 Today, I'm sharing a card using layering stencils from Alex Syberia - these match a betterpress plate, but I decided to use them without the coordinating plate.

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made with the recently released press plate from Alex Syberia, Charming Floral. I pressed it using Altenew obsidian ink, and coloured it with Zig markers and a water brush. I finished with a stamped sentiment from Concord & 9th.

Altenew AECP: Easy Diecutting Techniques

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the Altenew AECP Program, after taking the Easy Die Cutting Techniques class. 

I used the Stacked Diamonds cover die to emboss a piece of white cardstock, before ink blending over the now textured cardstock. I stamped some roses from the Amazing You stamp set in black ink, fussy cut them out and created a bouquet in the middle of my card. I finished with a sentiment from Concord and 9th.

Altenew AECP - For the guys

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a masculine birthday card as part of the "For the Guys" class in the Altenew AECP.

 I stamped the background stamp in black using my MISTI, but all of the colours, I stamped using acrylic blocks - gave me a lot of practice lining up stamps by hand, something I don't often do any more! I cut the panel to just smaller than my card front, cut out a strip on an angle, and finished with a stamped sentiment that I popped up on foam adhesive.
