Picasso Calla Lilies

Today I saw a picture of some Picasso Calla Lilies and tried to recreate them.  I used Susan's Garden Notes Calla Lily die set.  The flowers are an off white with shades of purple on the inside.  The leaves on this Lily have white specks on them.  

Here is the picture of the Picasso Calla Lilies I tried to duplicate.

For the vase I used Susan's Trevi Urn die set and die cut it using gray card stock.  I used a piece of Washi Tape from Altenew to cover it.  The Urn was attached with double sided dimensional tape in the center of the vase to give it a rounded shape.  

The Garden Notes Calla Lily die set was used to die cut three lilies out of ivory cardstock.  Two shades of purple ink was used to color the lilies.  A fine line marker was used to add the speckles at the top of the sponged on purple inks.  The flowers were shaped with the flower tool kit.  

To recreate the speckled leaves, I used a VersaMark Pen to add the small lines to the white die cut leaves.  Clear Embossing Powder was used over the leaves and heat set.  Green ink was sponged on both the front and back of the leaves.  The embossed areas stayed white.  The leaves were then shaped using the flower tools.

To complete this arrangement, Garden Notes Dogwoods, Maidenhair Fern and Ivy was also added.

I love the challenge of seeing something I have not created before, and trying to duplicate it.  These lilies are not perfect, but it was fun working on them.

As I have said in the past, it is very hard to find any of Susan's Garden Notes die sets, so I have not included links to products.  Susan will have a new release in a few months and we will have many new flower die sets to work with.  I will start adding links to products again as soon as these new dies are released.
