Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. Size is approximately 4 x 7 1/2" . I used a tutorial and template from SplitCoastStampers for the watering can and enlarged the template 129%. It still all fits on one 12 x 12" piece of paper. Check out the Tutorial and Template. Cut watering Can from heavy white card stock and from decorative paper. Glue each piece of paper to corresponding card stock. This makes the watering Can sturdier for filling. Ink all the edges with Deep Purple and Cactus Flower ink. Put can together and sponge adhesive on, then glitter with Crystal Clear. To make flower stocks take 3 wired stamen (I did 3 different colors of purple) and twist stems together. Cut 2 of the largest circles and quarter them. Cut the tips off and make little cones. The stocks in the can (5 of them) use one cone each. Insert the stamen and glue the tops to stay. The lilac stock at the base of the can is 2 cones bottom to bottom meeting in the middle and glued together (looks like an elongated diamond). Let all these dry thoroughly. For the next step it would be handy to have a piece of foam to stick the stems in to dry.
Stamp Leaves (with Leaf Green), Lush Lilac (with Deep Purple) and butterflies (with Cactus Flower) on white card stock, die cut and sponge with color (I sponge the flowers BEFORE die cutting, including the back sides with a combo of Cactus Flower and Deep Purple). Die cut another Butterfly Kisses butterfly (cut off the tendrils) to glue to the back of stamped Butterfly Kisses after adding acetate (two strips together for strength). I used Tacky glue to glue the acetate between layers. The wings are glittered with Ultrafine transparent. Set aside to dry and start on the Lilac stocks. Completely cover cones with Lilac blossoms, using both Deep Purple and Cactus Flower blossoms. Stick stems into foam to dry upright. For the Lilac stock at the base of the can, wrap stem, adding in leaves off of Classic Leaf stem, as you go with green washi tape or floral tape. If you use washi tape, glue ends because washi tape is more of a temporary tape. Glue this one to the base of the can. The other stocks are glued in the can along with the grass, butterfly on acetate and leaves. Glue the second, smaller butterfly to the can on the outside.
