Altenew All About Layering 3 - Watercolor Extravaganza

-

 Hello, I created this card for the AECP All About Layering 3 class.

Altenew products used to create this card include:

  • Watercolor Extravaganza Stamp and Die Sets
  • Fresh Dye Inks in: Strawberry, Dusty Pink, Blush Rose, Oak Moss, Misty Sage, Golden Honeycomb, Amber Blaze, Melted Butterscotch and Cloudy Sky
  • Altenew Gem Sparkles in Crystal Clear

Other products used:

  • Versafine Onyx Black Pigment Ink
  • Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb. Cardstock

I started by stamping the largest floral base, marked as A1 in the stamp set, with Strawberry Fresh Dye Ink.



I followed the layering guide that is included with the stamp set and stamped Layer A2 with Dusty Pink Ink


I continued with Layer A3 and stamped it with Blush Rose Ink.


I stamped Layer A4 with Golden Honeycomb Ink



Then Layer A5 with Melted Butterscotch Ink

Finally, I stamped layer A6 with Amber Blaze Ink.




I also stamped the largest leaves in the set with Green Opal Ink two times and another leaf cluster with Swamp Green Ink three times.

I used the coordinating dies to cut out the flower and the leaves.

I trimmed a piece of white cardstock down to 3.875" x 5.125" and did some light ink blending with the Cloudy Sky Ink on a diagonal from the lower right hand corner up towards the center.

To assemble the card, I stamped the sentiment in the upper left section with Versafine Black Onyx Ink.  I arranged the flower with the leaves on a diagonal so the blue is showing below the flower and leaves and fading to white above them.  The floral arrangement was adhered with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.  Finally, I adhered this panel to an A2 size card base with foam tape and added some Crystal Clear Gem Sparkles to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Memory Box Cauldron Witch

  Hello!     Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card I created with the Cauldron Witch and Fancy Gate Globe Dies from Memory Box.   To create the gate, I sprayed some Iron Gate Distress Mica Stain on a piece of black cardstock.  After it was dry I used the Fancy Gate Globe Die from Memory Box to cut it out.  Note: I used a lightweight black cardstock for the gate.  I recommend using a heavier weight cardstock so the gate won't be flimsy.   For the wall background I cut a piece of light gray cardstock down to 4.125” x 5.375”.  I used the “Small Brick Wall” stencil from My Favorite Things and ink blended some Lost Shadow Distress Ink on the gray cardstock.   I adhered the gate to the cardstock wall, about .5” up from the bottom.  I used Eclipse Masking paper to mask off the sides and I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to give the appearance of a path leading up to the gate.  I also put the stencil down again ...
