RAINBOW DEER FAMILY | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello! I'm back again with a water color card for Sizzix Lifestyle. You know I have been experimenting and exploring a lot with my water colors. When husband is out of town you'll find a lot of time for yourself! I'm enjoying every bit of it but I miss him!

• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Woodland Deer
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Mixed Media #3
• Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)

I started by die-cutting the Sizzix Woodland Deer out of water color paper with the help of Big Shot Plus Machine and applied rainbow colors to the die-cuts. The water color technique I used was wet on wet. And I let them dry!

Then I water colored the background with the same wet on wet technique. Once the background is dry I added splatters of white paint. Then I die-cut the letters from Mixed Media #3 and adhered all the elements together with glue.

And that's all for today. In the above picture 'The father deer is very attentive, the mother deer is so caring and the fawn is enjoying'. The same things happens in our lives also. Very true, right! Thanks for visiting. Take care and I'll see you next time! :)

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 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! :)
