Aya's Designs - Card Making

This is the card for my second Altenew Educator Certification Program class - Seasonal Scene Building.  I had a tropical scene in mind so I started by stamping and heat embossing Altenew's cute little Tropical Toucan . I colored it very simply using OLO markers.  To build out my tropical scene, I used leaves from Altenew's Hibiscus Garden 3D die set. I really love the two-part palm leaf that sits in the upper left of the card and have plans to use this set again. For the peak-a-boo effect, I used an oval die and cut through the panel and the front of the card base. The toucan was positioned in the background and the leave overlapped the oval. For the sentiment, I used "Good Morning, Sunshine" from Altenew's  Sunrise in the Park stamp and die set.  To finish things off, I placed a few Altenew's Green Fields enamel dots.  This was a fun and informative class!  

This is the card I made for the my first class in the Altenew Educator Certification Program - All About Layering 3. I used the Build-a-Flower Belladonna Lily Layering Stamp and Die Set along with Cherry Blossom Crisp Die Ink. Although I'm not versed in layering stamps, the process was simple and aligning the stamps was easier than I thought. For the background, I used the (retired) Doodle Dots Cover Die. I backed the cover die with pale yellow card stock and layered a partially cut circle beneath focal lilies.  Also included are photos of the other cards I made in this class. All in all, this was a very fun, informative class and it's taken away my trepidation of layering stamps!
