Altenew as Easy as ABC with Therese Calvird

An amazing month of April started with Altenew class in Melbourne with Tasnim and Therese. Finally I got to meet them in person.

Now coming to my second last lesson for AECP. For this lesson I took Therese Calvird class at the Academy called Easy as ABC. 

The Lesson was all about to make the best use of your Alphabet stamp and Dies. With the help of Therese Video here is what I have created.

For this card I have used Botanical You stamp set. And for making the best use of this stamp, I have used all the sentiments which were in this stamp set. Created my background with heat embossing. I have also used the layering word "you"  with heat embossing.

After finishing my heat embossing I have used Picket fence Blending brush to do my background . I have used the ink pads from Altenew which are lagoon, Volcano lake, and Mountain Mist.

After completing I die cut out my word 'You' from the base base cardstock as well as the leafy YOU with the help of the coordinating dies. I mounted the leafy YOU with the foam to give extra dimensions so that they look like popped out from the base.  

To finish my card I added a strip of sentiment heat embossed again on a black strip.

Hoping to finish my last lessons soon with my AECP.

Altenew Magical Markers

Before I started this card I was very scared as I am not at all a colouring girl.

When it comes to coloring with alcohol markers I am one step back. But in the class with Sara Naumann , she made it look so simple to work with the Alcohol markers that I have given my try to it and vola!! I really liked my card.  So below is my work with the makers.

She  told us about various ways in which we can make use of our alcohol markers, So I have used them on Vellum.

I have cut a card base out from Neenah solar white in a size of 4 1/4' x 11'  and scored at 5 1/2' and another piece of vellum , cut to a size of 4 1/4' x 5 1/2'.  I have used Altenew Bamboo Rose stamp set  and heat embossed it using white embossing powder on vellum.

Then I used Altenew Marker R304 and R335 for flowers and G715 and G554 for leaves . 

For my flowers and leaves I have coloured on the other side of embossed side and used the pouncing technique to colour them.  

Now I took the vellum which I just colored and stick on to the card base. I have used the sentiment from the same stamp set and stamped on  a white flag strip, giving it a black shadow with a black cardstock strip.

Hope you all like it.
