John's Gerbera's

Hi! Well what do you know I am early for once with the weekly class post, and even I am impressed but don't hold your breath it won't last long I shouldn't think lol!
For our next classes we will be trying out some stamps and dies from the new range Bee Balm by John Lockwood, and I think most of you will be quite impressed once you see how easy they are to use especially for those of you who love your florals but hate cutting them out. This is the first time I have used them and I really like them they actually cut down the amount of time you would normally spend making flowers as your embellishments........ Bring out some more Mr J that's what I say 😁
So the hardest thing I found to do was choose a colour , I decided to go with pink and yellow in the end but if you like you can make this card in another colour way.
I have used the Izinks ink pads to colour the background panels and the flowers, kept it simple as the flowers make a main feature.

John's Gerbera flowers stamp set and matching die.

The leaves are from Sheena's range of perfect partners Acorn and Leaves.
7x7 card base.

I added a touch of Clear 3D Gloss and glitter to the centres of each flower. The leaves have gold gilding wax for highlight.

Now I am off to make the second card as I just couldn't pick which colour to use so you will just have to wait a little while before I make up my mind then I will be back to show you the outcome. See you later x
Wednesday afternoon, so I am back with make number 2.....
Just could not decide on a colour scheme 🤔 so in the end I went with a few......
Here is the result....

 Ink, brayer and embossing folder to create the die cut blue and white panel.
Butterfly die from Sara's Flutterby collection we have used in the past.

 I die cut the panels using the Circle Easel card dies.
Glue pen and glitter for the flowers, you can't really see it much you will have to enlarge the photo.

 Sorry not much time to take better photo's but you can see what we are working towards.
I enjoyed using John's dies they make life so much easier.

The base card is 6x6 so not a big card this time.
See you soon x
