Purple Passion Flower Tutorial

PRODUCT LIST
Card Stock in cream or white
Glimmer Mist or your favorite Color spray
Chalk ink (not shown in picture)
Adhesive (glue) Tim Holtz Tattered floral Die
McGill Sun Punch
Craft Dryer
Nonstick craft mat

Step 1.
Die cut 2 of the spindley flowers from the Tattered Florals die for each flower you make.


Step 2.
Working on a non stick craft mat, spray both sides of your flowers with your favorite color mist. I used Glimmer Mist for this tutorial.

Step 3.
Move the flowers around in the Glimmer Mist very gently as these die cuts are delicate when wet. Make sure the color is saturated throughout the card stock.

Step 4.
Using a craft dryer, dry them until they are 90% dry. Leave ever so damp, just enough to wrinkle the petals up a bit by pinching the individual petals until they are distressed. Then hit with the craft dryer one more time to completely dry. Or air dry.

Step 5.
Using your choice of craft adhesive, stack one flower onto the other staggering the petals.

Step 6.
Punch out 5 sun shapes. I used a patterned paper. You could use card stock and mist it whatever color you want.

Step 7.
Using the thin handle of a paint brush, cup 4 of the sun shapes around the end of the brush handle and form tight cup shapes. Leave one sun shape flat.

Step 8.
Stack the cupped shaped suns one into another to form a cluster. then place the cluster onto the flat piece.

Your finished flowers..They reminded me of the passion flowers in my mothers garden. The color is brilliant. For these flowers I used Glimmer Mist in Trunk Bay and Puerto Rico. I touched them up with Colorbox Chalk Ink in Wisteria.
