Create-a-Flower: Gerber Daisy tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a fun summer Thank You card to share today.  Most of you are familiar with the new series of dies from Spellbinders called Create-a-Flower which make amazing realistic flowers!!  They are also in the Die D-Lite category, so they have a lower price.  Win-win!  You can see the Create a Rose flower I made on this post.  My card today uses the lovely Gerber Daisy.  And I have to say, this is a pretty easy flower to assemble. The accent flowers are made from my oldie but goodie die set, Bitty Blossoms.

Here are some step out photos showing how I made the flower.

This picture shows cuts for a 1 layer flower.  Note: After seeing it assembled, I wanted the flower a bit fuller, so I made 2 of each petal size.  Essentially made all these cuts again.

 To assemble the petal layers, just poke the petal end into the pre-cut slit on the base.  To secure my petals, I added a dot of glue to each.

 Here is what it looks like from the underneath side.

 Here you can see how each petal layer looks assembled, the top two are already doubled up.  The lower ones are what they look like as a single layer.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here's a close up picture of the flower details, you can see I added some stickles to some of the petals.
