Eileen Hull Art with Heart – leather paper&transfer sheets

hello everyone! I am back to show you another piece I created for this months Design Team Challenge from Eileen Hull

we are showcasing Sizzix Paper Leather Sheets and Inksheets which come in White, Black, Red,  Silver, Gold and Green . To use the Inksheets you need an Inksheets Transfer Pad. There is also a starter kit available HERE.  so for my project i wanted to create a piece that would be hanging in my new studio!!

so i started out by cutting my letters out of the leather paper and then placed them on the transfer pad

i then laid a sheet of the ink sheets in gold and a thinlit die on top and ran it through my vagabond ( I remembered this time to use the right platform!)
absolutely LOVE how these turned out!! pretty stinkin’ cool i’d say

next i repeated the same process but this time onto a grey leather paper sheet and using a mixture of flowers from Eileen’s collections and various colours of ink sheets. these little flower have so many possibilities of use from creating a 3d flower garden to a subtle background design don’t you think! did these not turn out to be the coolest!! looks like a flower garden to me!

then it was just a matter of colouring the sheet so i used various shades of blue/green in the distress ink pad line. i also used the leather sheets to cut out this beauty of a butterfly

i coloured everything using my distress inks and blending tool

i sewed all three layers of leather paper together and then attached some of tim’s wooden alphabets and then used one of his new display hangers and to give it a finishing touch I cut out and embossed/foiled Eileen doily die from some paper  leatherand here you have my finished sign!

my sign will hang in my studio and i simply can not wait to show all those who come visit!! opening day is coming soon!!!
