Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to the Unity Hop! I'm so glad you stopped by. I've been busy trying to squeeze in every spare time I have to create because I LOVE this week's new Release.<br />
<br />

The weather has been so cold and wet here and I'm almost dressed like this every day :)</div>

I love creating clouds that look like snow. To add the effect, I pounced the dauber onto the card for some additional texture.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

I seldom create backgrounds that are elaborate as most of my work are fast and easy due to my busy life. Today I took a little extra time to create a background that has several techniques inspired by the Class Beyond Basics Backgrounds.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the Mandala die, I die-cut it with kraft cardstock. Then I placed the die-cut over a piece of watercolour cardstock and spritzed some gold, red and green shimmer colours. When everything is dry, I took the die-cut and added Versamark all over the mandala section and gold heat embossed it and adhered it to the watercolour cardstock. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next for the sentiment, I die-cut the word "Thanks" on white and black cardstock so that I have 3 pieces for each of them. I stacked and adhered the white together then the black. On the white die-cut I pressed the Versamark inkpad over it and heat embossed with orange embossing powder. I repeated this twice. Then I adhered the orange die-cut to the black and offset it a little. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the flower, I used the Daisy stamp with Summer Afternoon inks and used Prismacolors for added definition near the flower centre. I stamped the leaves with Green Fields inks. All the images were then fussy cut out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adhered the sentiment to a strip of black and gold cardstock and placed the daisy and leaves as shown. To finish off the card, I added some floral sequins with silver stickles in the centres.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been fun to churn out the cards for the AECP assignments this weekend and I had so much fun with the various techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

See you!</div>

On a piece of Canson watercolour cardstock, I stamped the roses, leaves and berries with Versamark and white heat embossed it. With various Zig Clean Color markers and a waterbrush I coloured the images. Then I used Caribbean Sky ink diluted with water and fill in the sections between the stamped images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a sentiment from the Hello Sunshine stamp set on vellum and white heat embossed it. Next, I die-cut the leaves and the tiny flower using the Rose Flurries die set on white cardstock. I used copic markers to colour the die-cuts.</div>

To assemble the card, I cut a frame with orange cardstock and adhered the sentiment on the bottom section and a thin orange strip to ground it. Then I adhered the leaf and flower die-cuts just next to the sentiment.</div>

I think I do a lot of birthdays and friendship themed cards. Today, I have a card which looks simple but took some effort to put together. The card was inspired by the class Impressive Heat Embossing.</div>

I was inspired by the multi-coloured embossing powder card. For my card, instead of using different embossing powders, I decided to use clear embossing with coloured inkpads. The Altenew inkpads I used are Evergreen, Forest Glades, Velvet, Crimson, Rouge and Blush.</div>

First I die-cut the flower using white cardstock. Next I stamped a layer of the cross stitch flower with coloured inkpad, then stamped it again with Versamark. Then I poured clear embossing powder on the stamped section and heat embossed it. I repeated this process for each of the layers.</div>

