Flourishes Friday Focus–Gerbera Daisies

FridayFocus_gerbera_2012may25wtmk

Hi, there! Happy Friday! Today’s Flourishes Friday Focus is on a gorgeous set, Gerbera Daisies. I decided to do a little spotlighting for my card. I love the spotlight technique and don’t use it often enough. I just love how it really brings out the details of an image.

I stamped the large image on Classic White cardstock, twice. One I cut out with a Classic Oval Nestabilities die and my Grand Calibur machine. That was my base. For the other copy, I chose where I wanted to color and cut that out with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die and colored it up with these Copic Collections:

Iced Aqua Collection:

Gerbera Daisy Collection:

Poppy Collection:

Sunflower Collection:

Beehive Collection:

New Leaves Collection:

Evergreen Collection:

Then I matted it with red card stock and popped it up directly over the same spot on the base image. Love it! The sentiment was stamped on a flag from my Nested Lacey Pennant Nestabilities with a second layer of red, and tucked up under the bow. I finished it off with THESE leaf trinket pins.

I finished off the inside with another sentiment from the set.
