Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I participated on an online Altenew Workshop by @tracisjoyfulpapercrafting yesterday. This is the card that I created during th workshop.
I don't have the same supplies that Traci used on her card. I used Altenew products that I have.
Traci used a stencil-die leaf combo on her card. I used the Altenew Just Leaves die set instead. I die cut the leaves on white cardstock. I blended ink on the leaves die cut using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks. I used a small blending brush on appying the ink. After I pounced the brush on a scrap paper, I applied the ink heavily but gently (since these are dainty die cuts) on the center. I went light handed as I move the brush towards the end of the leaves. With these dainty die cuts, I recommend using a sticky mat to keep the die cuts in place while blending ink on it. Another tip is to piece the die cut back on the negative cut to add support to this dainty die cuts during the ink blending.
I die cut several colored glitter paper and adhered this to the back of the matching color die cut leaves. I slightly offset this for a shadow effect. With the die cut being so dainty, it was a tough job to do the offset look.
I adhered the leaf die cuts to a white cardstock panel cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" following a rainbow order. I overlapped some of the leaves.
I added colored sequins to the panel, adhering the sequins close to the matching leaf color.
For the sentiment, I die cut the sentiment on black mirror cardstock using the Altenew Timeless Sentiment die set. I die cut the shadow on hollographic paper adding more sparkle to the card.
I always enjoy attending Altenew workshops. I don't only get to craft but I also get to listen to other fellow crafter's stories.
I hope you like today's card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
