Color Throwdown Challenge #489

-

Hello everyone and welcome to another Card Making post! Today I wanted to share another color Throwdown , this time with a video!
For this week's challenge the colors were Red, Green and White. With those colors we think Christmas, but truly this color combo can be used all year round.
I wanted to keep the card simple, with the focus completely on the colors. I used two sheets of my Canson Mixed Media Paper, and blended some Distress Oxide Candied Apple and Distress Ink Mowed Lawn, one color on each sheet. To add some texture, I activated the distress effect, by splattering some water over the inks, and then gently dabbing them with a power towel to pick up any excess water.
Once they were dry, I was able to cut some Stitched Heart Dies in various sizes to use for my card cover. With a simple Love sentiment on black cardstock, this card is simple, yet perfect for any occassion.
For the full tutorial and step by step details, please visit my YouTube Channel.

Happy crafting,
Eny Dunn

Altered Project AECP Final

  Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing the second part of my final project for the Level 2 classes for the Aletnew Educator Certification Program. We got tasked with Altering or Upcycling an item, and I decided to alter this wall art piece I had gottern at Target a couple of years ago. I love the look of it, and how simple it is, but I also wanted to include pops of colors found around our house. We do have a coffee station in our home, and this will be the perfect accent piece for that space. I started by applying a bit of masking tape over the bottom black portion of the circle. I decided to add some color with Apple Barrel acrylic paint in the color Laguna. It is the perfect shade of teal (in my opinion). I didn't sand the piece before hand because I will be addimng texture, but you can definitely do that if you want full coverage. Using a dry paper towel, I will go over the still wet paint, leaving behind "splotches" on the surface. This is a fun and easy way to add ...
