Spotlight on Gerberas

I've been playing with my new Gerbera stamp from Altenew and if you ask me what are my favourite flowers I would honestly say orange and yellow gerberas. I just love how cheery they are so when I saw Altenew had added a gerbera stamp to their "Paint A Flower" series I was in!

As the series is called Paint a Flower I thought I would try some simple watercolouring with my Zig real color markers which I haven't played with for such a long time. Don't ask me why as they are so fun and so easy to use but I guess I grab my Copics more these days.  

AAA Birthday Cards and Just Add Ink card challenge sites are challenging us to use flowers  this week.

Supply List:
Stamps: Paint a Flower: Gerbera Revolution (Altenew) and Easy Expressions: Birthday (The Ton) and matching die set.
Ink: Versafine Clair Nocturne, Early Espresso (SU!), Versamark

Paper: Neenah Solar White 110lb, Ranger Watercolor (as it is WHITE)
Other: Champagne Rhinestones (SU!), stampin' dimensionals, Zig real color markers, aquapainter, copper embossing powder, MISTI, Waffle Flowers A2 rectangle dies, Crafty Corners

Technique: Spotlight Stamping 
Challenges: AAA Birthday cards, Just Add Ink

There is plenty of time to enter both challenges so if you have time have a play with your favourite flower stamp set. I have to admit I used my MISTI,  A2 rectangle dies, Crafty Corners to make lining up everything for the spotlight technique a doddle.

In case you wonder what a Crafty Corner is its a Perspex corner of varying sizes so you can line up your layers and I LOVE THEM! In New Zealand Krafters Cart is selling them and I overlooked them for awhile but I think they are a great investment.

Thanks for popping in.
