Hey there everyone! I have some Valentine's Day cards coming up in the next several posts, and this one using the new Tim Holtz Sizzix In The Park Thinlits, which to me have a very Mary Poppins vibe. I had such fun making this colorful and crazy card using lots of sparkle. Enjoy!
Using a piece of Silver
Sparkle Alcohol Ink Cardstock, die cut the Falling Hearts Thinlits. Poke out
the hearts and save for another project. Add Cloudy Blue and Sail Boat Blue
Alcohol Ink to an Alcohol Ink Blending Tool, with a dot of Celestial Pearl.
Bounce this on over the hearts piece, covering it completely. Cut this down to
3 3/4 inches wide making sure the hearts are centered, and leaving the length.
Cut a piece of Kraft Heavystock to 8 x 8 7/8 inches. Fold it in half length
wise to make a card base, and set aside. Cut a piece of black cardstock to 3
7/8 x 8 3/4 inches. Cut a piece of red glitter Deco Sheet to 3 3/4 inches and
leaving the length. Adhere the red glitter to the black cardstock at the top
and leaving a slight border at the top and sides. The bottom will be open for
now. Adhere the hearts blue cardstock over the red glitter using two sided
tape, centering it perfectly.
Die
cut two of the buildings from the Suburbia Cityscape Dies using the Silver
Sparkle Cardstock, plus the roofs for each. Pounce Espresso, Slate, and Pitch
Black Alcohol Ink over the buildings and the roofs. Adhere the roofs on with
two sided tape, and ink the edges in Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. Die cut the
two tree first with Kraft cardstock, then the two trees with Green Deco Sheet,
and the trunk with Gold Deco Sheet. Adhere the green parts over the kraft, and
then the gold trunk to the tree. Cut a tiny piece of gold Deco Sheet for the
trunk of the smaller tree and add it. Ink the edges of the trees in Gathered
Twigs. Adhere the buildings to the left side of the card at the bottom of the
blue hearts cardstock so that the blue can be seen through the windows. Cut a
piece of green glitter Deco Sheet to 3 3/4 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches. Trim a
slight rolling hills look to the green glitter and then adhere it over the
houses and to the black cardstock leaving a slight border on the bottom and
sides. Using a sewing machine with white thread, sew around the border of the
card and over the rolling hills. Adhere the large tree between the houses, and
the smaller to the right side of the card. Adhere this to the kraft cardstock
base using two sided tape. Ink the card base edges in Gathered Twigs.

Die
cut the couple from The Park Thinlits with Silver Sparkle Cardstock and black
cardstock. Die cut the open umbrella pieces using Silver Sparkle. Die cut the
smallest heart from the Falling Hearts Thinlits with red glitter Deco Sheet.
Mount the heart on black cardstock, cut around it leaving a slight border and
set aside. Pounce Pitch Black Alcohol Ink over the umbrella handle and the open
umbrella part. Mount the open umbrella part over the whole umbrella and set
aside. Add Deception, Splendor, Alchemy, Sublime, Tranquil, Villainous, and
Intrigue Pearl to the Alcohol Ink Applicator and pounce over the couple one
time per section so the colors don't mix and completely cover them. If you have
any bare spots carefully pounce on a corner of the tool to the bare spot. Don't
throw away the felt quite yet. Mount the inked couple over the black cardstock
matching pieces off setting the black cardstock to the right for a shadow look
using Collage Medium. Adhere the umbrella to the lady's hand and the heart to
the man's hand. Adhere the man to the lower right corner, and the lady up in
the air in the middle top of card. Pounce of the same Pearl to a strip of
Silver Sparkle about 1/2 inch wide. Add the sentiment from the Small Talk
Stickers (cut in half) and then trim if need be for an 1/8 inch border, and ink
the edges of the sentiment pieces in Gathered Twigs. Adhere the sentiment
pieces in the lower left corner with two sided tape. Add the Valentine word
underneath from the Chit Chat Stickers.
