THREE CUTE EASTER SPRING CARDS | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello everyone! How are you doing? Today's projects are going to be the cutest and they are very simple to make. My cards feature Spring Time Thinlit Die from Sizzix Lifestyle. These dies are great for making both Spring and Easter Cards/projects. I did some simple copic coloring to my die-cuts, I have a very few collection of Copics and I love working every bit of bit. :)

• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 18PK - Spring Time
• Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)

I die-cut the dies from white card stock, colored them with copic markers. 'The bunny (standing) is balancing and bringing a pot of Easter eggs to his friend who is waiting near the floral bushes!' ;) 

All the die-cuts were colored with copics and adhered over the ink (peacock feathers distress ink) blended panel. I did some Reverse Die-cutting. 

Look how I colored the die-cuts! Yep! I did dimensional coloring with copics. I hope you like them. Thanks for visiting :)

CARD MAKING DETAILS

The first step was, die-cutting all the thinlits from white card stock. I want my buildings to be colorful so I chose some colorful copic markers to color my buildings. I placed a bright yellow card stock behind the buildings and this acts as lights.

Love the background? I ink smooshed the background with Black Soot Distress Ink, added two to three layers of colors and also added splatters of black and white paint to achieve that grungy look.

I added nice coat of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the buildings and also added silver dots using Silver gel pen to one of the buildings (blue). Once it's dry I adhered all the buildings on the ink smooshed panel.

I die-cut the word 'hello' out of white card stock (Spring Time Set) and adhered on top of the card.

And the final step - adhering the ink smooshed panel over the main card base. That's it! :)

ART JOURNAL PAGE #1 - MIRACLES HAPPEN | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE | VIDEO

Hi everyone! Today I'm so happy that I'm sharing my first ever proper Art Journal Page Video with you. I have been a very big fan of Vicky's Art Journal Pages but I didn't have courage to start over. It took me more than four years to lose fear and to create one. I have shared my first page (no video) HERE. After watching the result, I was quite confident enough to start my new love. :)

This Art Journal Page is made for Sizzix Lifestyle using their beautiful dies. The good thing about Sizzix Lifestyle's dies are they compliment each other very well and enhance the beauty of the design. I would like to thank Vicky for inspiring me, Yainea for the lovely glass jar technique and Sandy Allnock for glass effect technique! :)

• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 35PK - Dainty Lowercase
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 18PK - Spring Time
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 2PK - Birds and Stars

ART JOURNAL PAGE PROCESS

I started by die-cutting all the die-cuts out of heavy weight white card stock and kept it aside. To a 6x6 panel (heavy weight card stock), I applied a generous coat of Heavy Gesso from Papericious. This Gesso dries very fast so I applied Dark Blue Acrylic Color to resemble the night sky and Black Acrylic Color for the ground. By the way, these Acrylic Colors are from Fevicryl, an Indian brand. These are super duper awesome! :)

I wanted the stars to stand out in the background so I added splatters of heavy gesso. This gesso splatters doesn't soak through the paper or doesn't take the color from the background. I placed the Mason Jar from Spring Time set, colored it the way to look like glass. Also colored the birds in gold acrylic paint. Also gave tiny details with silver gel pen to the top of the mason jar for metal finishing.

I adhered the mason jar and the birds with Tacky glue. I like how the tiny birds are coming out from the jar. So magical! :D This applied this concept on one of my old cards, check HERE.

The mason jar without some glass effect is nothing, so I applied a light coat of Gesso over the jar. It does look like glass, right? ;)

And finished the page with Dainty Lowercase Alphas. Yes! Miracles Happen! All you need to do is stay strong, do not lose your faith and wait for the miracle to happen! :)

BICYCLE | LOTS OF LOVE | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

How cute is this Bicycle with cart full of Hearts!! I die-cut the bicycle, cart and hearts out of white card stock and colored them with Copic Markers :)

This card was made using the Chapter One dies by Sizzix Lifestyle. And the products featured here are

• Spirng Time Thinlit Dies
• Unicorn Bigz Die (for hearts)
• Big Shot Plus Machine

CARD MAKING DETAILS

I took a top folding landscape card which is a heavy weight one and I die-cut the bi-cycle from Spirng Time and Hearts from Unicorn out of white card stock. I used the same heavy weight card stock for die-cutting also.

To color the die-cuts I used Purple, Grey and Red Copics and also a black permanent marker. I adhered the cycle with tacky glue and stacked the hearts behind the cart and adhered it to the card front as well. 

I also adhered a couple of hearts as if they were coming out of the cart. I simply repeatedly stamped the sentiment from Avery Elle in Midnight ink by CP Designs. :)

I'm entering this card for the following challenges
