Watercolor Basics & Beyond using my watercolour Pan as Ink

Welcome back to my blog.
Today, I am sharing another technique which I learned from Jennifer Rzasa. Absolutely amazing technique. In this one I have used my pan colours as my inks and spritzing with water before stamping. The results are really beautiful.

For this card , I used the stamp set called Dainty bouquet stamp. First taking the big stamp on my acrylic block and using the teal colour along with the waterbrush pen I applied it on my stamps. TIP: make sure when you are lifting the colour it should not be watery otherwise it will get smudged when stamped therefore it should have lot of pigment in it.
Once I finished doing with my large one . I placed the big one in such a way that they look like one stem and did all the same step as the first one.
Once I applied the colour I sprayed a bit of water on it so that the dry colours are all reactivated.

Now with the layering of just the flowers I have used the second medium and darker teal from my ink pads to have their layers stamped on top of each other.

For my sentiments I have used it from Build-A- Flower camellia with a jet black ink. Also a bit of splatter with black was done to finish the card.
Hope you all like it.

Don't forget to leave me some comments.

Altenew Creative Watercolor Media

Altenew Creative Watercolor Media

Wow ! finally onto my last card for my level 2 Altenew Educator Program.
Today I am sharing the card which I created after learning from the Guru's of Altenew Jennifer Rzasa, Debby Hughes, and Laura Bassen. Wow their online class Creative water color media is just amazing.
So many different ways you can color your images by just using Altenew's ink pads or re-inkers .. yes I am right just re-inkers.
At the end of this blog post I have also attached a small experiment I did with my re-inkers. O what a fun!
So here I am with my Card where I have used Canson watercolor Paper , Peach perfect re-inker for my background and flowers from Altenew Disty Print Stamp. Images are colored using ink pads and water brush pen.

For my Background ,I took a piece of canson cardstock. Then I took out few drops of re-inker on my Glass media mat and sprayed water over re-inker drops . With the help of a water brush pen I tried to lift and dabbed the ink on my paper gently everywhere (I had sparyed lots of water on my mat over the reinker drops) as I wanted a very light colour for my background.
Ones the background is dry I used a gold embossing powder to heat emboss my Ditsy print stamped images.

For colouring my leaves and flowers I firstly dabbed a colour on the mat and then picked them up with my water brush pen to paint my flowers.
Now my sentiments are from halftone everything stamp and dies where I used a royal blue cardstock along with white to cut them out and used foam tape to adhere them . From the same coordinating stamp set , I have also stamped "Thanks for" with Persian blue ink pad .
Last part of the card was a bit of enhancing my flower center which I did with some diamonds lying in my stash.

Hope you all liked it .
Oh! before I forget , here is my experimented work or you can say a background I created with the re-inker on a glossy card stock.

Hope you all like it.
Please don't forget to leave me a comment as its boosts my morale to create more for sure.

Regards

Neha.

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.

ltenew Educator Certification Program Challenge 1

ltenew Educator Certification Program Challenge 1

Hello Everyone,
Finally I have come to an end of my level 1 Classes . After completing 10 wonderful classes with wonderful teachers , it was definitely a very hard choice for me to just select three techniques and make one card.
But overcoming that difficulty I have selected my three techniques in one card.
And this is my go.
My first technique Showcase All about layering flowers where I have used Build a Flower Anemone Coronaria along with its dies. I have also used the Sentiments from the stamp set called Birthday Builder, a very nice stamp and it has different font which can be used to write Happy Birthday on your cards.
Then I chose the techniques which lets me put a glitter washi on my card and gave my card a bit of Shine so I will let it shine on my card for that extra sparkle.
And the Last technique was Easy Die cutting where I have used my Cozy Flannel Cover die to emboss for my backgrounds.
Hope this will be my lucky card to let me win my challenge.
Until my next post
Take Care

Create a Scene with Altenew Stamps

Hello Everyone,
I am back again with my card blog post. This time I have created a scene using two stamps from Altenew which are Winter cottage and Pine Tree Stamps.
I have also done some making using Inkadinkado Masking sheets.
First I have cut out my circle and the slopes from my masking sheets.
Then I have tried to use the distress inks Salty ocean , Blue print sketch and Tumbled glass to create sky and some of the snowy effect for the slopes using the masking cut outs.
After that I planned trees and the cottage stamping them with the Jet black ink from Altnew on Neenah solar white cardstock.
I have layered my card with two colored pattern paper which I had in my stash.
Masking technique is fun and I have really enjoyed doing this.
Hope to learn more and use more of Altenew Stamps and Dies as it looks like I am getting too much obsessed with this Brand now :D
Hope you all like it and please don't forget to leave some comments for me.
Thanks for Stopping by
Regards

I have made my own background using Altenew Mini Ink cubes which very well goes with my Card theme.
Hope you all like it. Don't forget to leave comments below it really boosts my morale.

Altenew Clean & Simple Boutique Cards

Hello everyone
I am back again from my New Zealand break which I went last week. In fact it was not a holiday, I went there to help my sister for her exhibition for SENZ2018 ( Scrapbook Expo).
Coming back to Altenew card which I created today is for AEP ( Altenew Educator Program).
Here I was meant to create a simple Boutique card and below is my take for the same.
I have created this card using Altenew's Golden feather Stamp along with their Simply hello die for the word Hello.
I have used Deco foil sheet to cover my hello with copper foil shine. I have just used a simple laminator (bought from Kmart) and some clear embossing powder to stick my foil sheet on my die cut.
For my Inks I have used Altenews Mini Ink cube set warm and Cozy.
Hope you all like it. will be back soon with my another make.
Thanks for stopping
Have a lovely day and happy blogging.

Die Cutting Techniques with Altenew Dies

Hello Everyone,
I am here again with my another card created for AEP ( Altenew Educator Program).
Today I have tried my hands on the dies from Altenew layering die which is Layered Blossom Cover Die A and B.
Here are the results.
For this Card I have first used my Layered Blossom Cover Die A to first emboss on a purple cardstock and then after cutting out from Cover Die B I have used the negative die cuts to give a light shading for my flowers. For the leaves as well I used all the negative die cuts and outlines to make it look more leafy.
Quick and easy tutorials and multi use of dies are so effective , I couldn't imagine . All in all it was yet another fun lesson.
Hope you like my card. Please do leave a comment for boosting my morale :)
