Beyond Basic Backgrounds


Hello Crafty friends!! I am excited to make a card after taking the Altenew "Beyond Basic Backgrounds" class. The class had many neat ideas on how to create original backgrounds. I wanted to make my own twist on this one. I have some plates at home with a background which was an inspiration for this card. 


For this card I die cut the foilage and decided where I would place these. I used the negative space from the die cuts as a stencil. I used distress inks with the makeshift stencil to color leaves and flowers here and there.  

Materials:
Altenew Scripted Sentiments Die Set
Altenew Flowing Foilage Die

Mood Inspired

Hello Crafty friends!! I am so excited to pass the level 1 classes and test with Altenew! I am now working through courses on the level II. I was inspired by the "In the Mood to Color Class". I thought about what I do in my everyday life, which is to support people struggling with mental health. I created a card thinking of that using the following colors: Blue: Tranquility Pink: Caring Yellow: Optimism  For this card I die cut the tulips and used Distress Inks to color the flower and leaves. Then I die cut the frilly frame and used the flowers to adorn the frame. I used a cover plate to create the background and there placed the die and flowers. Then I added the sentiment and some baubles. For this card I wanted convey maintaining serenity, care and a bit of hopefulness peeking through.  Materials:   Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Tulip Full Bloom Layering Die Set Altenew - Cutting Dies - Frilly Frame Die Altenew Scripted Sentiments Die Set Waffle Flower Sweet Plaid Cover Die ...
