An Exciting Adventure!

I’m so very excited to say that I’ve been accepted into the most recent group for the Altenew Educator Certification Program. After my first class in Layering, these are the 5 cards I created while playing with my various sets of layering stamps.

Altenew really excels at floral layering sets. They have such a wide variety of styles and designs. The stamp set for this card is Vintage Flowers from Altenew. The Bold Thanks die set and inks are as well. The sentiment is cut from Gold metallic paper from Recollections and the shadow layer from their 29lb vellum

For this card I was happily practicing and playing with colour combinations and was so happy with my ‘practice piece’ I had to make it into a card. This is also the Altenew Vintage Flowers stamp set and inks. The Sentiment is the Happy Birthday Brush Script from Simon Says Stamp with a Bronze metallic paper from Recollection with a shadow of their velum as well.

The last two are done with the Altenew Build-a-Flower: Anemone Coronaria stamp set & inks. The first sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio and the second from Simon Says Stamp.

All these cards are a standard A2 top fold base made with Accent Opaque 100lb. The front panels are all done on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb. The splatters are made with a Jen Hadfield gold glitter spray, Pewter and Perfect Bronze Perfect Pearls mixed with a bit of water. I let the cards dry a bit between splatters to keep the colours from mixing up too much.
