Hi everyone! I am here today to share with you two fun underwater cards I created with some of the new Tim Holtz/Sizzix dies. I am honored to be a Tim Holtz maker and am so excited to inspire you more with his products!!!
Underwater Wonder, Tim Holtz
Using Distress White Heavystock, I started by ink blending pieces of the paper with various Distress ink colors and then proceeded to die-cut out images from the new Under the Sea 1 and Under the Sea 2, Sizzix die sets.
I love how the Sizzix dies are clearly marked what needs to be die-cut, for which critter. I found using the Lawn Fawn glue tube made it much easier to assemble, especially with having the glue tube holder.
Using Copic markers and a white gel pen, I added some texture by adding little dots here and there.
For the background, I did some ink smooshing on a panel of Distress White Heavystock with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I then die-cut it out of the largest rectangle in Lawn Fawn’s Outside In Stitched Rectangle.
I arranged the critters over the card and added a sentiment from some small talk stickers. Lastly, I added a bit of glossy accents here and there and sprinkled some chunky glitter to add a little sparkle.
While I created the above critters, I also created these jellies. Ink blended Distress White Heavystock, and then die-cut the pieces and assembled using a Lawn Fawn glue tube. For the background, I used a piece of Ranger Yupo paper and played with some alcohol inks and Gilded Alloy.
The sentiment is from an older Tim Holtz/Sizzix die, Adventure Words: Block, and some more Small Talk stickers. Again, I added some glossy accents and chunky glitter, I love the sparkle it gives almost as if it was really underwater.
Hope you find these cards inspiring!

Jenn…loved these cards when I saw them on Tim Holtz you tube. Fun to get all the info on how you created them too. Beautiful cards!!
amazing card!

Love the background. Tried to buy that cardstock after you told me what you used and it was out of stock. Note that it is back now. so will buy some. Happy Easter.
I assumed the first background was alcohol ink because it is so vibrant. Thanks for sharing your process!
