Hello everyone! How are you? ♥
This is Deepti Stephens here and today I'm going to show you a quick and colorful Birthday card using Sizzix Bigz Die - Leaf, Maple Item #A10162 and Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray) Item #660020. This Maple leaf die doesn't meant only for 'Fall/thank you cards' but you can obviously use this for any occasion! So, Let's get started!! :)
Let's learn how to make this card, I have a step by step tutorial for you!
First, die cut a bunch of leaves using Sizzix Bigz Die - Leaf, Maple Item #A10162 using Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray) Item #660020. You will need only two cutting plates to diecut the Bigz.
Now watercolor them with Distress inks. Of course! you can use any medium you like to color your die cuts :) here I used Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry distress inks as my water colors!
Now, adhere the leaves on to the card base. This card base is slightly bigger than the standard sized A2 card. Trim off the excess leaves that is hanging off the edge!
Now, add splatters of black ink, this will add an extra interest to the background!
Once the black splatters dry, now apply gold paint and also add the splatters of gold for more interest :D
Finally stamp the sentiment, since the background was too busy I decided to add a simple sentiment. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of black card stock and foam mounted it onto the main card base with a messy golden string!
Finally added a few golden enamel glitter dots forming a visual triangle around the sentiment!
And that's it. I hope you like this card and I hope you got inspired to create something with this Sizzix Bigz Die - Leaf, Maple Item #A10162. Thank you so much for stopping by, take care and I will see you soon ♥
