Paper Tole Dogwoods Birthday Card

Hello!
Have you heard, paper tole is making a come back how sweet is this!
Normally you will have 5 layers for a paper tole project I have only used 3 layers here 
as this card is for a cousin overseas. 
 For my image I used Hero Arts - Dogwood Stamp and
Stampin Up! sentiment from Simply Sketched set.

 I stamped it 3 times the middle is my card base. 
Then watercoloured the flowers in Peach and 
leaves in Chartreuse using Heidi Swap Color Shine.

I have to tell you that I'm real happy that Distress colours 
do not wash out when painted over. :)
Rough cut out of flowers.
Cut the centres and leaf from this sheet.
Here the flowers, centres and leaf have been trimmed and
shaped. All edges coloured with Antique Linen Distress Marker
and ready for attaching with pop dots
 to base shown.

A close up view of 3D effect.

QFD Throwback Thursday Inspired Tool Holder

 Hello and welcome back! 
If you've been following Quietfire Creations Blog you may have noticed Throwback Thursdays. 
Where they showcase past projects that are sure to inspire. 
I was inspired by the pretty Fill your paper Tool Holder and here is my take on it. 
Instructions:
To large soup can attach with double sided tape the TH -Kraftcordinations paper that has been dry embossed with Sizzix EF -Chicken wire.

 For flower use EKS Flower Punch to punch out 4 flowers from DCWV -Fiber Naturals paper, 
Spritz with Heidi Swap Color Shine -Peach to color (very fragile when wet). 
Use Heat tool to help dry if needed. Assemble flower with glue dots, top with Rhinestone. 
Spritz with hair spray to lightly moisten, then carefully fold up petals. 
Gently keep scrunching and folding petals until happy with their shape.
For leaves cut strips of Green Washi paper into long leaf shape then tightly twist one end 
before attaching to flower base.

Using Stazon Ink -Timber Brown stamp Quietfire Design Nature Quote Mark 
on lable (see photo for position). 
Round corners with scissor and decorate side with StampinUp! Scallop Punch before 
running Distress Marker -Dried Marigold all around   
Wrap and tie Papercord around tin then attach lable with double sided tape.  

  

 This tin tool holder is made using ribbon scraps.


Here is a group of ATC's also made
using the DCWV Fiber Natural and EKS Flower Punch.

 I love projects that make treasures from trash. 


I also invite you over to Quietfire Creations Blog
to check out my HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD with a Pop Up Eiffel Tower
  project.

Thanks for your visit!

Thank You Card

Hi there! 
Today I'm sharing a quick and easy card. 
The lovely watercolour background is actually double sided paper, 
with awesome triangles on the one side.

The stamps used are Thank You from Quietfire Design
and the Poppy is from Stampin Up!


Here's a photo of the other supplies used. 
To make this card I cut and folded the double sided Card stock for a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 base.
Then cut a triangle as shown.
I ran the Red Pepper Ink pad around all edges.
Using same Red Pepper Ink I stamped the Poppy and Thank You.
Next I used Peeled Paint Marker to colour the Poppy stems. Then traced to the inside of the stamped image with the Spiced Marmalade Marker. This was followed again with a wet brush to spread the Spiced Marmalade around some, leaving some areas untouched so the background colour also comes through for highlights.
Then I ran the Spiced Marmalade Marker around the triangle followed over by Clear Star Glitter Pen also added some Glitter to the Poppy at the same time. Punched the holes and added the knotted ribbon before adhering triangle to card base.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today!
