Gerbera Daisies



I was invited to be a guest designer for The Digi Shack and I was so excited. This is my first try and I was really nervous. Hope you like what I made. Click on the title Gerbera Daisies above and it will pop you right over to The Digi Shack to see some really cute one of a kind digis. They are fun and easy to work with.

I am in summertime mode here and love Gerbera Daisies. They stand up so straight and proud with vibrant colors and love the summer heat. They are everything I am not, but wish to be!

I found this image and just had to have it. I printed it on gold polka dotted paper 6 times. Cut all six out and doubled each of them using a pop dot in between the layers. I thought, if they were real, they would look perfect on my kitchen or porch table in a good strong Mason jar. I used my Cricuit Doodle Charms cartridge to cut it out of vellum.
I sewed the edges of the mat and attached them to a Kraft colored paper from Stampin UP. The rest of my papers are either Stampin UP or from my stash, and I am sorry, but I don't know where they came from. The sentiment and punches are all Stampin UP too!

Please leave me a note and tell me what you think! Thanks for lookin!