The tiny butterfly was stamped and heat embossed the same way on another piece of cardstock and cut it out. I thought it would be nice to have some dimension for the butterfly and I adhered it to the cross stitch flower piece with foam adhesive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish off the card, the sentiment was stamped and white heat embossed on a thin strip of black cardstock. I snipped the ends of the sentiment piece and adhered it to the card with foam adhesive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card was inspired by Nina-Marie's card with lots of colourful balloons in a white background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My take is slightly different :) I decided on a white background with monochromatic leaves and a burst of colour with a bright pink flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create the monochromatic background, I used the 3rd layer leaf stamp and stamped it on white cardstock using Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades inks. Then I die-cut the background with the Dotted Scales Debossing Cover die and cut it slightly smaller than the cardbase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I stamped the Rose and leaves on another piece of white cardstock and die-cut them out. The inks I used are Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen and Jet Black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the sentiment, I decided to split the sentiments into two tones. I stamped "I Smile" using Black ink on white cardstock and the bottom half of the sentiment on a thin strip of black cardstock and white heat embossed. Then I adhered the black strip just below the top sentiment where it should be.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish the card, I assembled it and popped the flowers and leaves with foam adhesive for some added dimension.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I just couldn't put a card together so I'm super glad to be more productive this weekend.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die-cut a white cardstock and a kraft cardstock with the Spring Shower Cover die and saved all the die-cut pieces. With copic markers I coloured some of the leaves and flowers. The leaves are adhered back to the negative cover die-cut. The flowers are stacked with the smaller die-cuts and adhered with foam adhesive. To finish off the card, I added jewels on the flower centres and sprayed my favourite Sparkle shimmer spray from high.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm on a roll this weekend with the AECP assignments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next card is based on the techniques in the Beautiful Details class. Of all the classes I find this most challenging because I'm a fairly impatient cardmaker. Most of the cards I make take 15 minutes or so to colour and put together. This one took some time but I think I love the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Altenew product I used are</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colouring medium I used are Copic markers with Prismacolor pencils.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDc1sAvUNYbK740EbYYHqYvH5Y_sVcW-LpZxliuGgKIXVbpYLUyy64wDb45YmW2Q_ltNz5MC6FvPKCQsDKgfpxebX8eU7yBkZEzaT1fMNNHFP4Iwqwm59YyODP0bS39bM5Kjo5L1CXxM/s1600/mum+sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1544" data-original-width="1164" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDc1sAvUNYbK740EbYYHqYvH5Y_sVcW-LpZxliuGgKIXVbpYLUyy64wDb45YmW2Q_ltNz5MC6FvPKCQsDKgfpxebX8eU7yBkZEzaT1fMNNHFP4Iwqwm59YyODP0bS39bM5Kjo5L1CXxM/s640/mum+sm.jpg" width="482" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used only the outline stamps for the flower and leaf and stamped using Memento Desert Storm ink. This ink works really well with Copic markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The copic markers I used are R12, R11, R00 for the flower and YG25, YG23 and Y21 for the leaves. I selected a slightly darker shade of peach and soft yellow pencil for the flower and a darker shade of leaf green pencil. The idea is to add shading and fine lines to the imagse to give it more details than the markers could.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBj9zMT3i9FWSsW4lHwbM6_PxCX9_SPdM16DkLQxLFygxhjcISKOn6CTSZThvN97HZY7pgDQxU3wmuf8RV24eXN4dp9F-ZfvvqXixhEKbr89STY3cgIDdMmoEQu924Jk7NW3hlsonwdtI/s1600/IMG_4388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1262" data-original-width="1280" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBj9zMT3i9FWSsW4lHwbM6_PxCX9_SPdM16DkLQxLFygxhjcISKOn6CTSZThvN97HZY7pgDQxU3wmuf8RV24eXN4dp9F-ZfvvqXixhEKbr89STY3cgIDdMmoEQu924Jk7NW3hlsonwdtI/s400/IMG_4388.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background is a piece of watercolour cardstock. I sponged some Distress Oxide Tattered Rose and Squeezed Lemonade lightly and added some gold shimmer ink spritz with a small brush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from the Wild Hibiscus set and I stamped it using the Peach Perfect ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you like the card.</div>

Colour makes me happy and I love creating with unexpected colours.</div>

The Altenew class <a href="https://altenewacademy.com/product/in-the-mood-for-color/">In the Mood for Color</a> was so inspiring.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Warm and Cozy inks for the flower, and Green Fields ink for the leaves. I find it easier to align the floral stamp if I die-cut the cardstock first with Sewn with Love die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love Orange flowers, something about its bright colour that gives energy :) I thought it would be fun to add some unexpected colours in the background to give the card more interest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used an old stencil and placed it above the stamped image and sponged some Distress Oxide inks (Tattered Rose, Shaded Lilac and Bundled Sage). I wasn't sure if the colours will work but I think they turned out pretty good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne.</div>

