Season Scene Building

The Season Scene Building by Nichol Magouirk was a little bit difficult....

Maybe because I don't have many stamp sets that can build a scene :)

But, after going back and forth, again and again I decided to make this clean and simple card,
hope you like it :)


First I found a page from an old book, a craft paper card and my Be Strong stamp set. 
Using my Mini Misty, I positioned my stamps like I wanted to use them, and stamped them with Memento black ink, and stamped them also on some post it notes for masks...







After I had my images stamped, I got my Altenew markers, an using my set E (orange and green) and set D (all of them) to color my images.




After my coloring was done, I riped a part of my book page, and stamped the wheelbarrow in Silver Stone.



Then it was time to put my card together....

Celebration Stencil Technique

Next on my list, on my AECP journey, is Celebration Stencil Technique class, by Laurel Beard.


I had this beautiful flower stamped and colored on my table, 




so I decided to use that one, and got some watercolor paper out from my stash and my lovely purple mini ink cubes from Altenew


I then proceeded to smooch my ink on my craft mat in irregular patterns, spritz it with water and smooch my paper down. 




I wasn't satisfied with the colors so I smooched it down again until I was happy :)



Then it was time to use my stencil... I didn't tape it down because I was just going to "use" the middle part of the paper.


I took some of the Altenew paste, mixed it with some white glimmer and spread it on my paper/stencil










Usually when I use the paste I let it dry overnight but I didn't have time for that now, so I decided to dry the paste with my heat gun...  I just had to be careful and to dry in short time on front (so the paste don't burn) and from the back, to try to minimal warping of the paper.

I then took my stamped flower, cut it out and stuck down some 3D tape, mounted it to my card front, and that's my card done!
