Eny|AECP|Celebration: Stencil Techniques|Altenew

-


 Hello everyone!


Eny here here, once again, with another great Altenew Academy project share. The past few days I’ve been all about Stencil Techniques. I have a couple of extra designs I want to try, so make sure to follow me on my Instagram, where I’ll be sharing all my projects.

A few weeks ago, I had purchased the Cloud Stencil from Altenew, and ever since I’ve been hooked. They have a such a whispy and ethereal look to them, that adds an extra special touch to any background. Though we learned different ways to use a stencil during this class, I’m going for a bit of a classic approach. This stencil set also comes with a masking piece, which makes it easier to add details, without ruining your entire project. I first used the mask portion, and placed it over a Neenah Smooth White 80lb cardstock. I fully covered my surface with Distress Oxide Ink Tattered Rose. 



To create the darker clouds, I used the main cloud stencil piece, and Distress Oxide Ink Worn Lipstick. To really get the full effect of shade and highlight, I made sure to leave enough space between each cloud cluster. I wanted to prop up my main background on foam tape, and also give it a different look. So, I fussy cut the entire image, and them trimmed about an inch from the right side. Before adhering, I stamped these lovely flowers from the Fragile Foliage set, with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then adhered my whole piece ,with foam tape, on a A2 (4.25x5.50) standard card base. I have always been inclined to place images on the right side of my card base, and today was no different. Keeping it simple with soft colors really helps draw your eyes to the main image featured in this design.




To finish my card, I added a sentiment that is included in the Fragile Foliage set and added Nuevo Drops for a bit of sparkle and shine. I hope you enjoyed this quick process on how I put this card together. Certainly one of my new favorites I have recently made. I hope this has inspired you to create something fun today.

Have a wonderful and crafty day,
Eny Dunn

    This is a beautiful card, Eny. It has a very boutique feel to it! I also love the layout and the subtle colours you chose.
    Thank you for submitting your card to the AECP assignment gallery. Keep up the good work!

  Hello everyone! I'm back, with my final project for the Altenew Academy Level 2 classes! Todays project features techniques learned during the Masking Unleashed class. I created a fun and vibrant, yet simple card, that i hope inspires you to try out some of these techniques yourself. For this card I will be using the Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp set, as my main images. I begin by trimming a sheet of heavy weight white cardstock, down to 4.5x5.50 inches. I stamp my first flowers close to the center of the panel. I will stamp this same image, over Avery Removable Label sticker, and cut a long the silhouette to create my "mask". I remove the backing from the label, and then adhere on top of the stamped image on my panel. This allows for foreground and background details on my panel. I repeated the mask process for each flower image (or whatever image being used), so I can fully cover the images on my panel, before continuing my card. Before removing the masks, I will add co

  Hello everyone! I'm back with another Altenew Educator Program class project, and this one is by far one of my favorite classes. Not only is Therese Calvird an absolute gem of an instructor, but she made it fun and interesting with new (and some well known) techniques. I begin by trimming a heavy weight sheet of white cardstock down to 6x6 and lay the Altenew Woven Stencil right on top, and secure it with some washi tape. I will be using Distress Oxide Inks Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Seedless Preserves to transfer the stencil image on to my paper. I will go from lighest to darkest colors, making sure to blend each color as I go.  Once all the color is applied, I remove my stencil, and then trim the cardstock down to a standard A2 American size card (4.25x5.50) . Using a circle die, I will cut a portion of the left side of my panel, and I will be left with an opening or window.  Using the Altenew Crisp Dye Inks Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris and Midnight Violet ; I begi
