Underwater Wonder, Tim Holtz

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!
