ALTENEW: BEAUTIFUL DETAILS, FINAL PROJECT

I really enjoyed this class because there were several tips on adding beautiful details to your cards (e.g. using a light color to create a shaded area behind your stamped images, splattering ink very softly onto the card, using embossing powder to stamp on watercolor paper provides a crisper, more arty look, adding tiny embellishments).

For these cards, I used the Garden Rose stamp set included in the Craft Your Life Project Kit. This is quickly becoming another one of my favorite Altenew stamp sets.

Stamp Sets used:

Garden Rose

Sentiments/Quotes

Steps:

• Using a blender brush, create shading behind the stamped images with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink
• Stamp several roses and leaves on watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx ink and VersaMark and sprinkle with clear and gold embossing powder
• With Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink + water, use a brush to create splatter on the card base as well as added a little bit of color to the roses
• Stamp sentiment on top portion of the card
• Using double sided foam tape, position roses on top of leafs
• Embellish with clear dots

Steps:

• Using a light grey ink pad, I stamped the leafs onto the card base
• I stamped, using 2 shades of blue ink, the rose and then die cut it out
• Using masking tape, I created a blue shaded border on the right side of the card
• I used a thin strip of black glitter paper and adhered it next to the shaded area
• I popped up the rose with double-sided foam tape
• Added more details to the leaf images using a grey alcohol marker
• Stamped the sentiment along the top portion of the card
• Embellished with tiny dots
