Hello bloggers! I've had quite a week and a pulled back muscle with a pinched nerve has kept me floor-bound much of the past few days (doctor says I'll be feeling better by the weekend, God willing!). BUT before it got really bad, I had time to finish this project I've wanted to do every since I created the
Flowers stampset shown here:
Here is the finished project storing my sponge daubers!:
I used the flower stampset with the sunflower looking stamp and colored a bunch of flowers with Copic markers and cut them out. Then I got some stick pins:
I used a styrofoam ball and cut off the bottom so it would sit flat. I pinned all of my flowers into it, overlapping just a little so it looks more 'full':
You can put more pins through in the spaces between flowers to help hold the petals down. Then I set it onto some green cardstock and freehanded some petals:
cut them out:
Then used my Copic marker to 'flick' some marks to make them look more like leaves. You could choose a darker color and add more depth, if you want to:
Next, I curled the leaves over my fingers to get more of a realistic curve...just keep going until you like the outcome:
I put a pen on this for my stem, but have wrapped all kinds of things in floral tape to make a stem. I wanted the opportunity to USE this later LOL.
Finally, I put some black beans into a terracotta pot, and put my sponge daubers in on top....now I will know where to find them when I need them, and the storage is cute out in the open :o)
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I'll be back soon with some more fun for you!
Be the blessing,
