Restore missing partition table to a SD card

I was attempting to write an Open Media Vault image to a 16GB Sandisk SD card with Etcher but after I tried to boot the target system it would not detect  the card.  I tried to use GParted and it complained that there is no partition table on the dive.  Although GParted has an option to create a new partition table it doesn't persist the change to the dirive.  I tried using fdisk and dd command with various options but they both report that "there is no space on the device"  

Has anybody had this happen before?  Were you able to resolve it?
