This is Gerbera Daisies.

Gerbera daisies are one of my favorite flowers. They come in so many colors it’s hard to choose!  After printing my image twice I colored one entire panel, and just one bloom on the second image.  I cut out the single flower and popped it up over the base image to create depth.  I used Copic markers YR0000, YR00, YR27, R17, G40, G43, G46 and BVoo for shadows.   I used BG10, BG11, and BG13 to add background around the blooms.  I also sponged around the edges of the panel with Distress Ink in Antique Linen. 
I added clear micro beads to the center of each flower with Glossy Accents to make them pop.  You can also see the dimension from the flower I popped up.

I printed and matted the sentiment included with the image and adhered that to the image panel with a button and some rustic twine.  The patterned paper is from the MME The Sweetest Thing – Tangerine paper pad.
Take a hop around and check out all of the wonderful creations the Bloom Brigade has to share with you today!
