HAPPY HALLOWEEN | SIZZIX

Hello and welcome back! I usually don't celebrate Halloween and it's not my thing at all but I like making cards with Halloween stuff like stamps, dies, stencils and etc.. You can check my previous post about Happy Ghosts Card HERE. I got this crazy idea, the ghost coming out from the pumpkin, as soon as I saw the Bigz Happy Halloween Die by Sizzix. I made this card several weeks ago and hadn't got  a chance to publish it as our house was filled with guests. Hence here is the card for you, I hope you like it :)

CARD DETAILS

The Sizzix card stock is highly textured and rich in look, I picked a few colors that are very close this season i'e., blue, green and orange. I ran the die through the Bigshot Plus Machine.

I distressed the edges of the background with Chipped Sapphire and Vintage Photo, pumpkin with Vintage Photo and the ghost with Black Soot and Vintage Photo Distress inks. I ran one of the dies from Geometric Mask Set through SideKick Machine with Black Card Stock. That would become the base for the Pumpkin.

I adhered all the elements and created a scene as if the ghost is coming out from the Pumpkin. Also adhered a sentiment strip on top of the card.

To add more depth and to add beauty to the card, I added clear star sequins. Do you like it?

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon :)

WATER COLOR TROPICAL BIRD CARD | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello my dear crafty friends! How are you all? Today I have a very beautiful water color Tropical Card and this card features Sizzix Tropical Bird and Sizzix Dainty Upper Case Thinlit Dies by Sizzix Lifestyle. I did a little experiment with colors by adding various water colors to the die-cuts. And I achieved what I desired for! Also I love that pun sentiment. Yes! Toucan do it!! LOL.

• Sizzix Thinlits Die - Tropical Bird
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 26PK - Dainty Uppercase

I started by die-cutting the Sizzix Tropical Bird Thinlit Die from Canson Water Color Paper several times. I applied a little water to the die-cut and added different shades of green, blue and yellow to the leaves.

I applied the same technique to the flowers (shades of pink and yellow) and the bird (shades of black and purple). I fussy cut the bird, the flower and the beak, layered over the previously water colored die-cut. This created a raised up look and added a little dimension.

Over the main card base, I water colored stripes and added splatters of black pigment.

I die-cut the sentiment out of black card stock from Sizzix Dainty Upper Case Thinlit Dies and adhered it.

And that's all for today. I hope you like it. Don't be afraid to try something new! Just give it a try. TOUCAN (You Can)!! Thanks for visiting. Take care and I'll see you next time! :)
