AECP - Easy Ink Blending Techniques

As you can see by my sidebar, I have been accepted into the Altenew Educator Certification Program. I am so excited to be part of this program.  I have completed my first course in the program: "Easy Ink Blending Techniques. For the card I am sharing with you today, I used concepts from two of the classes within this course. The classes that I utilized were Basic  Ink-Blended Background and Adding Details to Ink Blending. 

I used Altenew's Persian Motifs stamp set for the focal point of my card. I colored it with Copics (Y13, Y17, Y18, YG61, YG67). I then cut it out on my Scan-n-Cut. 

Using Neenah Solar White Super Smooth Cardstock I created my background by blending three different Altenew inks: Bamboo, Buttercream, and Warm Sunshine. I then used Altenew Almond Butter, Hazelnut, and Vanilla Cream in the same blending technique for my next layer. After the inks were blended, I used the same inks with a finger dauber to create a bokeh look. 

I then layered 3 consecutive dies from the Gina Marie Oval In & Out die set to create my two pieces which frame the focal point. I cut the outer ring 3 times and layered them together to provide more dimension to the frame. The flower was adhered using foam tape. 

I then used the Hazelnut ink to provide the background for the Happy Birthday. The sentiment was also from the Persian Motifs stamp set. I hand cut the sentiment using mini scallop scissors. 

Sequins were added to finish the project. 

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Welcome to the CAS entry for the Outlawz blog hop. I colored my image with copics and added Nuvo crystal shimmer onto the flower petals. Thanks for stopping by.

Something New

This week at The Outlawz, the Sunday CAS challenge was to use something new. The dog stamp is a new stamp I acquired from Whipper Snapper stamps. I colored it with copics and then went to my stash of old paper and found the DP I used for the card. Thanks for looking.

Vintage

The final challenge on New Year's Day was to make a vintage card. I used Graphic 45 paper for this card. I added flowers, buttons, and lace for my vintage feel.

Just pretty

This card was designed for a challenge to use your favorite college teams colors. OK, I don't have a favorite college team. So, I used the colors of the individual who posted the challenge. I have no idea of what school this represents. The doily was made with a Tim Holtz die using printed tissue paper. The flowers are a Penny Black die.

Think Pink

The challenge for this card was to use pink. I think I accomplished the goal!

I wuff you

This cute little dog was the focus of a challenge to use cats or dogs on your card.
