Hello everyone! Welcome back. This card is for Sizzix Lifestyle. The overall card design was inspired by Timholtz 2018 Idea-ology Holiday Cover Photo. I hope Tim and you guys don't mind me :p

CARD DETAILS

I started by die-cutting the Holiday Greens and Garden Greens Thinlit Dies out of Canson Watercolor Paper and water colored them with Candied Apple, Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. 

Next I distressed the background panel with Candied Apple Distress Ink and then added stripes with water and Picket Fence Distress paint. Then I added splatters of water and Picket Fence ink with paint brush for the snowy effect.

To the edges of the card panel I added Picket Fence Distress Paint.

I adhered all the water colored die-cuts with Tacky Glue and stamped the sentiment from CP Designs with Archival Jet Black Ink.

That's all for today. Thank you so much for visiting. Take care and I'll see you next time! :)

BRIGHT FALL LEAVES CARD | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hi everyone! I've been missed in action (MIA) for quite sometime due to some other work. I made this Bright Fall Leaves Card for Sizzix Lifestyle. I used Distress Inks only for the background and for the leaves.

• Sizzix Big Shot Express Machine Only (White & Gray)

CARD DETAILS

I started by ink blending the background with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and added splatters of water then followed by white paint and then gold paint and then followed by Chipped Sapphire Ink. It was such a dreamy background to make!

Then I die-cut Tattered Leaves Dies out of white card stock and colored the leaves with Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Candied Apple Distress Ink. Then added splatters of white paint and gave some details to the leaves with gold paint.

I made a pocket, stamped the sentiment from CP Designs and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder. Also made a simple knot with some white twine. Then foam mounted the pocket over the main card base.

Then struck the leaves into it. And that is the card for today. I hope you like it! Thanks for visiting! :)
