Altenew-All About Layering 2

 

Hello. Today's card is all about stamp layering inspired by the Altenew Academy, All About Layering 2 class.

I used the Altenew Build-A-Flower Balloon Flower stamp set with its coordinating dies. I first stamped my image using dye inks for each of the layering pieces. Once the images were stamped, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I arranged the images to my liking and used low tack tape to hold the images together. 

Before working on my background, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom right corner of the card. 

For the background, I used the Altenew metallic watercolor pallet to create shimmery splatters. Once the watercolor was finished drying, I adhered the flowers and leaves to the center of the card and removed the low tack tape that was temporarily holding the images together.

I hope you enjoyed today's clean and simple card, bye.

Altenew- Irresistible Ink Techniques

Hello. Today's card was inspired by the Altenew Irresistible Ink Technique class. 

Today's clean and simple card was created using the Ink Smooshing Technique. To achieve this technique all you need is a few dye inks, water, water brush, heat tool and a craft mat or a glass media mat. 

Apply your ink to your media mat along with a few water drops. Using a water brush, lightly mix the ink into the water. Once the colors are mixed to your liking, take your card stock and lay it directly into the mixed media. Let it sit for a few seconds before picking up the card stock. Keep applying the media until the panel is completely covered. Between ink layers,  make sure to dry the panel with your heat tool to keep the paper from becoming overly saturated.

After the panel was completely dried, I die cut the center image from the Altenew Monstera 3D Die Set. I die cut the images a few times and layered them together for added dimension. 

After I adhered the imaged to the center panel, I cut a few strands of blue twine and added them to the corners of the card. 

I finished the card using some Pretty Pink Posh jewels for added sparkle.

 

Altenew-Easy Die Cutting Techniques

Hello and welcome!  Today's card is inspired by the Altenew Academy class, Easy Die Cutting Techniques. 

Today is all about the quick and simple inlay die cutting technique. To achieve this technique, all you need is a stamp and the coordinating die. I decided to use the Altenew Dotted Blooms stamp set and  coordinating die. 

I started my card by stamping my image and once the image has been stamped and colored, I used the die to cut it out. Using the same die I cut the center of my card stock along with the layering panels. Make sure the card is in the open position before running it through your die cut machine. If you do not open your card, the image will cut through the front and back of the card.  

I used a dotted embossing folder to add texture to the card. Using the Altenew Hello die, I cut two words and slightly offset them for a shadow effect. 

To finish the card, I added a few jewels for some added sparkle.

 

Altenew: Celebration Stencil Techniques

Hello. Today's inspiration comes from the Altenew Academy Class, Celebrate Stencil Techniques.

Using the Altenew Stonewall stencil, I applied a layer of Ranger Texture Paste. Once the paste was finished drying, I applied Altenew metallic watercolor to give the stones a more rustic look.

Keeping the card clean and simple, I used the Altenew Thank You die set and inlayed the sentiment into the stonewall panel.

To finish the card I added some clear sequins for added sparkle.

 

Altenew: Seasonal Scene Building

Hello and welcome! Today I am sharing a card inspired by the Altenew Academy class: Seasonal Scene Building. 

I wanted my scene to convey the feeling of being outside and looking through a window.

I started out with a brick stencil and grey dye ink for the background. Once my  ink blending was finished, I placed the window die in the center of  the card and ran it through a die cut machine. I also cut another window out of woodgrain cardstock. 

Since most homes have a potted plant in the window, I decided the Altenew Monsteria 3D die set was the perfect choice. 

Using the Altenew Mariopsa die set, I cut two butterflies from glitter green card stock and adhered them to the outside of the window. 

I finished the card by adding a sentiment from the Altenew Dotted Blooms stamp set and adhered the sentiment using foam tape for added dimension.
