I’ve taken a bit of time out from designing for my college course to make this canvas featuring a paper craft vase and paper craft, die cut, hand coloured and constructed flowers. I’ll be entering it into Tim Holtz’s Tattered Floral Challenge as it is his Tattered Floral die that I used to cut the flowers from 160gsm thin card. The vase is made from the same card to my own design – SVG file available if anyone would like it…
Each flower layer was wrinkle free distressed in first a layer of Fired Brick and Festive Berries both sides, dried and then wrinkle free distressed in a layer of Fired Brick with Ripe Persimmon. They were then dried before being spritzed and flicked with water and left to dry naturally. The centres were punched and then sprayed with Dylusions Granite spray. The flowers were assembled onto florists wire and stuck together with matt multi medium and left to dry over night before being glued into the vase and onto the canvas background.
Here’s the inspiration pic, a vase of flowers in our lounge:
I love this ‘tattered flower”. Well done and using my favorite flower! I would like the SVG files if possible. Thanks for sharing.
WOW – Beautiful Neil – I can grow these kind of flowers all day long!
Very Nice. Do you plan to decorate the vase, or just leaving it for the flowers to make the statement?
Leave it as it is – minimalism is in apparently… 😉
T O T A L L Y stunning Neil. looks awesome 🙂
how cleaver!!! also so very pretty.
oh wow, this is beautiful! I’m not sure what wrinkle free destressing is though?
It’s a Tim Holtz technique using Distress Inks. I’ve found his YouTube video explaining it, but basically it’s ink up a non stick craft sheet, spritz with water and drag your paper item through it. The technique starts at 1:55 here – http://youtu.be/UV-8nWHplaY
Beautiful colors Neil. I bet it is nice to be able to design something not “course” related for a change.
I really like the flowers and would LOVE a SVG file of the vase…
I love these they kind of reminded me of poppies. So pretty and such a lovely take on the challenge
This is awesome Neil, I love the colours. I’d love a copy of the file for the vase if possible. Thankyou, Cathy 🙂