Yesterday I came home so tired from work. Some days I don't even want to create anything but this stamp set really lifted me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was in the mood for some colouring. I wanted to achieve a soft almost watercolour look with Copic markers. What do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card uses the Masking technique. I used a post-it note and extended the floral image to fill the whole card front width. It's a really simple and easy technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some ink sponging on the top portion of the image and fussy cut around the bottom and adhered it onto a blue cardstock. The sentiment is stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with teal embossing powder. Then I die cut the bottom edge of the cardbase for some added interest.</div>

Today I have a card to share from the Class <a href="https://altenewacademy.com/product/magic-marker-techniques/">Magic Marker Techniques</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Altenew's <a href="https://altenew.com/collections/new/products/hope-stamp-die-bundle">Hope stamp and die</a> set and <a href="https://altenew.com/collections/all-dies/products/watercolor-stripes-cover-die">Watercolor Stripes Cover die</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<img alt="Watercolor%20Stripes%20Cover%20Die%20Set.jpg" height="320" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0388/7541/products/Watercolor_20Stripes_20Cover_20Die_20Set_9c473002-bcfe-46c6-946c-f0f09fa8fe13_grande.jpg?v=1516341910" width="213" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all I used the flower and leaf die and cut several pieces from white cardstock. Next, instead of stamping with the base layer for the flower and leaf, I used Copic markers R20 (for the flower) and G21 (for the leaf) to colour the die cuts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Yq6p5YtT_FYBprLlLiaqmwSMpjd3I_zP3AS236aM4XKuEgflG3vs29w30o21Cm9GnTtfv9XKKzyrXEj9Ae9jnLJeUZFfPBl1d6vZjgu7BzFlpGA538tKamJWXHuDcy_JsoTpGP52l1g/s1600/IMG_4366.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1436" data-original-width="1512" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Yq6p5YtT_FYBprLlLiaqmwSMpjd3I_zP3AS236aM4XKuEgflG3vs29w30o21Cm9GnTtfv9XKKzyrXEj9Ae9jnLJeUZFfPBl1d6vZjgu7BzFlpGA538tKamJWXHuDcy_JsoTpGP52l1g/s320/IMG_4366.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create some texture, I used a piece of jute cloth with Colourless Blending solution and pressed the jute cloth over the coloured die-cut pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlU1pHl-FpuaP8ZIYMpmwMmmCsd7o_DDNaJGUyOkw8iVhTDCjPlZpn_1zv0ZFL4s7rkXGWC4SPFr4zpNOpx972xt1qPKmEu7oGlLQwpKB1_wWiTBarcoRUL4h1ZAvPBmDD15MiXBnnfh4/s1600/IMG_4367.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1167" data-original-width="1600" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlU1pHl-FpuaP8ZIYMpmwMmmCsd7o_DDNaJGUyOkw8iVhTDCjPlZpn_1zv0ZFL4s7rkXGWC4SPFr4zpNOpx972xt1qPKmEu7oGlLQwpKB1_wWiTBarcoRUL4h1ZAvPBmDD15MiXBnnfh4/s320/IMG_4367.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the die-cuts are dry, I stamped the next few layers with Altenew inkpads (Rouge, Crimson and Violet for the flower and Forest Glades and Evergreen for the leaves).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the Watercolor Stripes Cover die, I used Copic Marker E31 and coloured the stripes. Once again, I used a microfibre cloth with the Colourless Blending solution to create texture on the stripes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the sentiment Hope, I die-cut 4 pieces from white cardstock. I stacked and glued 2 of the pieces together. One of the sentiment was coloured with Black alcohol ink marker and the other with E31. Then I glued the brown piece over the black and offset it slightly for some interest. For the stamped sentiment, I used Versamark and white heat embossed it on brown cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the card is assembled as shown - the flowers are adhered with foam adhesive for some dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really enjoyed the lesson With a Twist at Altenew Academy. It's fun to use a favourite technique and adding something unexpected.</div>

