Yellow flowers...

Happy Saturday,

As I have an unexpected Saturday off I am attending a workshop today rather than running one, Im really looking forward ti making an MDF Steam Punk grandfather clock with All Reeve!  Ill share some pictures of the day on facebook!

back to today and a simple card made with the gerebera daisy die and flower foam.

I cut the die three times form a piece of white flower foam.  I then shaded each flower using light yellow izink pigment ink pad.

I heated each flower to make them curl and threaded yellow stamens through the centre.

Enjoy...

Patterned Flowers...

Happy Friday,

Just a few more samples with the Gerbera Daisy collection Its just that I made so many I can't wait to start showing you what I have next there are some really nice new things coming in the next couple of weeks and months!  I will start to mix it up next week I promise.


Back to Today and hopefully something a little different today with patterned paper and foam flowers

I cut the Gerbera circle in maya blue lustre card and mounted it onto a white circle using 3D glue dots for dimension.  I added a different sized stick on pearl in the centre of each flower then mounted this onto a mat, cut with the press cut stitch dot circles.

I cut the flowers using glitter foam from crafts Too and punched a hole in the centre grouping them with a brad from my stash.

I cut the matching leaves in the blue and glitter foam and arranged these on the side of the circle with a messy bow in white.

I made up the card as shown using patterned paper from my stash ( Craft Consortium 12 x 12 paper pad) adding layers of blue and white.

Wooden Card...

Happy Thursday,

I thought it was time I showed this card made simply with a wooden background.

I stared by colouring a piece of watercolour card with the Izink Pigment dropper inks adding dots of the colours and then spritzing with water too make the colours mix.  I love the swathes of colour and the shine form the gold!  I used this as a frame with black gloss card to frame the piece of wood paper stamped with the sentiment.


I wanted a little more framing so I cut the Gerbera Rectangle background in white and added black pearls to highlight the flowers and detail.

Finally I added dragonflies cut with the solid in the coloured watercolour paper and topped with the detail die cut in black gloss card.  This die was designed to frame a background and I really feel that it achieves it here!


Enjoy...

Yellow Daisies...

Happy Wednesday,

A relatively simple card today made with just one die with no die cut embellishments or flowers a rare card for me lol

I really like the spring like colours used as I dont often use yellow but I found this new Crafts Too card in a soft yellow linen finish so I juts had too use it.




















I started by cutting the Gerbera panel down the side of a piece of gold dust white card  I extended the die by slotting it back in to make a strip of 5 flowers.  I foam mounted this over a strip of the yellow and raised the petals of each flower adding a pearl in the centre of each Gerbera.


I then added a strip of yellow gingham down the opposing side with a large bow which I think this card carries well.  I finished with my usual set of mats and layers with pearl strips added on each edge.

Enjoy...

Simple Wreath...

Happy Tuesday,

Todays card is again quite simple after yesterdays complex card.

I simply cut the Gerbera Circle die three times in differing coloured card and added a strip of ribbon and a bow.

Enjoy...

White Daisies...

Happy Monday,

I love white on white and with this card I was able to add some texture as well as movement making a multilayer shaker card.

I stared by cutting the Gerbera Panel across a piece of ice white lustre card 4 times leaving a 1/2" gap between each die cut.  I added acetate behind this then added foam tape around each panel giving me 4 individual troughs.  I then filled each one with white micro beads and added a backing off the white card to seel.

I added Gerbera daisies cut in the same card and using 2 of each size I made 6 flowers and arranged them arround the central circle.  For the centre I cut the 2 circular dies in the Gerbera Circle die set and added the sentiment from the same set in the centre.


Fo added interest I placed the 2 largest dragonflies one in each opposing corner.

To finish I added an embossed layer and more layers of the Ice White.  White pearls in the centres of all the flowers finishes the card.


Enjoy...
