Spring is coming or how to make a 3D flowers artwork - easy 5step tutorial
I just love the phrase "Spring in coming", especially if I imagined it in sort of Game of Thrones style (instead of "Winter is coming"). I'm a huge fan of TV series and books by George R. R. Martin, if by any chance you didn't know :D
...........
Prav všeč mi je fraza "Pomlad prihaja", še posebno, ker si jo predstavljam v stilu Igre prestolov (namesto "Zima prihaja"). Kaj naj rečem, sem zvesta oboževalka nadaljevanke in knjig Georga R. R. Martina, če slučajno niste vedeli :D
Well, let us leave uncle Ned in Westeroes and jump into a happy spring time. This tutorial will show you how to make pretty birthday or easter greeting card, an interesting page in your art journal or something it will look nice framed. There are 5 really simple steps to help you create something really cute.
You will need:
- paper (for background and flowers),
- paints (any medium you prefer),
- black pen,
- double-sided glue patches,
- scissors.

No, pa pustimo strica Neda v Zahodnjem in skočimo veselo v pomlad. Če bi želeli pripraviti velikonočne voščilnice, čestitko za rojstni dan, zanimivo stran v art journalu ali pa nekaj, kar boste lahko dali v okvirček in bo polepšalo vaš prostor - tu je 5 korakov kako res preprosto naredite nekaj srčkanega.
Pripomočki:
- papir (za ozadje in za rožice),
- barve (po želji),
- črn flomaster (marker),
- dvostransko lepilo,
- škarje.
Step 1 - background
For background I'd recommend a thicker sheet of paper, you can also use aquarelle paper or something similar. Paint your background with 3-4 different colors, best result you'll get if you painted the background in warm or cold color scheme and already chose contrast colors for flowers.
You can also use scrap paper or sheets of paper that you used to clean your brushes, stencils or brayer, maybe some gelli prints that didn't turn out too good etc.
1. korak - ozadje
Za ozadje priporočam nekoliko bolj kompakten, trši papir, akvarel papir ali nekaj podobnega. Ozadje pobarvamo, najbolje, da uporabimo 3-4 barve, najboljši učinek boste dosegli, če boste naredili ozadje v toplih ali hladnih barvah in vnaprej predvideli rožice v kontrastnih barvah.
Za ozadje lahko uporabite tudi papirje, ki so vam ostali ko ste vanje brisali čopiče ali očistili šablone ali valjček. Jaz redno uporabljam takšne papirje, ker mi je vedno škoda barve, ki ostane. Uporabljam tudi kakšne ne preveč posrečene gelli printe ipd.
Backgrounds that I used:
Primeri ozadij, ki sem jih uporabila:
Step 2 - draw flowers
First you need paper that shouldn't be too thin, but also not too thick because it would be hard to cut. For drawing I recommend black waterproof marker, but you can also improvise with other pens, pencils etc.
Draw flowers and keep in mind they shouldn't overlap one another since you will cut them out (maybe you can find one of my mistakes below).

2. korak - narišite rožice
Najprej potrebujete papir, ki naj ne bo pretanek, pa tudi ne predebel, saj boste imeli pozneje težave pri izrezovanju. Za risanje priporočam črn vodoodporen marker, lahko pa uporabite tudi svinčnik ali kaj podobnega.
Narišite rožice in imejte v mislih naj se ne prekrivajo, saj jih boste izrezali in naj bi bila vsaka rožica predmet zase (če boste dobro pogledali moje risbe spodaj, boste videli eno tako napako).
Something like this:
Nekaj takega:
Step 3 - color flowers
Color your flowers with paints or markers that you are comfortable with. I used watercolors, inktense blocks, dylusion ink sprays and some old make up (yes, really).
...........
3. korak - pobarvajte rožice
Rožice pobarvajte z barvami, ki jih imate pri roki oz., ki jih radi uporabljate. Jaz sem uporabila vodene barvice, tuš v spreyu (Dylusion ink spray) in v kredi (inktense block) ter star komplet za make-up (ja, čisto zares).
Step 4 - cut flowers
Now you'll need some patience to cut out all the flowers. I wasn't very precise and left a little white border around flowers because this will work as an additional help to make flowers look more 3D.
...........
4. korak - izrežite rožice
Zdaj boste potrebovali malo potrpljenja, da boste izrezali vse rožice. Pri rezanju nisem bila zelo natančna in sem namenoma puščala tanek bel rob okrog rožic, saj bo ta rob še dodatno poudaril trodimenzionalnost rožic.
Step 5 - glue flowers on background
Put your cut flowers on background and try to rearrange them until you are satisfied. You'll get best results if you used flowers in complementary colors according to your background. Put pieces of double-sided glue patches on back of the flowers and then glue them on the background. Because double-sided glue patches can be quite thick it will make your flowers risen above background and because of that little shadows appear that even more enhance 3D effect.

5. korak - nalepite rožice na podlago
Izrezane rožice položite na podlago, primerjajte različne razporeditve dokler niste zadovoljni. Praviloma boste dosegli najboljše rezultate, če boste na podlago položili rožice v kontrastni barvi. Na hrbtno stran rožic nalepite primerno velike koščke dvostranskega lepila, nato rožice nalepite na podlago. Ker je dvostransko lepilo precej debelo, bodo rožice dvignjene nad podlago, zaradi česar se bodo ustvarjale sence, ki bodo dodatno poudarile trodimenzionalnost.
And that's what I made. I really hope you found this tutorial simple and useful and please share your artwork inspired by it on my FB page.
