I had so much fun creating the flowers for these and putting them into their "vases." The pitcher was designed by Sandy Stark of Simply Crafty SVGs. I was having such a difficult time in Blender making my own, that once again, I turned to her for help. She'd been working on a design similar to the one I had been trying to create that she offered to finish hers up and let me test the file. I LOVED IT! I've made a few and added flowers from different designers since the first make back in 2022.
I was hoping to imitate a speckled enamel version with the blue pitcher. I think I achieved it. The solid blue paper is from Michael's (Recollection) and has a smooth surface on both sides. TIP: Cut the paper on the wrong side. This will put all the score lines on the inside and your can basically wrap the cylinders and glue with just the slightest sight of the score lines. It's simple to put together... and forming the handle is really easy too. I did splatter the cuts with watered down white paint before assembly for the speckled look.
The rose file is from SVGCuts. I cut all the pieces for the rose and leaves at 50% of the original size. The rose is cut on cream paper (AC textured cardstock #80) and inked using some yellow and orangey inks. I also used cloth wrapped wire in place of the skewers suggested in the original file and video.
The cosmos is from Dreaming Tree. The pieces are also cut at 50% of the original size from a light pink for the flower, yellow for the sepals and the same color of green for the the flower center and leaves. I used some embossing tools and a set of tweezers to add some additional details to the flower after cutting and inking.
The tiny blue and white flowers were from Dream Posies and were cut at 100%. I added some Nuvo drops to the center of each wired flower - I really like how they turned out.
The "leather leaf" file is from Creative Fabrica - and I reduced the size to about 75%. I wanted to add a little extra texture to the leaves to I used an embossing folder and then inked the entire leaf with a slightly darker than the paper ink.
I'm not a professional floral designer or arranger and don't profess to be, but I think these turned out pretty good and from the look on our neighbor's face when I delivered one of them to her, I did okay. LOL
Hoping your day has been or will be a good one. Enjoy some time outside and marvel at the beauty that surrounds you.
