Hello everyone!   Today’s card I created for the For The Guys courses. I actually don’t make that many cards for men. So, this was a good opportunity to stretch my skills.   I wanted to make a card with geometric patterns. I took the Scattered Cubes stencil and started to apply different shades of blue. How awesome is that stencil?! By rotating you get all the time a different look. I can’t get enough. Once I was able to stop, I decided to blend some Carribean Sky Pigment ink on the bottom of my card. So that it matches the pattern and I can stamp my sentiment there.  Then I added a stripe and embossed it with sparkling black embossing powder. I love how the sparkle picks up the color of the card and the black looks bold and so very masculine 😅   I made this card for my nephew in law who soon will get his graduation and I’m sure he will pass successfully. So, I stamped Concrats! and embossed this with the black powder too.  I like how I turned out and it doesn’t even look naked withou

Hello!   Today I made my card for the Easy Ink Blending course. I tried to make my blending slowly and patient... well not one of my strengths.😅 I created a soft ink blending, which faded on the top of my card.   The flowers I made with the faux watercolor technique. I stamped some flowers from the Choral Charm Stamp set and heat embossed them white. Then I blended them with ink and added more water and ink. Finally, I die cut them out.  They look nice but I think this technique looks much better, if you don’t cut the pieces out and do it directly on paper.   To add a little more interest, I die cut a frame from white cardstock and then I assembled everything together.   I love the sentiment “Trust the timing of your life” from the Spider Mums Stamp set. Such a beautiful message, to have faith in everything that happens. Not always easy. But hey, life guided me to Altenew and now I’m happily doing my AECP! 😂
