Altenew All About Layering Lesson3

Some time ago I recieved the Altenew Mini Delight Poppy Stamp and Die set as a gift with a purchase and  The All About Layering Lesson 3 was a perfect opportunity for using this set

Using a mask on the center flower I then stamped the two side flowers. Masking makes placement so easy. 

Flowers and Leaves were stamped with mini crisp inks in Ruby Red, Coral Berry, Chamomile, and Frayed Leaf

                                                                          

 

All Finished

ALTENEW All About Layering 1 Lesson 2

 I wish I had all of the stamps and dies used in the Altenew Academy lessons so that I could exactly replicate what is being taught. However, by not having them I am forced to develop a creative attitude and am finding a creative bent that I have not previously developed. 

So, having said that, here is my version of lesson two :

I used the Altenew Vintage Roses stamp and die sets for the flowers

Pocket full of Sunshine

Golden Sunset

Red Cosmos and

 Green Fields  Altenew mini cube inks for the colored flowers and leaves and 

Warm Gray mini cubes for the shadow layer

Altenew Moroccan Lattice Cover Die

and Altenew Fancy Thanks Die

Although I make a lot of cards I don't consider myself artistic or even very creative. Most of what I make is inspired by the work of others. However, when deciding how to embellish this card, I was inspired to create a shadow layer of the main embellishment and placed it behind the cover die to enhance the three dimensional effect. I am so pleased with the result.

First Altenew Academy Assignment

 My classes finally downloaded and I took my first lesson. I was so excited to get started that as soon as I completed the lesson I dove right into doing the assignment. 

I used some elements from the Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set and stamped them randomly on white card stock using colors from  the Red Cosmos and Green Fields cube dye ink sets. Backed with red card stock and adhered to white A2 size card.

                               I used gold Wink of Stella to enhance the open leaf stamps

I stamped the sentiment on white card stock with Ruby Red Crisp Ink 

from Red Cosmos Cube Ink Set and backed with red card stock.

This was a very different style for me

 and I enjoyed the process and 

am so pleased with the results. 

I hope you like it also.
