Joanna Sheen samples - Pressed flowers 2


Hiya Everyone,

This is the 2nd of my Joanna Sheen samples that I made for the launch of these fab new pressed flowers stamps. This is from the daisy set (there is rose and narcissi too) - they are £9.99 with free P+P from Joanna Sheen. I was really chuffed as this was the first card shown on create and craft TV out of all the samples!


As soon as I saw the daisy sheet I knew I wanted to do a "he loves me, he loves me not" idea and decided to go very clean and simple with it although it took ages as the cutting out was very fiddly. I stamped my image 6 times and coloured in the stems with marsh green, the ends of the petals with (I think) baby pink, and the centres with tulip yellow promarkers. I cut 3 out fully and the heads only off the other 3. I then cut off a few petals off the first one and then a few more and a few more again. I then stuck the full flower onto a small rectangle of white hammercard and mounted it onto basic yellow card. On the heads only I added a little glue pen and added some yellow flock to the centre for a bit of texture although I'm not sure if you can really tell from the piccy. I decided on a DL card as it fitted what I was doing better and a DL card is a bit of a rare find at the minute isn't it? It took several attempts to get the wording in just the right place with my printer but eventually managed it. I stuck my 3 rectangles onto the card above the writing and then added the flower heads with a foam pad. It took longer to make than some of my fussier cards but I like the end result so I think it was well worth it!
