#4 AECP Let it Shine

 

 

Hi everyone! This lessons’ class calls for shine - bring it on!  I decided to go with a summery theme using Altenew's Daisies stencil set coupled with the retired Pocket Full of Sunshine crisp dye ink set.  To kick it up a notch, I applied Mayan Gold shimmer paste to the center of the flowers.  The paste glided on so smoothly and evenly and dried to a beautiful, textured gold. I die cut the daisy panel and gold backing using oval stitched dies and stacked them on green textured paper.  My friends are celebrating their wedding anniversary, and I thought this would make the perfect card.  So I pulled "Celebrate" from Altenew's Scripted Sentiments set and framed it at the bottom of the card. I didn't to hide any of these beautiful daisies. This was a fun, simple card and I really enjoyed making it.  Till next time!

#3 AECP For the Guys

Image
Hi everyone, thanks so much for dropping by! Today's card topic is "For the Guys". I started with stamping and clear heat embossing Roaming Pandas . The panda's came out nice and shiny and the pigment ink won't smear because heat embossing seals the ink tight. To have options, I used embossing folder and stencil set Bamboo Branches on white and green panels. I ended up making cards from both! I ink-blended the stencil using Tropical Forest Crisp die ink. The white panel is bright and colorful and the green panel is beautifully subtle. Which do you like best?

#1 AECP - All About Layering 3

Image
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!
