ALTENEW: ALL ABOUT LAYERING 1, FINAL PROJECT

I finished my cards for the Altenew Academy Level 1, All About Layering course.  I made two different cards.  I am having so much fun learning these new techniques (and bringing out techniques I haven't used in a while, like heat embossing!).  I can't wait to continue my learning journey with Altenew!

Altenew Peony Bouquet Stamp set

This set is a multi layered floral image and was perfect for this course.  This flower is made up of three different stamps that make up the one flower.  I stamped two different layers of the flower in two different orange stamp pad colors and then used the third floral image to stamp and emboss with gold glitter embossing powder.  For the background, I used two different grey stamp pad colors to stamp the various leaf layers.  This technique really makes the flower image pop!  To tie the card together, I used gold glitter embossing powder on the sentiment.

Painted Poppy Stamp Set

I wanted to make a quick Thank You card and I love the simplicity of it!!  This stamp set includes one poppy flower, so I positioned the stamp on my acrylic block to face one direction and then the other to get two different poppy images.  I then embossed the outline of the flower in black embossing powder which gives the card a little something extra.

Now, on to the next course:  All About Layering 2

It's still winter right?!

This cold weather got me thinking about this clean and simple card design.  These penguins from CTMH Winter Penguin stamp set coordinated perfectly with our Blue Belle glitter paper and glitter gems.  I also used the Blue Belle stamp pad and watercolor brush to color in parts of each card.  Love how these turned out!   Shh.. I'm going to bundle them into a card kit for my sister who loves penguins!
