Penny Black - Thriving - Part 2


Hi everyone.  I'm back with Penny Black's Thriving Stamp set (30-811) again.  This is a second image I've used from the four that come with the set.  I love this sweet flower.  To me, it looks like a Gerbera Daisy, so I watercoloured it to look similar to a pot of Gerbera's I received as a gift last weekend.  Aren't they pretty??
I kept this very CAS, letting the flower be the star.  I stamped the image onto my card front, and again two more times on mixed media paper (which were heat embossed in clear).  I watercoloured both the flowers and leaves on the mixed media paper and fussy-cut them out.  I cut down through the petals of the flowers just a little ways towards the center so that I could shape the flower a little.  Did this with both flowers, then used my stylus and mat to add some shaping.  Glued the first set of flower head and leaves to my card front, pressing down firmly.  Then added the second flower head and leaves, slightly off center to give the flower lots of depth.

Added a small shadow of gray at the bottom of the flower and stamped the sentiment Smile (Happy Snippets 30-358) in black.  Popped up the card front on foam and adhered to my white card base.

Close-up ...

Thanks for stopping by!

    This gerbera type flower is really pretty and with lots of wonderful dimension with the extra layers Loll, and the colours are beautiful. I have started to research how to add the new format for the subscribe by e-mail but I'm afraid not being terribly computer literate I haven't figured it out yet..lol. x

    Thanks for the close up. It is a lovely card and it does look like a Gerbera daisy. Spell check does not like the way I spelled Gerbera but I know that's the correct spelling. [Bunny]

    Your daisy is as pretty as the real one, even though it is gorgeous too. I love the depth you gave it and the coloring is awesome. You sure brought it to life. A pot of daisies is a wonderful gift.

    The Gerbera Daisy is one of my favorite flowers, and your gerbera is so pretty, Loll! Love the pretty colors of the flowers, and the shine of the heat-embossing. Layering the fussy-cut flower over the stamped one is such a great idea. It does give the flower a lot of depth.
