian and the flowers on top.
Enjoy...

Hi John
ReplyDeleteLovely card, your Gerbera die is great, the flowers just fall out of the die, brilliant. Got mine last week and cut tons of flowers with it but guess what forgot about cutting yellow ones!! They make beautiful sunflowers so that's my next project.
This card is beautiful John the flowers are the vocal point and they are stunning this die makes beautiful sunflowers my favourite flower

Gorgeous card John. Thank you for sharing this. I have all the ingredients apart from the micro beads. Will have to think of something else for that. As soon as I have some spare time I will make my version. Need to make a Golden Wedding card which is my priority at the moment. Have a good day. Take carexxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card John!

Hello John,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card to match the lovely Spring weather today! I have been cutting out all the Gerbera flowers I have for something I have to do! It’s a brilliant idea having so many different sizes. Love what you have made for today’s card.
Thanks for the inspiration and the tools !

Hi John
ReplyDeleteLove today's card, the gerberas look great against the hessian and cork don't they. Thank you for the reminder of sunshine, it's a better day here today but I think it's the only good day of the week.

Hi John. What a lovely bunch of flowers. Not too sure about the cork though as it reminds me of the floor in our kitchen and bathroom when I was a child - sorry.

This is a lovely card with so much texture and interest. Loving the Gerbera daisies as sunflowers. I have made several birthday cards using my set. I love that I get 6 flowers in one go.
