Eny/AECP/With a Twist/Altenew

-

 




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 begin to stamp the layering images from the Altenew Build-a-Flower: Morning Glory stamp set. I love these types of sets, because with each color combo, you truly get a different look. I decided to use soft and deep violets, to pair it with my background panel. I stamped 3 from the forward facing flower, and 2 from the profile facing flower.



I will also be stamping the leaves included in the set, using Altenew Crisp Dye Inks Shadow Creek and Grass Field. Once all images are stamped, I will fussy cut each and start assembling my cover. I have created a base that is about an eight of an inch larger than my panel, and will adhere said panel using foam tape. 

I decided to adhere all flowers, following the semi-circle from the panel. I adhere four of the flowers and all leaves with liquid glue, and the final forward facing flower I will prop up using foam tape. I finish my card by adding a sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strip stamp set, and Nuvo enamel drops.


Thank you so much for joining me on another Altenew class adventure, and I hope this inspired you to create something today!

Happy crafting,
Eny

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 ...
