Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop: Flower Petal Power

Welcome to the Sizzix Fresh Vintage blog hop
this is the 12th hop of 12.
We have been showcasing Eileen Hull's 
 new collection of 
every Tuesday and Thursday for the last 6 weeks!
If you missed any of the hops go to
Eileen Hull's blog and you can find them there.
It has been an honor to help showcase
these new Sizzix dies for Eileen.....
but wait the fun will continue monthly
Eileen will have more information on
her blog shortly about that....

there are a lot of possibilities with this one

and I choose to make a Christmas Tree....



I die cut the petals out of several prints of
DCWV Tis the Season Paper
then I used 
Earth Safe Finishes Eco Epoxy 
to give them shine 
(in this picture you can see where 
I have the Eco Epoxy on a couple petals)

When the petals were dry I 
used ESF Eco Epoxy
to glue wrong sides together
so they were double sided;
then I used a paint handle to
roll them and give them shape.

Then I pinned them to a Styrofoam Brand Cone
to get the spacing right...
then I glued them to the cone
with the Eco Epoxy


I placed it in a ceramic pot....
and there you go....
quick and easy!

To view the hop you can click on the
