It was nice to make something a little more colourful with it this time.
Brief instructions as I don't think you will need detailed instructions for these.
Cut two large and two medium size daisies in the colour of your choice.
Then cut three smaller daisies for the centre two in a one colour and the third in another colour.
Here I have used a mix of two white to one yellow on one flower, then two yellow to one white.
The purple flower I used two white to one pink.
I layered up and stuck all the petals together and gently curved the two large sets of petals downward with a bone folder and the small petals curved upwards.
I also covered the hole in the centre of the flower with a
1" card circle punched from green card stock and stuck to the under side of the flower.
For the centre of the flower, I punched a small circle placed it on some firm foam and rolled a large ball tool round and round until the circle started to form a slight dome.
I covered it in crystal effects and then smothered it in glitter and left it to dry for a few hours.
Once dry I stuck a piece of thick double sided sticky foam in the centre of the flower and placed the glittery centre piece over it.
The stems of the flowers are kebab sticks wound tightly in old olive card.
Before winding the card around the sticks I curled them over and over again in all directions until the card started to peel.
I peeled the layers apart so I had two thin strip of card to with a little glue I would the strips around the sticks.
I poked a small hole in the back of the flower head with a very sharp paper pricker added a little glue and pushed the pointed end of the kebab stick into the hole at a slight angle and allowed to dry.
The leaves were cut by hand with scissors. Lucky for me I had a Gerbera plant sitting on the window sill so I had a reference point for the shape of the leaves. I think my leaves are a little bit broader than on the actual plant. I drew the veins in with a fine ball tool and sponged the edges and attached them to the stems. The final step was add a few drops of crystal effects to give the appearance of water droplets on the leaves and allowed to dry.
