Level 2 - AECP - With a Twist
This class is all about taking a different turn with your supplies and creating something new and different. For the card I created today I am incorporating several of the lessons I learned. I chose to use the unexpected color combination of turquoise and tan - not a usual floral color combo. Another technique is cutting the card in an interesting way - for this I used the freesia die cut and cut it partially out of the card base panel. And my final twist was to add acetate and heat emboss on it.
My first step was to stamp the freesia image in Altenew Fresh Dye Ink - Pastel Sunrise. I used this color to go for a no line color look for this floral image. I then stenciled this freesia using Dew Drops, Aqualicious, Teal Cave and Galactic Stream. I finished with Pastel Sunrise and Canyon Clay for the stem of the floral image and added just a touch of Berrylicious for the centers. I then die cut this image out and then did a partial die cutting of the top folding card base panel.
Before layering the stenciled die cut over the card panel I used the dot portion of the stencil to add the dots in Galactic Stream to the top of the card panel. Then using liquid glue I applied the stenciled die cut over the die cut portion of the card base panel. Inside the card I used a piece of patterened card stock from the Wildflower Collection Paper Pack. It was the perfect backdrop for my card - very subtle tan (Pastel sunrise) dotted pattern.The last step was to take a piece of heat embossable acetate and cut it down to 4.25" x 5.5" panel and using Lindy's Magicals Autum Leaves collection - I embossed the sentiment onto the acetate. I used the Lindy's Magicals because the embossing powder closely matched the teal of the stenciled flowers.
This card looks so cool in person with the die cut plus acetate card front.
This looks incredible!!
