AECP - Irresistible Inking Techniques

I have reached the last level 1 class Altenew Educators Certification Program. Here is my project for the Irresistible Inking Technique Irresistible Inking Technique class taught by Sara Naumann. In this class Sara gives some ideas for different inking techniques. 

For this project I used an acrylic block and inked it up with Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, then spritzed it with some water and stamped it down on a piece of watercolor paper for the background. Once that was dry I stamped and heat embossed the Altenew Blossoming Freesia stamp over top of the blue square. To color in the image I used Distress Inks that I put out on my glass mat with a little bit of water to get a watercolor look. Once the flowers were colored in I used some black ink and some gold water color to spatter over the card front.

I let this dry overnight and then attached it to a piece of black cardstock before attaching it to the card base. Using the Altenew Simply Hello die I cut out the hello 3 times using cardstock and stacked them together to get some dimension. I also used some Ranger Stickles in black and made dots, tapping the card on a hard surface to slightly flatten the glue dots out.

Supplies used:

Stamps - Altenew Blossoming Freesia

Ink - Distress Inks (Abandoned Coral, Tumbled Glass, and Mowed Lawn), Versamark

Dies - Altenew Simply Hello
Misc. - embossing powder, Distress Stickles, Yasutomo Watercolor Paint, Dr PH Martin Black Star Matte India Ink, Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue (black diamond)
