Welcome Back!!
Today’s class is Polychromatic, which means of two or more colors; multi-colored. I am very excited about this class. My mind immediately went to butterflies and flowers using two specific Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kits: Butterfly Garden and Seasonal Blooms. These are both amazing and beautiful kits.
I used the stencils to color blend the butterflies from the kit with Altenew Fresh Dye Inks: Persian Blue, Caribbean Sky, Sapphire, Blush Rose, Mauve Toasted Mauve, Dew Drop, Aqualicious, Alpine Aster, Water Hyacinth and Alpine Aster. The kit includes a Zero-Waste die to cut out the entire background. I colored the flowers from the Seasonal Blooms using the stamp and stencils from the set, then cut them out using the die from the set.
Using an Altenew Large Blending Brush I ink blended using Arctic Fresh Dye Ink on a 5.25″ x 6″ card base. This is a non-standard size but I wanted lots of room for the flowers and butterflies on this card. I then ink splattered using Altenew Metallic Watercolor using Topaz.
I put the card base and all the pieces in my Misti to see how I wanted everything to be arranged and where I thought the sentiment would fit.
Using glue and dimensional foam tape I added everything at different heights.
I also added a couple Pinkfresh Studio glitter dots to add a bit more dimension and interest.
Using color is so much fun and in these winter months a bit of Spring makes me smile.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a fantastic day. Thank you for stopping by.
Susan, this is a beautiful summer afternoon scene I would love to encounter in real life! The Seasonal Blooms is one of my all time favorite sets for sure, the January CYLK is on my wish list too. I love every detail and your fabulous inking application. You did a fantastic job creating this card. TFS!
Thank you.
Gorgeous card!
