Altenew Journey: All About Layering 1 – Lesson 2

The second card I used the beautiful Altenew Antique Roses.  For this card, I wanted to show the wonderful dimension you get when you stamp some of the images onto the cardstock and others are die-cuts.  I added further dimension with the addition of foam tape to the purple flower.  That gives three levels of dimension on one card!  Such a simple process to get an amazing result.  For my ink selection this time I used two different families.  The smaller roses were stamped with the Glacier Caves family.  I used all four inks in this family:  Arctic, Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue and Sapphire.  Blue is my absolute favorite color, so this is one family you will see a lot!  I have to fight not to use it on every project, lol!  My large beautiful Rose was stamped with the Enchanted Garden Family:  Wisteria, Hydrangea, Ultraviolet, and Andromeda.  My leaves were stamped with my favorite green family, Green Fields:  Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, and Evergreen.  The sentiment is from another wonderful Altenew set Playful Blooms.  I will definitely be using the flowers in this set in an upcoming project.  I loved the way the silver embossing powder gave a special feel to the card.  I also added three sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  I am not great at adding sequins yet, but I’m trying to get better.  That is one of the wonderful things I have found already with the AECP program.  I’m trying new things with guidance from professionals in our field.  Hopefully, after seeing this card, you will try it as well!
