Altenew Creative Watercolor Media

Altenew Creative Watercolor Media

Hi Everyone,
Today I am here to show one more project for Altenew. For this purpose I have selected another one of my favorite Class Creative watercolour Media.
For this project I wanted to try and improve my coloring techniques by using the Altenew Watercolour Palette and Altenew Water brush Pens.
I have used the stamp sets Build-A-Flower: Anemone Coronaria and for the sentiment I chose my "happy" word from the Script Words 2. " for you" is from the halftone happy stamp set.

Basic Techniques and Process for making this Card:

  • For making this card , I have used the basic technique of masking.
  • First I planned how many flowers I want on the top and then stamped them randomly on my strathmore Watercolor Paper Cold press using distress ink Antique Linen.
  • Once I have got my top flowers I masked them with the flowers which I got by stamping them on a paper separately and fussy cutting them out as I wanted no white background in the flowers.
  • I have done the same techniques for the leaves as well and masked few to see the over lapping ones coming underneath the flowers.
  • After I was happy with my stamped images I started my coloring process.
  • Foremost I did a brown water wash outside my outline images. So spreading the brown outline with more water.
  • Then slowly and patiently I started doing every alternate petal at a time so that they are not wet as when I do the petal in between the two I did before.
  • For the middle of the flowers I did black dots with watercolor.
  • For a bit of enhancement I also splattered some white with my brush.
  • My sentiment "happy" was cut two times on white card stock and 1 pcs in gold glitter card stock to have a raised effect.
  • "for you" I stamped with the Altenew New Antique Gold Pigment Ink on a black card stock.

Its amazing when you are challenged with something out of your comfort zone and try something new. I really would like to Thank Virginia and Erum for their support and love.
I look forward to create more and present myself more under their beautiful guidance.
Hope you all like it.

Regards

Altenew Magical Markers

Altenew Magical Markers

Before I started this card I was very scared as I am not at all a colouring girl.
When it comes to coloring with alcohol markers I am one step back. But in the class with Sara Naumann , she made it look so simple to work with the Alcohol markers that I have given my try to it and vola!! I really liked my card. So below is my work with the makers.

She told us about various ways in which we can make use of our alcohol markers, So I have used them on Vellum.

I have cut a card base out from Neenah solar white in a size of 4 1/4' x 11' and scored at 5 1/2' and another piece of vellum , cut to a size of 4 1/4' x 5 1/2'. I have used Altenew Bamboo Rose stamp set and heat embossed it using white embossing powder on vellum.

Then I used Altenew Marker R304 and R335 for flowers and G715 and G554 for leaves .
For my flowers and leaves I have coloured on the other side of embossed side and used the pouncing technique to colour them.

Now I took the vellum which I just colored and stick on to the card base. I have used the sentiment from the same stamp set and stamped on a white flag strip, giving it a black shadow with a black cardstock strip.
Hope you all like it.

Altenew With a twist

Altenew With a twist

Coming back to home, after having a nice break is certainly is relaxing !
2019 has arrived and first month is already gone. Time is running so fast isn't it?
Now coming back to my Altenew's world of Creation. This card is about a twist techniques which I have learned from the beautiful instructor Therese Calvird .
I have created a Birthday card using Altenew Dearest Friend Stamp and Dies by trying to do a unusual cut on my card.

In this, my base card is using Neenah Solar white cardstock along with Vellum (on which you can see the sentiment) and Blue colour cardstock.
I first stamped my flower image seperatly on the canson watercolor cardstock and then die cut it along with the few seperate leaves which were provided in the set. For coloring I have used my Zig Clean real brush markers.
Now coming on to the background. I simply took the leaf stamp from the set and randomly stamped them on neenah solar white with my versamark ink pad and then used white embossing powder to heat set. Once its cooled down I took my picket fence Life changing Blending brush along with Tim Holtz Salty ocean Distress ink for my background blending on top of the embossed leafs.
Once the background is done I simply cut it in two parts and matt it with blue cardstock as well as sticking both pieces on vellum as a base.

I took my stamped flower image and stuck it on the side of the card in between both the pieces with the double sided foam dots and stuck all my extra leaves underneath giving it more greenery.
Then I added the sentiment from the Stamp set called Birthday Builder stamp set with my Staz on Ink.

For the middle of the flower which I was bit hesitant in coloring so I used Nuvo Glitter drop white to finish my card.
Hope you all like what I created.
Look forward to see your beautiful Comments.

Altenew Beyond Basic Backgrounds

Altenew Beyond Basic Backgrounds

Hello Everyone,
Its me , Yes I am back again with my Altenew Journey . A bit of gap and busy with my craft show here in Brisbane kept me away from creating. Now here I am with my another card.

In this card I have used the Altenew Starry flower along with its matching dies. Word Thank you is also used from one of the Altenew Thank you dies. The starry flower was also embossed with the white Embossing powered and flower centers are done with nuvo drops.
The Inks which I have used are the new release from the Altenew called the Enchanted Garden Mini Cube Set. I have also scored on my background cardstock to enhance it.
Hope you all like it.regardsNeha

DT Tracey....Stencils

Hey Everyone, I'm back to share another project using "Stencils"........which is our theme for the month.
I have used "Altenew Floral Drape" Stencil to create the background on this layout. It is the same stencil I used on the card I shared a few weeks ago.
Its been a lot time since I created a double page layout!
I used a dauber and chalk inks to add colour to the stencil. The Pretty flowers and leaves are from "Altenew Beautiful day" stamp set. I only used the outline stamp .........I then used an aqua brush and Gelatos to create a soft water colour effect to colour in. A few colour shine spatters, a sprinkle of sequins, wood veneer butterflies, and doilies with a tiny heart button...........lots of my favorite bits and pieces
Happy Crafting x
