Favourite flower ...

Good afternoon ... week one of the new school year is over!  The weekend is here along with the rain ... I need to garden but the weather is against me so I've had no choice but to be creative!!  I'm busy with my knitting needles at the moment - the projects are too secret to share but I will when I can!  I've also been busy creating cards, most of which are also too secret to share!  I do have one card to share:

Apologies for the photograph quality but with all the rain the daylight is quite dull and I've yet to master my daylight lamp - its either too white or too many shadows!

It is One Layer week at "Less is More" with the theme of "Your Favourite Flower".  My favourite flowers are freesias but, as yet, I do not have a freesia stamp - so I turned to my beloved Gerbera!  For those of you that know me you will know that I am forever creating cards with this stamp set.  This time I have used brusho and versamark  to colour the image - you stamp the solid image with versamark and then sprinkle with brusho and spritz with water.  I then stamped the outline image with black ink, added a sentiment and scored lines above and below the sentiment.

I used:
UNIKO - Pure Florals: Gerbera
Brusho - Orange, yellow and lemon
Versamark
Versafine Onyx Black

It is also time to say a big thank you to the STAMPlorations team - they chose one of my cards as a Top Pick - exciting!  I'm always delighted when one of my designs is highlighted in a challenge.  This is the card they liked:



Enjoy!
