HOW I MADE THIS CARD

• I followed the sketch of Lawnfawnatic's current Sketch Challenge. So I trimmed a white panel slightly smaller than the main card base and die-cut a circle out of it using Circle Framelit Dies and Big Shot Plus Machine.
• I also die-cut the brick wall from Mixed Media #3 out of white card stock.
• Over the smaller panel I ink blended half of the portion with Sweet Sixteen and the remaining with Bellini inks.
• To add more depth and interest, I added splatters of water, gold and silver paint to the panel. The background was really shiny and beautiful but the camera couldn't capture it well.
• Onto the main card base, I applied Pixie Dust ink where the window is present. To create more depth I added splatters of water and blotted the excess with a tissue paper.
• I stamped all the solid images with Archival Green ink and Party Dress Ink on white card stock. I also stamped the deer and colored them with Permanent Pens fussy cut them and kept aside.
• I glued the brick wall die-cut over the smaller panel and stacked the animals inside the window and adhered all the solid stamped images forming a wreath.
• Finally stamped the sentiment on vellum card stock and gold embossed it.
• To embellish the card I added a few clear sequins from Mudra.

CHRISTMAS SCENE WITH PATTERN PAPERS | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

I never made this type of card before and I must say I did experiment with colors and papers. Yep! I used only pattern papers to create the scene. I don't remember the name of those gorgeous pattern papers, they were in my box for almost five years now and finally I got them to use it. I somehow liked this card, not my usual style though, it's a bit grungy and vintagy. :) 

The card design was inspired by one of my previous Christmas cards made for Sizzix Lifestyle. You can WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Big Shot Express Machine
• Oh, Christmas Tree Bigz Die
• Treetops Glisten Thinlit Die
• Mixed Media #3 Thinlit Dies

I got the idea of adhering the Treetop Glisten die from Anna Drai, a fellow blogger for Sizzix Lifestyle. She is amazing and you must definitely go and check her blog and YouTube Channel.

Card Making Details

I started by running the pattern paper through the Big Shot Express machine along with one of the dies from Mixed Media #3. And adhered the green pattern paper behind the die-cut panel. I also die-cut the trees and distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Next I adhered the Treetop Glisten thinlit die over the trees, die-cut out of gold glitter card stock. And I think this die brings the fullness to the Oh, Christmas tree bigz die. 

Next I applied the Texture Paste from Ranger as snow. I liked the result so much :) And adhered all the elements with Tacky Glue. Finally I added splashes of Picket Fence Distress Paint and embellished my card with sequins from Mudra.

And that is the card for today. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you liked it! See you soon :)

Witchcraft | Mixed Media | Sizzix Lifestyle

Hello friends! Here is my second proper Mixed Media project made for Sizzix Lifestyle. I used the brand new thinlit dies called Witchcraft and Trick or Treat by Timholtz. This card was inspired by my previous card, you can check it HERE.

PROJECT DETAILS

I started by ink smooshing the background with Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Inks. This card is not  a regular A2 sized card, it's a little bigger and square in shape.

I took a corrugated paper and ran all the dies through the Bigshot Express Machine.(You can find all the dies I used at the bottom of the post)

Next I added some texture to the Witch by applying some glue and pouring on Ranger Glitter. Also applied some gold and black paint to it.

I did the same thing for the cat also. Look how spooky they are! 

Once everything was dry I adhered one of the die-cuts from Mixed Media #3 by Timholtz onto the ink smooshed panel, the die-cut was cut out of gold glitter card stock. I adhered the Witch and Cat as well onto the panel.

Next, I die-cut the sentiment from Trick or Treat thinlit dies and applied the same formula as I did for the other die-cuts.

And then I die-cut the stars from Witchcraft thinlit dies and adhered over the card panel. I like how this card turned out, it took me more than an hour to complete! :)

And that is the card for today and I hope you liked it. I am entering this card for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - It’s Written In The Stars. Thank you so much for visiting :)
