While I still have some difficulties navigating the Altenew Academy I am pleased, that with the assistance and patience of my mentor Erum Tasneem, I am doing much better and am back on track and pleased to show my latest class project.
I was so pleased that the stamp and die set in the lesson used a set that I purchased years ago when I first learned of ALTENEW. Although our lessons do not require us to use the same design used there, I really wanted to try this one. I'm so glad that I did.
The set is Peony Bouquet and you can see by the discoloration of the stamps that it is well loved !
My first effort in making this card was going well until I felt the need to re-stamp the outline but missed the mark.
Then I realized I didn't like the ink colors I had chosen. I had used Grapevine for the outline and felt it was too dark for the look I wanted.
So the third time was the charm!
Still using the Red Cosmos set
I used the Ruby Red for the outline stamp and the intricate detail
and Frosty Pink for the petals
For the leaves I used Evergreen and Forest Glades
from the Altenew Green Fields set.
The sentiment is from the Altenew I Adore You stamp set.
