Paper Tole Pansies Tutorial

Here is my tutorial I promised on yesterday's post.

This is how I pieced my pansies. This type of piecing is called paper tole.

I started by doing the ink spray and smash technique.

I scribbled several markers onto my acetate report folder.

This is how it looked after I sprayed the folder with water. I placed my cardstock on the marker-water droplets. When it was dry I stamped the pansies image 4 times. Time to cut... I first cut out the whole pansy.

Next I cut out all but the top left petal.

Then I cut it out, cutting the top two petals off.

Lastly, I cut just the top petal out.

I took scraps of craft foam that had adhesive on one side.

I cut the foam into pieces and stuck them to the bottom 3 flowers.

Since the adhesive was only on one side, I added Aleene's tacky

glue to the tops of the foam.

I placed the flowers on top of eachother in the order I cut them out.

To finish the pansy off. I added a pearl bead to the center.

Here they are on my card. I made this card

for the Technique Lovers Challenge at SCS for cutting

along the edge. I cut along the lace. The pansies are from

a Mark's Finest Papers set called HAPPY PANSIES. The

get well sentiment is from another Mark's Finest Papers set called,

AFRICAN VELDT.

Mark’s Finest Papers

I took this photo last week when I was visiting my niece. My niece just had a baby and we came for the baby's baptism. My niece has decorated the baby's nursery with zebras and other African animals. Considering that this is my niece's zebra, it makes total sense.

My project, is a windsock that I made for the baby's nursery. It also doubled as a project that I did with my learners for life group last week. We took oatmeal containers and peeled off the paper. I wrapped mine with black cardstock. There was a horizontal seam as well as a vertical seem, but I covered them with the images. I stamped the images with black stazon. I matted the images with different colors and used the scraps to cut triangles. It took awhile to cut the triangles just right. I punched 4 holes at the top and tied black twine in each hole. I then tied the 4 pieces of twine together. I cut out the bottom of the oatmeal container. I added glue around the rim and glued strips of white tissue paper. It was hard to photograph a round object. I tried to take enough photos so that you could see how the windsock looks.
