Altenew Educator "For the Love of Flowers" Blog Hop and Linky Party + Giveaway

Hello Everyone .

Thank you for stopping by on my blog. Hope you have enjoyed reading Teri Stokes blog . Here is the List of the educators blog.

Altenew Card Blog

Michelle Ochoa Murray

Nenette S. Mademoiselle

Now coming on to my card details .Its been such a long time since I wrote my last blog.

I am here again for another blog hop for Altenew Educators .

I have created two cards for my Blog hop, both using the Alcohol Artist Marker reinkers, Yupo paper and rubbing Alcohol, along with the Altenew Ink pads and stamps.

Here are two cards which I have created.

Let me explain you how I created my cards.

CARD 1:

Material Used:

Stamps: Simple Beauty Stamp and Fancy Greeting.

Background with Alcohol Artist Marker Reinker: Persian Blue

Black Obsidian Ink for stamping my sentiment.

Neenah Solar white for my Card base 4 1/4' by 5 1/2' , Sentiment and flower stamping

White embossing powder along with Versamark and heat gun

Altenew sapphire ink pad from Glacier cave ,Warm and Cozy Ink pad and Greenfields

YUPO paper Medium weight

Rubbing Alcohol or Blending Solution

Steps:

1. To make the background I first took the alcohol ink and dropped few drops on my YUPO paper ( measures 4 1/4' by 5 1/2' ) . Spreading that ink with the help of a straw and also used blending solution to make it more runny across the paper.

2. Once the background was all dried , then I used the Sapphire ink pad from Glacier Cave Altenew inks and stamped the swirls used from Simple beauty stamps on the yupo. Once they were bit dry , I took my microfiber cloth and buffed those stamped images so that they look faded stamped images on the background.

3. Now separately on a Neenah solar white I heat embossed with white my flowers from Simple Beauty Stamp set and layered them with the warm and cozy ink pad and Greenfields.

4. I also stamped the sentiment with Black Obsidian on Neenah to put behind my flowers.

5. I stuck my flower on with the foam tape and the rest with the Altenew Adhesive.

CARD 2:

Material Used:

Stamps: Wonderland Stamp, Hello Die and Ornate Cover Die

Background Alcohol Artist Marker Reinker: Midnight Violet and Ruby red

Black Obsidian Ink for stamping my flowers.

Neenah Solar white for my Card base , flower stamping

A piece of gold Foil

YUPO paper Medium weight

Rubbing Alcohol or Blending Solution

Vellum

Steps:

1. In this card first I dry embossed my background with the help of the Ornate Cover die on my Yupo paper. If you don't know how to emboss with a die you can follow Lydia's Video here to see how it can be done.

2. To make the background after doing the embossing I took the alcohol ink and dropped few drops on my same YUPO paper ( measures 4 1/4' by 5 1/2' ) and spread that ink with the help of a straw and also used blending solution to make it more runny across the paper.

3. Once the background was little dried , I took a piece of foil and rubbed on the areas which were still wet. Because it being wet the foil got stuck to those wet areas.

4. After I was happy with my background I cut that out in four equal parts and stuck on the neenah white card panel measuring 4 1/4'by 5 1/2' with the help of a foam tape.

5. For My hello word I die cut three pcs of hello and stuck them together to get dimensions.

6. Because I had a very heavy background so I decided to stamp my flowers black and white . I stamped one of the stamps from the wonderland stamp with Black obsidian on Neenah Solar white paper.

7. After finishing all stamping I first put a piece of vellum on the bottom of the card following the 2/3rd rule. Then I placed my sentiment die cut on it along with the stamped flower image to finish off my card.

Hope you all liked the way they turned out. Please do not forget to leave me a comment if you like my creation.
