Yellow Daisy 🌼

A few years ago, I stenciled several books with flowers, and this is my inspiration for today's project! I created a tracer from this, and I'll be using some spray painted glass from free floral vases. I use my nippers to create curved glass pieces, which are perfect for creating flowers! I'll be using an 8x10 canvas.

I have a painted canvas already ready to go. I used a palette knife to add little bit of green paint and a little bit of yellow paint to the background.

Next, we'll tape our tracer to the canvas. Place graphite paper underneath and use your stylus to trace your flower. 

I'm going to work on my stems and leaves first. I'm using a light green and a dark green paint with a long, skinny round brush. I'm also adding some white paint for highlights and dimension.

Next, I'm using a yellow paint to make the tiny little flower buds. I'm also adding some white paint and some green paint for some more dimension. 

Now, it's time for the flower center, which I am going to paint white with a dab of yellow. I'm going to take a bigger, round brush and start creating petals. Don't worry too much about how this looks because we will be adding glass here.

I would like to add some color to the center. I'm using the end of a paintbrush to add some dots of yellow as well as some of the light green and white. 

It's time to add details with my graphic pen! I'm adding short, quick strokes around the outline of my flower. 

Now it's time to add glass! I'm using tinted yellow glass that I cut from a vase for my flower petals. For the center, I'm adding some glass bubbles. On the bottom of my canvas, I'm adding some green glass as well. 

Now it's time to resin! We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix 1 1/2 ounces of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Then, drizzle over your glass. Pour the remainder of resin onto your canvas and spread it using your gloved fingers or brush.

Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times!

Here is our cute little art piece! So easy and beautiful, and all from free floral vase glass!
