Hello,
Thank you for visiting my blog after a long time. It’s been nearly 1 ½ years, since my last post for the AECP. Just a recap, I had finished the 10 levels for Level 2 and only left with the Final Challenge.
Here is my submission for the Level 2 Final Challenge
Here are the details of the challenge I was given by Erum and Virginia:
Select ANY 3 components from the classes in Level 1 or 2 (e.g., layering 1/2, Let it shine, stencil techniques)
Explain the 3 components that you’ve chosen for the project
Share design tips (if any)
Please make 4 MASCULINE cards (Themes are; birthday, Love/Thinking of You, Anniversary, and Encouragement) + Altered Item/Upcycled Project.
Challenge blog post: Detailed step-by-step photo tutorial and/or YouTube video
Minimum of 10 photos (close-up and process)
Submit to the gallery within one month
So here we go…
For all of my cards I have used the following techniques taught in these classes at The Altenew Academy
1. Ink blending techniques using a stencil from the Stencil Techniques class by Laurel Beard.
2. Using Metallic Paper to add some sparkle and shine, from the Let it shine class conducted by Carissa Wiley
3. For the Boys class conducted by Laurel Beard. I have used the concept of using Geometric patterns for creating masculine cards from that class.
For the 4 cards I have gone with same colour palette of Blues and Greens so they look like a set. For the Altered Item/upcycled project I have created a small gift bag to keep these cards in.
Here are some pics showing the process. Please click on the images to read the descriptions and details
Here are the close-up pictures of my cards and gift bag
