Altenew Vintage Flowers

Good afternoon, Hot and humid here but nice with the air on inside!

Around 6 weeks ago I was sent an email asking if I was interested in taking part in the Altenew Educator Certification Program. Of course I was interested I LOVE Altenew stamps and their inks are amazing. I sent in my application and was accepted 😊. Then came my craft room make over so I put the classes on hold for a couple of weeks 

Now I'm fully moved in I have started the first class which is All About Layering with the lovely Nicole Picadura. Of course this focuses on lessons for Altenew's layered stamps and gives some basic stamping techniques and demonstrates ways to line up the stamps. 

My first card uses the Vintage Flowers stamp set, the flowers have either 3-4 layers to them and do look so realistic when stamped:

I used a few techniques making this card. lining up the flowers, masking off the central flower to stamp the others making it look even more dimensional and using accent flowers to fill in my design. The sentiment was from another Altenew set but fit perfectly in the space left for it.

What I used:

Floral Stamps: Altenew Vintage Flowers

Sentiment: Altenew Build a Flower Ranunculus

Stamping Card: Neenah Solar white 110lb

Pink inks: Altenew Red Cosmos Mini Cubes

Green Inks: Altenew Green Fields Mini Cubes

Yellow Inks: Altenew Summer Afternoon Mini Cubes
