I made this for a friend a while ago. It's been a while since I've seen it, but the adhesive failed so she asked me to fix it and now that I've seen it again I really love it!
The base is an MDF shape that I picked up at a craft show. I covered it with a couple of coats of silver acrylic paint.
The flowers were made using Tattered Lace's Floral Layers Rose die, which makes really lovely layered flowers, but sadly has been discontinued. However any floral dies would work. Same for the foliage.
I designed the sentiment in Canvas Workspace, positioning all the letters so that there was some overlap, then welding them together so that the sentiment was a single piece. I cut 4 layers from 300gsm card and glued them together to get a solid, dimensional appearance. Download the SVG cut file for the sentiment here (personal use only please).
To arrange the flowers I used hot glue to affix a piece of acetate to the back of the watering can that extended from the top to the handle and then used hot glue to stick down the flowers. Then I cut cut some foliage, doubling up the layers again to give them some rigidity, and just slotted them in around the flowers.
