Eny/AECP Irresistible Inking Techniques/Altenew

-


Hello everyone! I'm here once again to share a fun and bold, card I made as part of the Altenew Educator Program. This time, I took the Irresistible  Ink Techniques class, and I learned a lot of fabulous ways to use ink pads on your projects. Not just for stamping images or ink blending. For this project, I will be using a "swiping" technique, that helps create a textured look for your background.


I began by trimming a Neenah solar White 80lb cardstock to a A2 American standard card size (4.25x5.50). Using Altenew Crisp Dye  Ink color Coral Berry, pressing softly against my paper, and moving the ink pad upwards, to create the look of dry brushstrokes. I didn't take the ink pad all the way to the top of my paper, because I also wanted to create the illusion of a ombre, or gradient, look.
on another piece of white cardstock, I begin stamping my images. I used Altenew Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory stamp set. For this set, you get several stamps, that when layered, create a stunning floral image. Once i have a full background of images, i trim the paper to be at least half an inch smaller from each side, so its slightly smaller than my background. I then used a plan marker, to create a very thin border around my design.

I adhered my background to a black cardstock, and then adhered my floral design with foam tape. I always prefer layering on either side of the card base. I rarely place my imaged at the center, because I feel this gives it a little extra touch to the overall look. I then finish my card, by adding a sentiment.


I hope you enjoyed this quick "run down" on how I created this card and that it inspired you to create something wonderful today.

Happy crafting,
Eny Dunn

  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
