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

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 ...
