Altenew Level 2 Cleared and Step one for final Challenge

Hooray! I have now cleared my level 2 educator Program for Altenew and now I am here with my first card for Level 3. Fingers cross everything goes well here too.

Today I am sharing a card where I learned a very cool technique of calling it One layer wonder from The Altenew Academy taught by wonderful Kelly Latevola. Wow the effects are so effective that it looks like I have put different layers on my card but infarct no layers on it and vola! you are done with your card. 

Here is what I created.

For my card base I have used neenah solar white. I have used my pattern play circle stamp and Pin strip stamps for my backgrounds. 

Once that is heat embossed then I masked both top and bottom again to stamp my Circle pattern for the middle using Altenew jet black Ink pad.

First, I used masking technique to mask my middle space and stamp with my versamark and pin strip stamps using Gold embossing powder. 

Once that is heat embossed then I masked both top and bottom again to stamp my Circle pattern for the middle using Altenew jet black Ink pad. I have also used the different circle shapes from circle pattern Stamp to fill my colours in the random circles (blue and pink).

Here is the trick now. For having a raised look ( between pin strip stamp and circle patterns) I have used Altenew Artist marker Morning frost and Evening Grey to create a shadow effect. So that it looks like there is a layer on top of the base.

Now coming on to the sentiments. Trust me I have not used any black paper on it . I have created a black background using my Jet black Artist markers and coloured it whole. Then I used one of the sentiments from Pin Strip Stamp and heat embossed white.

I have used few water drops to finish my card.

Hope you all like it and will try this wonderful technique somewhere on your cards.
