This month the Design Team are showcasing projects using Eileen Hull's new flower die release.
My first sample is using Eileen's soon to be re-released Suitcase Die.
I used Tim Holtz Layering Stencil to add rays to the suitcase colouring with Fossilized Amber and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks. I also added delicate splatters of Hickory Smoke Distress Spray Stain to the background.
I added a couple of natural twigs behind the flower along with a coordinated ribbon. The flower which is newly released from Eileen is called Flower, Heart & Soul and is a Sizzix Bigz Die. I coloured the flower with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink, adding touches of Hickory Smoke Distress Spray Stain. I also added an Idea-ology flower to the centre. The petals from this flower could quite easily be used on their own. To complete I added a ChitChat Sticker.
My next project uses Eileen Hull's Flower Pocket Die, a XL Scoreboard die. I wanted both of my pieces to coordinate so once again I used Tim Holtz Layering Stencil to add detail to the pocket. I also added some random background stamping for added interest.
I spritzed the background with Hickory Smoke Distress Spray Stain and also added splatters and scratchy paint lines for added interest.
I also added some coordinated cards which I thought you could attach a packet of seeds to the back and send as a gift to a gardening friend. The cards were die cut using Eileen Hull's Recipe Card & Label Die.
The flower is a Thinlits Die Flower, Rolled and can be used in so many different ways, again I coloured with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink and added touches of Vintage Photo do the edges.
Pop by Eileen's blog to see my fellow Design Team members creations for further inspiration.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Gorgeous Tracy. Love these flowers, they sure pop off your projects. So full of sunshine!!!
Tracy this little suitcase with Eileen's flower die is gorgeous. I love your combination of Tim's rays, the beautifully done dimensional flower and the sentiment on the little suitcase. Gorgeous colors. The pocket die is also beautiful. I love the little coordinated cards you added with the sentiments, too. Adding flower packs is such a cute idea. You are always so clever with your projects. I love them all!
I am not sure what I love the most about these two projects!! the colours used, the suitcase, the flower pocket, the things tucked inside, the stamps, the rays of sun!! well I am guessing I love it all! both equally beautiful!!
Tracy these are so flipping awesome! I love the colors.