I am in love with the new Altenew cross stitch stamps and dies so I thought it would be fun to use the cross stitch die with a twist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The twist component on my card is instead of using the stamp which matched the Cross Stitch Flower die, I used the Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFtZCmiXnz-3s4VreBElPpaSOx4pjlrRVVssYjTFhArkuuNvFjBi7o_0HqmcH5DK2f4RxGmVmesVmByEn4kysE7JbsNF9bfH9qjrMVg56Ld6m7lwAnFSQu8seyxvTcAhNUMyXgD9llR8/s1600/IMG_4357+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1280" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFtZCmiXnz-3s4VreBElPpaSOx4pjlrRVVssYjTFhArkuuNvFjBi7o_0HqmcH5DK2f4RxGmVmesVmByEn4kysE7JbsNF9bfH9qjrMVg56Ld6m7lwAnFSQu8seyxvTcAhNUMyXgD9llR8/s640/IMG_4357+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a piece of white cardstock, I run the Flower die through my die cutting tool. Next I created a mask for the flower die and another mask for the area around the flower. With the help of MISTI, I stamped the flower stem using Altenew Inkpads Evergreen and Forest Glades. Then I placed the mask around the flower and the stem area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the stamp set Sweet Rose Bouquet, I stamped the flowers using the Cherry Blossom inks and the leaves and stems with the Green inks on the area of the Cross Stitch die imprint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the background I die cut the Medallion Cover die and used it as a stencil and sponged some Distress inks Worn Lipstick and Shaded Lilac. The sentiment is from the Cross Stitch Flower stamp set. To finish off the card, I added some flower sequins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>

To complete my participation in the Altenew Educator Program Level 1,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Virginia has issued me a challenge to create with the following conditions:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>

I couldn't wait to get started. I decided to create a Thinking of you card and using the components All About Layering, Die Cutting Technique and Let It Shine.

Firstly I adhered the Medallions Cover die onto a cream cardstock. I stamped and fussy cut out the Ornamental flower and the leaves. I love the beautiful Ornamental Flower layering stamp, such lovely details in the flower and leaves. Next, I die cut the sentiment from gold glitter cardstock and assembled the flower just behind the sentiment.<br />
<br />
I was happy with how all the elements came together on this card.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad I signed up for the <a href="https://altenew.com/pages/altenew-educator-certification-program">Altenew Educator Certification Program</a>. It was such a rewarding and fun experience.<br />
<br />
Thank you for visiting me.<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

I'm back with another card for the Altenew Educator Program. It's been a long break as my dad recently passed and it was hard to create, but it's all good now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the Baby Zoo stamp set and the coordinating dies to create this scene baby card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a piece of white cardstock and did some inking for the background. I used Distress Oxide inks. For the ground, I used Distress Oxides Gathered Twigs and Aged Mahogany. I cut a mask for the sun and inked Distress Oxides Carved Pumpkin nearer to the sun and blend it out with Wild Honey. Just above the ground, I applied Tattered Rose and Seedless Preserves lightly. Lastly I blended everything with Squeezed Lemonade. Then I removed the mask and with a Jumbo Dauber I sponged Warm Sunshine ink for the sun. The background is die-cut using a stitched rectangle die. To add a little interest, I sprayed some sparkle shimmer spray on the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The animals are stamp with various Altenew inks - Elephant with Evening Gray, Lion with Peach Perfect and the Giraffe with Caramel Toffee. The animals are adhered to the background with the elephant slightly raised with foam adhesive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment Congratulations is stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with black embossing powder. The smaller sentiment is stamped with black ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a fun card to put together. I hope you like it.</div>

Hello! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So glad you are hopping with us.<br />
I'm sure the ladies before me have showcased some awesome samples with the new releases.<br />
<br />
Let's jump into the cards...<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image may contain: drawing and text" height="262" src="https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/28951842_10160275142270271_4011671025797804326_n.jpg?oh=e2732becb61aad107e7be040d4bd3ee7&oe=5B35F826" width="400" /><br />
I coloured this sweet Angie Girl with Copic Markers and finished off the card by giving her outfit and flower centres some shimmer. I hope you can see bits of it in the photo.<br />
<br />

I really love this mermaid Angie girl. To add a little ocean feel to the card, I used a stencil on the background and sponged some Distress Oxide inks (Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio).<br />

