Hello friends
Yes, Friday is here and Die Day is here!
Still with my floral theme, this week's featured flower is
You receive 6 die templates with this set - as you can see the petals are all set out in one
die template (large, medium, small - 2 of each).
This makes it so much easier, no fear of losing small dies and speedier
when cutting/embossing.
This is how they look cut/embossed.
For my flower I've cut three leaves, two disc florets (although only a yellow one is pictured!)
three petal bases (2 large, one small), the calyx and for the petals,
8 large, 8 medium, 8 small (that means using the petal die 4 times).
You will see in the petal bases there are small slots for each petal to insert.
This makes it easy to align each petal. I've chosen at this point to lightly ink the tips and edges
using Fired Brick Distress Ink.
Each flower base finished with corresponding petals.
To shape the petals use your pokey tool and lightly curl the petals upwards.
All curled lightly!
You can then layer them up, affix with Cosmic Shimmer.
From green cardstock cut/emboss the calyx and affix to the back of the flower.
Shape the two disc florets by drawing up the petals to create a 'cup'.
Place one inside the other for your flower centre.
Attach the leaves to the reverse.
I've placed a ruler so you can get an idea of the flower size.
You can create a black flower centre if you wish, I preferred mine left pink!
A side view.
I'm in such a dilemma as to which flower is my favourite - I think I'm going to have
to settle and just say they are ALL beautiful!
Create A Gerber Daisy will be arriving very soon - should you wish to pre-order the
details are here.
details are here.
Have a brilliant weekend everyone and I'm back tomorrow.
Take care.

Hi Christine,
Great tutorial,all the flowers are lovely really hard to have a favourite.
Hope all goes well today. Take care. x.
Good morning. This is beautiful and although it would take time passing through the machines so many times, it is really worth it in the end. An embellishment that would be great all on its own. But which one to choose. A dilemma. Fingers crossed for today with Elliott. Enjoy your Big Mac. xxMargaretxx
Great tutorial. All the flowers are fantastic. Good wishes for today

Hi Christine, love these dies, like you don't know which to buy, if only the pot of money was bottomless.
Thinking of you all today

Another lovely flower Christine, and a great tutorial.
Hope all has gone well today at the hospital for Elliot. I dare say it included a visit to McD's afterwards!

Hope all has gone well today, very hard to choose I think the sunflower is in the lead at the moment!! X
This is lovely Christine - I need to add this one to the others I have!! Funnily enough I bought a Gerbera from Tesco four years ago, it was on sale for £1.50 and there was one flower! I keep it in the kitchen window and hubby re-potted it last year for me. This year we can see 12 flowers so far! Gerberas are such a delight and this die is therefore a MUST!!!!
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
