I finished two more cards I wanted to show. These were for Altenew’s Magic Markers Technique class. I don’t use alcohol markers too much. Not my favorite coloring medium and I’m not good at it anyway, nor do I have many alcohol markers, but I […]
Wow, what a wonderful class this was. So many great ways to use heat embossing. I made two cards for this class. The first one was a sympathy card. For this card I used Altenew’s Beautiful Bergenia 3D embossing folder and heavy weight black cardstock. […]
I don’t know what the weather has been where you are but here in Massachusetts it’s been unbearably hot and humid. Last week it was almost 100° here! I’ve been making lots of cards but not posting so much. Today’s card I did for Altenew’s […]

The next class I took for AECP Level 2 was “In the Mood for Color.” We explored the way color can enhance the mood of your card. I decided to use blue, meaning quiet, reflective, sad. I made a sympathy card using pearlized cardstock I […]
Today I took the Beyond Basic Backgrounds class. What great ideas they had. My favorite technique was bleaching with water using Distress Inks. I started by inking a background using distress inks on watercolor paper. Then, I took the small flower cluster from the Grateful […]
