Sizzix Collection Paper Flower Party

Hello Friends!

Late last year the Eileen Hull Inspiration Team were lucky enough to get to play with
Eileen's new Flower Collection dies, to make samples for CHA.  I always feel so 
honoured to have projects shown there, it still gives me goosebumps!

As the whole range of dies are due for release in May, the team can now share some of
our projects with you.

My favourite project uses Eileen's new Flower Pocket die (Sizzix 661112) and the
Flower Romance die (Sizzix 661110).

My idea was to create a faux galvanised metal holder and a faux porcelain flower. The flowers
 were cut using Eileen's new die and the leaves were hand cut.
I used a Structurizer (you could probably get the same result using Powertex) and
painted this on both sides of the flower.
Whilst the flower petals are still wet, shape them - they will be very hard once 
they are dry and you will not be able to shape them then.
The flowers were given two coats of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paint in 
Pyrole Red.
To create the faux galvanised metal, paint extra thick white card (or matboard) with a mix 
of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Medium Grey Value 6 with one part of Primary Cyan
and paint the card or matboard.
Using Eileen Hull's Sunburst Embossing Folder, emboss the painted card.  Apply a thin 
coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Antiquing Cream in white, leave to dry and wipe over with 
a nearly dry baby white.

Die cut the card with the Flower Pocket XL Scoreboard die.  There are only two parts to
this die, it is incredibly easy to construct.  It is a great size too.
You could use it as a mobile phone and charger holder.
Or a note holder perhaps?

This whole month we are sharing our projects at Eileen Hull's blog HERE.  I hope you can visit,
it's a party!



You can see all of Eileen's new dies by visiting Sizzix the new dies and embossing folders
are all listed as new, for release in May.

As always, thanks for looking, I hope to see you again soon!

Hugs, Anne xx

  12. I saw this creation on FB and came over to see the how-to. You make it look so easy and so fun, Annie! The metallic holder reminds me of my grandfather. He had something similar in his house. And that flower definitely looks porcelain! The fact that your creation is practical, too, is such a bonus!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo

  14. More awesomeness combined with usefulness on this pretty project. Some of the products are unfamiliar to me (the structurizer & the powertex). Love the brilliant red flower (is this effect like the porcelain stuff we used to use?) The embossing folder was perfect for this project, and looks terrific paired with the lovely flower. Congrats on being part of the CHA team...but it was a well deserved assignment. THEY were lucky to have YOU! TFS & Hugs

  16. This wold make a beautiful card too! Never tried structurizer and must look into it. I was just going to cut out plastic packaging - gesso then paint - then heat. None the less - your flowers are really gorgeous. Love the idea of the container with the faux metal.
    Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing about your weekend.
