My inspiration came from Doda (heres her blog) who is with the Tonic Studios design
team. She uses shrink plastic with the Tonic dies.
·
I used the From Me to You Topper Die Inner Set It has the pansy
flower shape.
·
I cut 2 shapes with opaque shrink plastic.
·
Stamped designs using the new.
·
Added orange to the edges of 1 of the flowers and
dots. Because I was using the dull side of the plastic the dots spread which I
didn't realise this would happen but it looked ok.
·
Punched a hole in the blue and orange flower with a
paper punch.
·
Heated.
·
Flattened 1 of them with an acrylic block and
shaped the other 1 by putting on a wade of kitchen towel and using the handle
of my poky tool to shape. These are the only things I had to hand but you can
use anything as long as it can withstand heat.
·
The glitter didn't show up on the shiny side so
quickly re-heated and moulded the other way.
·
Added cord and ribbon.
·
With the grey swirl flower I added crystal drops
and a little bit of glitter to the centre.
·
Glued a pendant bail to the back and snake chain.
Paper flowers using the die.
I cut a few flowers so I had plenty to play around with.
Rose
·
Firstly Cut a petal out (a V shape to the centre of
the flower) and glue the next petals together to form dimension.
·
Secondly I cut 2 petals out and glued the next
petals together.
·
With the pieces left over I formed more petals.
·
Shaped and glued together.
Pansy
·
I cut into the petals more so they were easier to mould
and shape.
·
Glued together.
·
Added glue to the edges of the petals and sprinkled
with glitter. I used a thin card to do these but it would have been easier to
mould them if it had been paper.
