Day 6 at Altenew Academy

Hi There

Tonight I share my last homework piece.  I am getting to like this technique that is so far out of my norm.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day 5 at Altenew Academy

Hi there:

Today, there was some serious coloring done for my homework card. Again, I didn't go as far as Kelly did, but I do love my card.

There was masking involved, and a fab little trick that you can get if you take the class. It really helped my in  my layout. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 3 at Altenew Academy

Hi there:

When I saw Kelly's lesson for day three - it scared the you know what out of me.  Loosey Goosey watercoloring with Distress Oxide Inks...oh help me now. Ya I have control issues. I like watercoloring but I want embossed lines so stuff stays where its supposed to be. So this lesson is WAY out of my comfort zone - and it should be. How can I learn if I don't try the out of my comfort zone techniques?

I actually had fun once I let myself go.  Ya!  I might even make more in this style!  And again this is supposed to be one layer wonders --- I just like mounting my one layer on a colored card-base.

Thanks for coming by and indulging my homework show.

AA Day 2

Hi there

At first this was not my favorite card of my homework. This assignment required a background stamp with open spaces, multi shade coloring of the background, some masking for the sentiment and a touch of glitter.  Going through my stash, this is the best I could come up with.  I'll be showing all the homework - even the less than happy outputs.  Hard to see, but there are 3 shades of the yellow from light to darkest.


Edited to add:  Looking at the actual card again - it is growing on me. It is cute.  The picture doesn't capture it well at all. 

Happy you came by!

Teal and Yellow

Hi there -

It has been at least a year since I took an online cardmaking class.  Kelly Latevola is teaching a class over at Altenew Academy.  Its a great price point, and the title is  One Layer Wonders.  I've long been a fan of Kelly's coloring - so I had to take this class.  My homework will be a case of the day's lesson. I might have to switch out some stamps, but it will be very similar - so I cannot take any design credit.

While my card is a focal panel layered on a colored base, the focal point is one layer.  This was a fun and relaxing card to make---up until I made a wonky cut with the die.  But, hey  I am a little wonky too. SO I am going with the resulting slight banner tilt.

I really like the appearance of the raised sentiment banner across the card front. Its a cool trick.

The interactive portion of class runs through 6/26/18.  But of course you can take it anytime.  The interactive portion is merely the chat options in the forums; the galleries appear to be open forever.

Thanks for stopping by.
