Building backgrounds

Altenew class on beyond basic backgrounds

Picture
So it begins...moving onto level 2 of the Altenew Educator Certification Program. I’m really enjoying how these classes are providing such interesting challenges that are pushing me to rethink how I use my current supplies. The class, Beyond Basic Backgrounds, had a lot of different ideas in building backgrounds using stamps, foil, inks, bleaching and dies that I was inspired to try a few ideas. In this card, I built a background using the Altenew warped speed stencil and gold transfer foil. Read along for the process of making this card.

AECP class: Celebration Stencils

Today on the blog, I am using Altenew Layered Stencils to create unique looks to cards. I am using different blends of ink, texture paste and DecoFoil Transfer Gel. I love how the layered stencils give such a realistic impression. Please read on for how I accomplished each of these looks and tricks and tips I learned along the way.

Let it shine

AECP class on using shiny elements to a card

For the next class in the Altenew educator program, Let it shine, the instructor introduced a lot of ways to add shine to a card. The class inspired me to try a few different elements to add shine including: heat embossing, adding foil with tape and glitter. I noticed that all the card examples were very clean and simple with a lot of white to balance the metallic elements on the example cards. For the card I made, I used Altenew’s Vintage Teacup Stamp set. This is a layering stamp set with a lot of cute coordinating sentiments. Please read on for how I assembled this card.
