Eny/AECP/In The Mood For Color/Altenew

-

 


Hello everyone, 

Eny here sharing with you another project for the Altenew Academy Educators Program. Today’s featured class is In The Mood for Color, where we learned how to let each color inspire us. We learned that each color has mood, or feeling behind them, and that those can help us create some wonderful art. For this project, I used a color I never lean towards: Pink. 

I began by trimming a Neenah White Cardstock down to 3.50x9 inches. On a separate piece of white cardstock, I will be doing my stamping. I used Altenew Build-A-Flower: Hellebore, and I inked them up using Distress Oxide inks Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, and Worn Lipstick. I layer up each individual stamp, starting with the lightest color of ink (tattered rose). I add an extra detail, by applying the last layer of the image with Distress Oxide Black Soot. 


Even though we’re focusing on the color pink, I wanted the leaves to be true to color, so I used Altenew Crisp Dye Inks Firefly, Grass Fields, and Mountain Pine.

Once all images were stamped, i fussy cut each with sharp scissors. On my main panel (3.50x9), I did a few faux brush strokes using alcohol markers.


I adhered all my main components, over my brush strokes, making sure the largest flower is propped up on some foam tape, to give the card a bit of dimension. The panel was then glued over some pink cardstock, that is only about 1/8 of an inch larger. To finish my card , I used a sentiment from the Altenew Inked Flora stamp set, and added enamel dots with Nuvo drops.

I hope you enjoyed this quick walk through and showcase, and that it inspired you to create something 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
