Today's post is another one showcasing some of the work I am doing for the Altenew Educators Certification program. My first card is using the Scribbled Flowers stamp and matching die set as used in lesson 2:
I started this card by using a stencil on some stamping card for my background. I then stamped the flowers and leaves, using 2 layers for the larger flower and layering the centers in to the smaller flowers. These were then die cut ready to be arranged on my card.
My 41/4 x51/2in card base was matted with coordinating cardstock and the stenciled topper. I arranged my flowers and leaves then adhered them in multiple heights with foam tape. I stamped a couple of leaves in a darker shade of green directly onto the card.
The sentiment, which is from the same stamp set, was stamped in black ink and I added a few different sized clear enamel dots to finish the design
My Second card was from lesson 3 and I have used the Vintage Roses Stamp set:
I started this card with a blank 4 x 51/4in stamping card. I stamped a few sizes of the layered roses and leaves to design a background effect. I then matted this on to a black 41/4 x 5/1/2in card base. I stamped out my sentiment using black ink and then used my scan n cut to cut this out along with 3 more just using white card stock. These were then stacked together giving my dimension to my sentiment.
I finished the card with a scattering of iridescent gems.