It's all about stamp and dies today. I tried a little embossing with the matching dies with a stamped die-cut sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The products I used are Altenew's <a href="https://altenew.com/products/botanical-garden-stamp-die-bundle">Botanical Garden</a> Stamp set and its matching dies and the Sentiment from <a href="https://altenew.com/products/halftone-circles-stamp-die-bundle">Halftone Circles</a> & matching die.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping the Botanical Garden images on a white cardstock cut slightly smaller than A2 size. Then I coloured the images with Copic Markers. I placed the matching dies above the stamps and embossed without cutting the images on my Big Shot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some close-up images so you can see the embossed edges.</div>

I stamped the sentiment Hello from the Halftone Circles stamp set with red ink and die cut the word with the matching die and adhered it on the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a simple technique but it gives such wonderful dimension to the card.</div>

The <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/my-little-lamb-february-2018-sentiment-kit/">Sentiment Kit</a> for this month is just awesome. Such a cutie little lamb. I thought it would be fun to focus the colouring on the bow and hearts so that they stand out.</div>

This month's <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/kit-of-the-month/">KOTM</a> is pretty cool. Lots of fun images and this is my favourite. The sentiment is attached with an action wobbler.</div>

This week I just wanted to make a card with no colouring - lol! Some days I just have no desire to colour and so I pull out some dies and inks to create a simple card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Altenew products I used are Fantasy Floral 3D and Signature Word dies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="256012db-3229-4c67-9e05-93843c43a51b" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0388/7541/products/256012db-3229-4c67-9e05-93843c43a51b_00b881a4-e516-4cb5-920d-beac968a3948_grande.jpg?v=1507575496" /></div>

<img alt="Die_Signature_Words.jpg" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0388/7541/products/Die_Signature_Words_59ba155c-0160-43e1-a90b-5a008a036eb9_grande.jpg?v=1515768093" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although the focal point of the card are the die-cut flowers, the inking background looks amazing in real life. I used Distress Oxide inks and blended them on white cardstock. The inks I used are Fossilized Amber, Candied Apple and Broken China. I started the ink blending by softly inking Candied Apple at the centre with an Ink Blending tool, next I added Fossilized Amber towards the top part of the cardstock and Broken China at the bottom section. I added some Sparkle Shimmer Spritz and spritzed it from about 2 feet above the cardstock. I couldn't capture all that shimmer in the photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a patterned cover die over the ink blended background which gave it some dimension and interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To dress up the card, I selected 3 colours for the floral die-cuts to match the ink blending background - orange, pink and teal. The Fantasy Floral die-cut has 3 layers for the flowers. For the base I used the lightest shade, a medium shade for the centre and the darkest shade of cardstock for the top layer. If you don't have colour variations you could use ink blending on white cardstock to achieve the different colour intensity. I also added different types of cardstock for some added texture.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish up the card, I adhered the die-cut Hello at the bottom right corner and some gemstones.</div>

I absolutely love stencils and often use it to dress up the white backgrounds on my cards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I decided to use a simple stencil technique with sponge daubers and inks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my card:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The products I used are Altenew <a href="https://altenew.com/products/layered-dahlia-a-b-stencil-bundle">Dahlia Stencils A and B</a>, Distress Oxide Inks (Worn Lipstick, Candied Apple, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Broken China) and <a href="https://altenew.com/collections/all-dies/products/signature-words-die-set">Signature Words die</a> set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I placed Dahlia A stencil on a white cardstock and used a tape to secure it to the card. Using Distress Oxide inks, I lightly sponged Worn Lipstick ink on the floral section, Twisted Citron on the leaves and Broken China as shown. I love how smooth these inks go on the paper. Without taking off the Dahlia A stencil, I placed Dahlia B stencil above it and sponged the darker inks where the leaves and flowers are. I used Peeled Paint on the leaves and Candied Apple on the flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how easy it is to achieve great results with the beautiful Altenew stencils. On a light teal cardstock I die-cut the "Thanks" sentiment twice and adhered the layered sentiment on the card. I added some tiny pearls to finish up the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am enjoying the Altenew Educator Certification. It's a great way to use familiar techniques on cards and to play with all the Altenew products in my stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great day!</div>
