Pink and White flowers

These are some of the options I have for the pink and white flowers.  They are photographed against the toddler size white hat so that you will get a sense of the scale of the flower in proportion to the hat.  These were taken at night with less than optimal lighting, so if there are any that you would like a better picture of, I won't be offended.


#1.  This is actually the flower that was in the listing for the white hat on the baby that was standing.  It is a medium shade of pink with layers of white and pink in the middle and a large crystal in the center.


#2.  The outer petals on this one are a pale pink.  They are followed by a layer of white petals.  It is hard to see in the picture, but the white petals actually have a little bit of white glitter on the edges.  There are small darker pink petals in the middle with a white pearl.


#3.  This is a smaller option for you if you feel like the bigger flowers would overwhelm the child's face.  It also has a different petal shape besides the daisy.  The white petals are the same glitter accented ones that I described above.  The center pearl is pink.  The pearl is actually a much more subtle pink than it looks in this picture because it reflected the flash when I took the picture.

#4.  This one is a light pink daisy.  The white petals have a really ruffled look.  The center is actually a vintage button from my mom's old button jar.  It is a pink button with a pearlized finish and a really neat texture.  Unfortunately, you can't see any of that in the photo because it reflected my flash.  I won't be offended if you want me to take a better picture in natural light when the sun comes up.


#5.  This is a pale pink flower.  There are a few white daisy petals topped with more pink petals.  The center is a fun brad with a pink and white geometric design.

Ginormous Flowers


I love this dress!  It is one of my favorite creations that Amy has made.  Unfortunately, the day of our photo shoot, I don't think Chloe was feeling the love.  The really sad thing is that she was the happier of the two babies the day of the photo shoot.  Despite the miserable baby in the picture, people seem to recognize how cute the dress is.  This week, I have been tasked with making a flower to match this dress for a baby shower.  The person wanted a pink flower that was 2-3" big.  She likes a pearl in the center and liked the peony style better than the gerber daisy.  These are the options I came up with.
 


 #1:  This is a hot pink flower with a large white pearl in the center.  The bright pink is a close match to the pink flowers in the print.


#2  This flower is in the same style as the first one, but it is a lighter pink.  I used a pearl with a peachy tone to bring out the oranges in the print.

#3:  This one is a little out of the box, but I just couldn't help myself.  This is the same hot pink as the first one, but there is a cluster of orange ruffly petals in the center with a peachy pearl.  I just love how the orange and the pink coordinate with the dress.


#4  This is a lighter pink to contrast with the fabric.  The petals are a little more pointy than the other options.  The center is actually a brad that is covered in a light fabric that has a really neat texture.  I wish I had the photography skills to show off the center, but you will just have to use your imagination.
#5:  This is made from the same type of peony that little Chloe is wearing in the photo, but I only used the smaller center petals so that it wouldn't be as huge.   It has a white pearl in the center.  I do have a couple of the full size ones just like the one in the photo that have either a clear gemstone center or a glittery white center.  They are cute, but they are also big.
