These darling daisy-like flowers are so beautiful and cheerful, perfect for an encouragement card. Let’s get started with the details!

I began by stamping the main gerbera image from the Paint A Flower: Gerbera Revolution on some Altenew Cold-Pressed Watercolor Paper with Embossing Ink and heat embossed it using Antique Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder. I then used the Tropical Fiesta Watercolour Brush Markers Set to do some soft watercoloring on the images. Once my watercoloured images had dried, I dug out my long-neglected Prismacolor Pencils to add some shading and depth to the flowers.

Then, for my card background, I watercolored a panel of Altenew's Watercolor Paper using Lime and Sweet Leaf  Brush Markers and drug the color out loosely with water for a dreamy, watercolored background. Once it dried, I added dark green paint splatters all around the card panel for interest. 

Next, I die-cut Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock with some additional filler flower, leaf, and foliage dies from the Virginia Rose 3D Die Set, Garden Picks 3D Die Set, and the Craft-A-Flower: African Daisy Set. I coloured the die-cut pieces using Sweet Leaf, Lime, Purple Wine, and Turquoise Brush Markers from the Tropical Fiesta Set and assembled them using Craft Glue. 

Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Castle Garden Stamp Set onto a strip of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock using Obsidian ink and adhered it on my panel using foam adhesive.

Then, to finish, I adhered the panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base using tape runner.
