One Layer Wonders Lesson 3

Lesson 3 - Watercolor Under Painting.  This was one of the most difficult cards for me to make!!  It looked like a hot mess!!!  None the less I persisted, set it aside to dry and I left the stamp in my MISTI, so I could stamp over the distress oxide inks when dry. This made a huge difference.I then took my Artist Markers and added some color to the image, framed it up with a copic multiliner and called it done!!

Here is the finished card. On to lesson 4

Hope you have a great day!

OLW Lesson 2

Hello!  I am back with my card from Lesson 2 of the Altenew Academy class One-layer Wonders.  In this lesson called Multicolored Stamping we had to make a card background using multicolored stamping, masking a shape and creating a label.
I picked out a rainbow of ink cubes from my stash, a background stamp, a heart die, masking paper, my Altenew Artist Markers and some sentiment stamps. Oh and my trusty MISTI!!

Voila!!  Here is my card!!

I colored in some of the diamond shapes with coordinatings markers and added shimmer on top. I must confess I totally cheated on making my own label and used the "You Rock!" from the Label Love stamp set.

I must now get to Lesson Three. Wish me luck with this one, I think I am going to need it!!

One-Layer Wonders

Hello, I hope you are all enjoying the Summer weather. Here in Canada it has been fairly warm and humid.
I started a new class over at Altenew Academy called One-layer-Wonders. Anyone who knows me knows one layer cards are not my thing. I am more of a bring on all the layers kinda person, This class is taught by Kelly Latevola.  I am obsessed with her card making skills, so I had to sign up for this class the second I saw it was available!!
So, on to the class. Lesson One, was pattern stamping and simple coloring. I watch the video, get out some stamps and I am confident I got this. Well, a few boo boos happened and I was not starting again, so I covered them with enamel dots. I think that is allowed???  My banner shadow went a little on the huge side, but I am just going with it lol. So here is my finished card.

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back with lesson 2 of this class soon.

CAS Encouragement Challenge #14

Welcome to this months Encouragement Challenge!!  This months inspiration photo is beautiful!!

I love the daisies and the colors, I did not have a daisy stamp so I used the colors as my inspiration. Sometimes as crafters things we see in our minds that do not come out as we thought it would. This is what happened to me this month. lol

Anyways, I hope you like it and also play along with our challenge, which you can find on the blog.

I used the Serendipi-tea stamp set and coordinating Fri-dies along with the Full on Floral stamp set. I was using a technique I saw on You Tube by Jennifer MacGuire that she called Stepped Back Stamping. The top panel is popped up and the images are on the card base.

I look forward to seeing all of your creations over on the challenge. Remember, there are prizes up for grabs!!
