Faux Embossed Background with die-cuts | Sizzix

This card was inspired by one of my cards made for Sizzix. You can view that post HERE. Creating a background like this is a very tedious unless you have bigger die-cuts. I used the latest Brushed Lowercase Alphabet thinlits for my project today! 

Creating a sticker sheet/die-cuts : this is very easy to make, simply adhere the double sided sticky tape on the back of your card, place the die on the front panel and run it through your Bigshot Machine. Tadaaa.. your die-cut sticker is ready!!

CARD MAKING PROCESS

Once you gathered all your supplies, adhere the die-cuts onto your card front randomly. The die-cut pieces should be of the same color as the card stock you are using!

Next I die-cut '#goals' out of white card stock and colored the bottom portion with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink and adhered onto the strip of white card stock that goes on the front panel.

Finally adhered a few sequins from Mudra and finished my card. This card is great for both men and women. It's one of a kind Unisex card ;)

The theme of our collection is NATURALLY INSPIRED so I am naturally inspired by Nature. I love beautiful and colorful leaves, flowers and birds. And I went with the water color technique! :)

I made several cards with this beautiful collection but today I will be showing you two cards and in the next coming days I will show you more! I will try to make more and more cards with this collection :)

This card features Birds of a Feather and Medallion Mix-up stamp sets.

inks used - rockin' red and midnight

I inked up the beautiful feather and spritzed some water and stamped repeatedly on the card base. Stamped the message on a die-cut circle and wrapped and tied a simple knot with white twine.

This card features Wild Garden, Simply the Best stamp sets and the Best Die.

inks used - melon ice, garden party, sweet sixteen, pixie dust and midnight

I applied the same technique for this one also as mentioned in the above card. Die-cut the word best and sponged the ink at the bottom and adhered it onto the card base. Also stamped the sentiment beneath the die-cut as well.
