Hello!
The next course for my AECP certification is All About Layering 7. These were very interesting classes and I learned a lot. Using ink blending, water color, embossing folders, colored pencils, alcohol markers, embellishments, etc. you can add beautiful layers to your projects.
I chose Altenew’s Craft Your Life Set – Illuminated Scenes for this project. This set took me way out of my comfort zone. It is intended to be a single layer card and is a beautiful set to work with, but I wanted to add layers.
I stamped the image on white cardstock with black ink.
The set includes stencils to color the components and create illumination of a portion of the image.
I worked through each stencil and added a little bit of darker shading in areas of the images. The inks used were Altenew Fresh Dye Ink – Fresh Lemon on the window and some pink left in a blending brush, Wisteria and Ultraviolet on the pillows and Mocha and Fresh Lemon on the planter.
I continued working through the stencils and masking off sections so I did not over blend the ink.
I blended a bit of Altenew Fresh Dye Ink – Silver Stone onto the blanket and then wanted to try a technique I saw Jen Raza use on a live a few weeks ago. I masked everything off and using Altenew Shimmer Paste – Pearl, I added it to the image but made it textured so it looked like the blanket.
I really liked how it turned out. Thanks Jen!! I added Glossy Accents to the windows to make them look shiny like glass. I then fussy cut around the image to add more dimension.
Using colored pencils I added a bit of shading to the pillows, the couch, the table, the tray, the book and the planter.
Using a fine liner black marker I added a few lines on the blanket to create the folds in the material.
I added foam tape to the cutout image and added it to a white cardstock panel.
After masking off the image, I added just a bit of ink blending on the edges of the panel with Altenew Fresh Dye – Caribbean Sky ink and a large blending brush.
Then using Altenew Carbon Black Gauche, some water and a stamping block, I added splatter.
The fan brush worked well as I wanted fine splatter.
I also did a fine mist of shimmer spray for a bit of sparkle.
I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5.25″ and added it to a black A2 sized card base.
I finished it with a sentiment from the stamp set and added dimension, as well as a few teal gems.
I hope you liked the card and look forward to seeing you again soon.
