hello everyone!!
Welcome back to week three of the Flower Party Die Release with Eileen Hull!! this month the Eileen Hull Design Team are showcasing projects using Eileen Hull’s new flower die release.
Here are all the new releases:
- Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK – Flower, Rolled
- Sizzix Bigz Die – Flower, Heart & Soul
- Sizzix Bigz Die – Flower, Pansy
- Sizzix Bigz Die – Flower, Romance
- Sizzix Bigz Die – Leaves, Spring
- Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die – Flower Pocket
i started my project by sprinkling color burst on all, yes all the new release flowers that i had received from Eileen….yes all of them!!
i then activated it with water
i did some in cool colours and some in warm
and one in every colour!
now here is what these ones looked like as they lay drying….i wasn’t really sure what i was going to do next
and that is where i somehow stopped taking pictures and go lost in the process but i can tell you my next step was to let the color burst completely dry and then i worked but my next steps were basically shaping my flowers on to stems i created using the new twist and style tool.. once that was done I noticed that to me there were missing a little something so I unshaped them and applied a nice layer of Decoart crackle glaze to each of them and then once they were almost dry I reshaped them again!
and here is what i ended up with!
in the centre of all my flowers I sprinkled a bit of Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter for a little pop of glitter
for my flower pocket I painted / layered it with different decoart media paints and then once dry coated it with the crackle glaze and then added some corners to it.
at the end I decided I wanted them to be a little stiffer so applied a generous layer of DecoArt gloss varnish to the entire project
and so here it is all together! I wanted to give my piece the look of an antiqued ceramic collection which is why I gave it all a nice coat of the crackle. the pictures don’t do them justice…
I hope I have given you some ideas on what to create using Eileen’s newest release!! for more ideas drop on over to Eileen Hull – Three Dimensional Art page and see what the rest of her Inspiration Team has come up with!!

Oh wow, wow, wow Diana, your flowers are gorgeous! I love the mix of colours and they looks so beautiful in the flower pocket! Hugs, Anne xx
Diana, you truly achieved the look you were going for , because when I first saw the finished blooms, the first thing i thought of was a piece I had seen at an antique mart!Well done! Truly beautiful!

[…] Diana Hetherington is having a Sizzix Paper Flower Party and you’re ALL invited! Diana went to town and used every Flower die from my new collection, the Twist and Style tool to add dimension, and popped them all into a DecoArt Media adorned Flower Pocket for one drop-dead-gorgeous project! […]
Beautiful flowers in their flower pocket, Diana! Love those colors and that effect of flowers made of porcelain! And the pocket reminds me of old galvanized metal. Gorgeous! Hugs!
I LOVE how much you love colour. This is magnificent and so lively. I just love it.
