Lighter and Brighter...

Happy Tuesday,

Thankfully the weather and snow has cleared so I am once again on my travels.  Today and tomorrow I am running a series of workshops at Allbrights of Diss its going to be a fun couple of days.

Today's card is a little lighter and brighter than yesterdays something really good for spring fest using the same dies as yesterday!

I stared by cutting the gerbera lattice die form watercolour card I then smoked the paper with a water spritzer.  Next I added drops of the Izink Pigment dropper inks in the centre of each flower on the dies cut.  I spritzed with more water to let the colour flow through the flowers and added orange ink in the centre of each flower to make the colour change look natural.  Finally I added this to a piece of white card and used Crafts Too diamonds in the centre of each flower.

I stamped the Gerbera Daisy clear stamp in smokey grey versafine ink and cut it out using the matching die giving me 6 flowers.  I shaded them with yellow Izink pigment ink pad and shaded the centres with the orange.  I used all 6 flowers to make one large gerbera and glued micro beads tin the centre for texture.

I added a strip and bow of May Arts green striped ribbon down the side gluing the flower into place over the knot ( the knots on this thick ribbon do look messy and need covering.

I cut the banners from my with love tag and cut the sentiment from the Gerbera Circles die set shading it with the same yellow pigment ink.

I added this at an angle under the bow and finished the card with layers of white and green to match the bow.

Enjoy...
