Gerbera Daisies

I have used a beautiful Simon Says Stamp fromt their In My Heart release, to make a couple cards...a birthday and a thank you...

This Gerbera Daisy background stamp is SO pretty!!  When I saw it, I KNEW I had to color all my gerberas red...like red tulips, I LOVE red gerberas!  Here's one in my garden from a past year...but I purchase them every year for those that don't come back(gerberas here in VA are tender perennials, and if all the conditions are right, will come back)...

I stamped the images and colored with markers.  I used three shades of red for the flowers, and two for the leaves.  I added a die cut and layered birthday sentiment.  Here's a close up...

When I colored the flowers, I colored each and every one of the flowers.  I then cut it so that I could make it into two cards.  The remaining piece is below...

I used a straight sentiment, stamping it vertically right onto the card.  I then popped up the flower panel on the card.  I LOVED how I actually got two cards out of the one background stamp!!  Here's a close up of the second card...

Okay, I got to color, and LOVED it(yes, I know I'm saying LOVE alot!)!!  AND, I LOVE that I got two cards from the one stamped image(there goes that LOVE, again!)!  Such wonderful fun!  Hope you are having a great weekend...please take care!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
