Embossing Folder Cards and Few Backgrounds

Hello Card makers and Bloggers

Its been a long time since I wrote my last blog. Was so busy after my Altenew Educator Program which I cleared in July. Yes you heard me right !! Finally I am a FIRST Australian Certified educator for Altenew . Yahoo!! I am very excited. 

Now coming back to the topic. This time my blog is not about Altenew creation. Or you can say I have used some of the products from Altenew like their inks and sentiments to make few of my cards, but I had few Crafters Companions embossing Folders sitting with me so I though lets get some inspirations and spread some inspiration.

I have also followed Jennifer Mcguire for inspirations.

So here are few of the things I made:

I will try and Explain what I did with each of them one by one.

The one I took the Crafters Compaion Indian Summer 3D Embossing Folder and Altenew inks.

The Next one is the Crafts Companion Floral Fusion Along with Finnabair Metalic wax and Altenew Ink.

This one is just on white with Flourishing Frames 

Trust me this was white paper and I have used crafters Companion Zen Garden , Redesign Wax along with picket fence blending brush

The Next one is my favorite and this Embossing folder is In the Garden 

Spreading some love with Love Blossom 

Now coming onto come cards which I have created 

You can see the cards which I have made are with some of the folders which I have shown above. The Sentiments used on the cards are from Altenew.

Hope you all like it.

Thanks

Altenew Creative Watercolor Media

Wow ! finally onto my last card for my level 2 Altenew Educator Program.

Today I am sharing the card which I created after learning from the Guru's of Altenew Jennifer Rzasa, Debby Hughes, and Laura Bassen. Wow their online class Creative water color media is just amazing.

So many different ways you can color your images by just using Altenew's ink pads or re-inkers .. yes I am right just re-inkers.

At the end of this blog post I have also attached a small experiment I did with my re-inkers. O what a fun!

So here I am with my Card where I have used Canson watercolor Paper , Peach perfect re-inker for my background and flowers from Altenew Disty Print Stamp. Images are colored using ink pads and water brush pen.

For my Background ,I took a piece of canson cardstock. Then I took out few drops of re-inker on my Glass media mat and sprayed water over re-inker drops . With the help of a water brush pen I tried to lift and dabbed the ink on my paper gently everywhere (I had sparyed lots of water on my mat over the reinker drops) as I wanted a very light colour for my background.

Ones the background is dry I used a gold embossing powder to heat emboss my Ditsy print stamped images.

For colouring my leaves and flowers I firstly dabbed a colour on the mat and then picked them up with my water brush pen to paint my flowers.

Now my sentiments are from halftone everything stamp and dies where I used a royal blue cardstock along with white to cut them out and used foam tape to adhere them . From the same coordinating stamp set , I have also stamped "Thanks for" with Persian blue ink pad .

Last part of the card was a bit of enhancing my flower center which I did with some diamonds lying in my stash.

Hope you all liked it . 

Oh! before I forget , here is my experimented work or you can say a background I created with the re-inker on a glossy card stock.

Hope you all like it. 

Please don't forget to leave me a comment as its boosts my morale to create more for sure.

Take Care

Altenew With a twist

Coming back to home, after having a nice break is certainly is relaxing !

2019 has arrived and first month is already gone. Time is running so fast isn't it? 

Now coming back to my Altenew's world of Creation. This card is about a twist techniques which I have learned from the beautiful instructor Therese Calvird .

 I have created a Birthday card using Altenew Dearest Friend Stamp and Dies by trying to do a unusual cut on my card.

In this, my base card is using Neenah Solar white cardstock along with Vellum (on which you can see the sentiment) and Blue colour cardstock.

I first stamped my flower image seperatly on the canson watercolor cardstock and then die cut it along with the few seperate leaves which were provided in the set. For coloring I have used my Zig Clean real brush markers.

Now coming on to the background. I simply took the leaf stamp from the set and randomly stamped them on neenah solar white with my versamark ink pad and then used white embossing powder to heat set. Once its cooled down I took my picket fence Life changing Blending brush along with Tim Holtz Salty ocean Distress ink for my background blending on top of the embossed leafs.

Once the background is done I simply cut it in two parts and matt it with blue cardstock as well as sticking both pieces on vellum as a base.

I took my stamped flower image and stuck it on the side of the card in between both the pieces with the double sided foam dots and stuck all my extra leaves underneath giving it more greenery.

Then I added the sentiment from the Stamp set called Birthday Builder stamp set with my Staz on Ink.

For the middle of the flower which I was bit hesitant in coloring so I used Nuvo Glitter drop white to finish my card.

Hope you all like what I created.

Look forward to see your beautiful Comments.
