AECP – Masking Unleashed

Hello!!  So glad to see you today!

Today’s card is based on the classes from AECP – Masking Unleashed.

I used two different stamp sets for this card.  A retired stamp set from Altenew called Tulip and another stamp set called Versatile Vases.

I stamped out the tulip images and some of the leaves onto masking paper using Altenew – Permanent Black ink..

Then fussy cut them out staying close to the black stamped lines.  These will be my masks for the layers of stamping.  I needed more than I originally created so I stamped more tulips and one of the vase as well in green ink.

I tested out several ink combinations for my tulips as I wanted 3 to 4 different colored flowers in my vase.

I created a template for my stamping on a plain piece of paper and tested the placement.

Placing the template into the Misti stamping tool I set the bottom stamp later in position on the template.  Closed the door and picked up the stamp, removed the template and placed down my card stock piece.  Inked and stamped that bottom stamp.

Then lined up the detail stamp on the bottom stamped layer.  Ink and stamp the detail, repeat that for the other flowers.  I also placed the mask for the outer edge of the vase.

Once most of the flowers were stamped, I add the masks and begin stamping the leaves and stems.

Placing more masks I added an additional flower in the back at the top that would be behind a leaf.

After removing the flower masks.

I added a large piece of masking paper to create the table line at the bottom adding a bit of color from a blending brush.  I also added a bit of Altenew Fresh Dye Ink – Arctic to the vase to add water in the vase.

I cropped the image down and adhered it to an A2 sized card base from kraft card stock.

Stamped the “hello” from the Versatile Vases stamp set onto light blue card stock to create a sentiment strip, added some foam tape and adhered it to the card front.

Then finished it off with some colored gems.  It turned out more with a  watercolor look than I had planned.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Hope you liked this card.

AECP – Beyond Basic Backgrounds

Welcome Back!!

Today is the beginning of my Level 2 journey.

This set of courses centered on making different backgrounds using non-traditional methods.  I learned something from every lesson.  I chose to make a background using the Altenew – Mini Delight: Strength stamp and die set.  I really like the feather image and the sentiment.

I repeatedly cut the feather image out of a 4.25″ x 5.5″ A2 white card panel.  I placed a new white cardstock panel of the same size in my Misti and placed the cut panel on top.  I then lined up the feather stamp through the cut panel onto the full panel below.   I stamped the feather image with black ink into every cut opening.  I smushed some of Altenew’s Fresh Dye Inks – Teal Cave and Aqualicious onto my glass mat and using water brush I colored the images.

Using a combination of the two inks, I splattered the top cut layer.  The after adding dimensional foam to the back of the cut layer I adhered the two layers together.  Adding a few colored sequins for a bit of sparkle.

I hope you liked todays card.  I look forward to see you again very soon.  Have a great day.
