PINSPIRED CARDS, PART 2 | VIDEO TUTORIAL

Do you remember the watercolor backgrounds that I made a few weeks ago? I have shared a video too, if you missed it, kindly watch it HERE. And look how I turned those beautiful backgrounds into beautiful cards here. Do you wanna know how I made it, then watch the video below! :)

CARD MAKING DETAILS

I used various products to create my cards.. Let's start..

On this card I simply doodled the girl and colored her in Copics and Sizzix Markers. And the sentiment was also hand written and the speech bubble was hand drawn. :)

On this card, I die-cut the leaf out of Sizzix Natural Leaves Thinlit Dies using Sizzix SideKick Machine. The cardstock is also by Sizzix.

The sentiment stamp on this one is by Craftangles called I love you.

The sentiment stamp is also by Craftangles called Love Story.

I hope you like the cards and I hope you would give this a try. If you like my videos please hit that like button and share it with your friends and also don't forget to subscribe to my channel. Thanks and Happy Paper Crafting. :)

SMALL WATER COLORED MIXED MEDIA CARDS | UNDER WATER THEMED | SIZZIX

Hi everyone! How are you? Today I have a slightly different project for you. I love mixed media but I wanted it to be simple. I watched many video tutorials but nothing caught my eye and I thought everything was too much for me until I found this channel on YouTube - Susanne Rose Art. Her simple mixed media art really inspired me to take courage in creating these lovely little cards but I definitely gave my twist to it. Her videos are perfect for beginners like me :D

MY CARD MAKING DETAILS

• I started by die-cutting the cute Crab and Starfish thinlit dies by Sizzix called Under the Sea out of white cardstock through Sizzix SideKick Machine.
• I took small sized cards, gave a dark blue water color wash to the background.
• I also water colored the die-cuts in Yellow, Orange and Red.
• I let the cards and die-cuts dry completely.
• Once they are dry , I adhered news print pattern paper as shown above.
• I also gave a wash of Gesso by Papericious.
•  Also added splatters of blue, white and nude water colors to mimic under the sea.
• Finally I adhered the cute things, the sentiment was hand written and finished the card with a twine.

Very simple, right! If possible I shall share a video with you making cards in my own version. I love using news print and text on my projects also.

I'm entering this cards for Daring Card Makers Inky Background Challenge and Craftangles Anything Goes Challenge. I hope you like my project. Thank you so much for visiting and I'll see you next time.

PEACE, LOVE, LAUGHTER CARDS | SIZZIX

Where there is 'Peace' there is 'Love'. Where there is 'Love' there will be 'Laughter'. 

Hello everyone! Welcome back! Today I have a couple of beautiful cards for you made using the products by Sizzix.

Please visit sizzix.co.uk blog for more information and education.

Sizzix Products Used

1. Sizzix Sidekick Starter Kit (White & Gray)
2. Sizzix Clear Stamps - Everyday Sentiments
3. Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Decorative Edges

CARD MAKING DETAILS

I have chosen this beautiful 'Decorative Edges' thinlit die set and selected two of those and ran through the Sizzix Side Kick machine. The card stock I used was white.

I water-colored the die-cuts

and added shadows and details whereever necessary.

Then I took another couple of panels smaller than the main card base and distressed the edges with Carved Pumpkin and Dusty Concord Distress Inks.

My cards are incomplete without splatters of ink so I added that!

Once the splatters are dry, I went ahead and stamped the sentiment from Sizzix Every Sentiments with Versafine Sepia Ink.

Then adhered the decorative edge strips to the card panels.

Then adhered the card panels to the main card bases. And it's done!!

A few more close up shots for you
