Labels and Daisies by Carole

Hello everyone

Today featuring Angel Carole with her wonderful idea using
Labels Thirty Nine and Create A Gerber Daisy.

Carole has chosen to create a stunning piece!

A decorated upcycled bottle/vase with wired Gerber Daisies.

The colours are perfect for Autumn.

Printing a message and layering the labels.

Carole is also sharing with us her thoughts on making her projects.

I was attracted to die cutting because it’s quick and easy. 

This Create a Gerber Daisy die is anything but! Gah! That said, 

sometimes it’s good for the soul to have a bit of a faff and a fiddle. 

By the time I’d made four flowers, I’d got it down to a fine art 

and my fingers felt less like ten sausages. 

I have to say that I think the result you can achieve with this die is 

well worth the little extra effort. I can think of lots of things I want to do with it now.

If you wanted it to be a bit quicker you could just make one 

round of petals for each layer, whereas I made two rounds.

I still managed to stick to my self-imposed rule of not buying anything 

for my projects – I have to use all I’ve got around me. 

So the ‘vase’ is a small mineral water bottle and the wire some 

I had in the garage from my wire sculpture phase. 

After I’d finished I found some rusty florists’ wire which 

probably would have looked better than the shiny stuff.

To tidy the back up, I used an extra centre and that held my wire on too. 

Hope you like it!

Happy crafting! C : ) xx
