Wishing Two Wonderful People Card Instructions
Happy Together stamps and Happy Together die
For the background: Scribble Ocean Waves and Warm Sunshine on an acrylic block, spritz with water and press a piece of smooth white cardstock on top. Edge with watery Ocean Waves. Spatter with watery Dark Chocolate.
Stamp the flower outline onto white cardstock with Jet Black. (I use a stamp positioner for this.) Ink the flower silhouette with Warm Sunshine. Spritz the stamp with water, then stamp onto the outline-stamped flower for a watercolor effect. Repeat to ink, spritz and stamp the silhouette a second time using Ocean Waves.
Color the rest of the flower with markers from the Artist Markers Set A:
Leaves: Forest Glades G17.
Base of blossom: Frayed Leaf G702
Small flower bud and center of large flower: Dusk B313
Accenting petals on the large flower: B201 Sea Glass
Die cut the flower, then add it to the watercolor background with foam tape. Stamp the sentiment with Jet Black ink and add a bow. Mount on white and teal card before gluing to the card front.
Happy Mother’s Day Card Instructions
Stunning Cosmos stamps
Stamp the detail flower randomly with Cotton Candy. Stamp the flower detail and sentiment with Dark Chocolate. Add rhinestone accents, then mount on brown and white card before adding to the card front.
You Make Me Happy Card Instructions
Stunning Cosmos stamps
Use Sea Glass to stamp the silhouette of the flower onto white cardstock, then stamp the detail with Ocean Waves. Add the flower center with Warm Sunshine and the dots with Dark Chocolate. Stamp the stem with Frayed Leaf and the top of the stem detail with Forest Glades. Stamp the sentiment with Dark Chocolate and ink the edges of the cardstock with Ocean Waves.
Mount on yellow card. Cut a piece of blue cardstock slightly smaller than the front of the card, and add paper doilies along the edge. Wrap with twine, then add the stamped focal. Add a bow made from twine.
For the complete video (which includes another card!) please pop over to see the Altenew Facebook Live session. The class is about an hour long, so you might want to grab a cuppa before you start. Enjoy!
