Eileen Hull Art With Heart Challenge - Favourite Recipes

I have some extremely exiting news to share with you today. Eileen Hull has a new release due out around December time this year and I had the privilege of working with a couple of the dies, one of which I am showcasing today.

The Eileen Hull Art With Heart Challenge for November is FAVOURITE RECIPES and so I thought today I would do an overview of one of my favourite recipes to use in my art and that is metal foil and paint. I also wanted to take this opportunity to go into more detail re how I created the Cannisters using the  CANISTER DIE which has many fabulous opportunities to use in different ways. I am already thinking about creating a bird house from this die and maybe a house design in some shape or form.

1. Die cut the Cannister using the Cannister Die and a die cutting machine.
2. Emboss metal foil tape with the Tim Holtz Riveted Metal Texture Fade. Cut the metal foil tape into random pieces and then adhere to the cannister, burnishing each piece to ensure the metal is secured in place.
3. Colour the metal with Distress Paints Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn, allow to dry for a couple of minutes and then rub away any excess paint with a piece of kitchen towel.  The paint will remain in all the crevices and highlight all the wonderful detail and texture.
4. Sand some areas of the metal with a piece of sandpaper to add to the industrial feel of the piece.
5. Colour the labels with Distress Paint and add the lettering Coffee and Tea to each of the canisters, adding twine at the back of each label for added texture and interest.
6. Colour wooden embellishments with Distress Paint and then add one to each of the cannisters for added interest.
7. Colour a metal circular knob with Distress Paint and add one to the top of each cannister.
8. Add a spoon to each of the cannisters.

These cannisters would also be perfect for a gift idea, adding chocolates, tea, coffee or even biscuits for a Christmas gift idea.

The new range is so versatile and has so many posibilites and these dies are Scoreboard dies and cut mountboard beautifully.

The picture above shows the very talented Eileen Hull showcasing her wonderful release. I cannot wait to get my hands on these fabulous versatile dies. My fellow team members will also be showcasing more of the range over the next few weeks and have created some fabulous designs to inspire you along the way.
