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

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 ...
