Hello my friends! I am sharing my final assignment from Altenew Academy. For this task I will share some techniques that I learned during this course. I had to choose three different elements to create a set of cards for him and one for her and I also have to make a package using recycling. These are the three elements I chose: 1.Clean & Simple Boutique Cards 2. Easy Ink Blending Techniques 3. Celebrations: Stencil Techniques

To start these are my Clean & Simple cards

For the Clean And Simple cards I used the technique of creating a background and I also used cutting die. To create my background I started stamping in the center of the paper so I could have a pattern in the design and you can see it in the photo I posted. I did the same with the card that has the bouquet of flowers. On the other card I used a cutting die on one of them I cut around the edge of the paper to give it another design you can also see it in the photo ⬇️

Easy Blending Technique

Very interesting class and now to make my cards I started by choosing the colors and the paper I was going to use. I started ink blending in the middle of the paper from the inside out so that it would have a better result with the ink, then I used a stencil to give it a detail. Also with this ink blending technique I did Resist Embossing. For this technique I used embossing powder and embossing ink and I used my heat tool to make the powder melt and then I started ink blending around and in the middle of the paper so that the embossing can be seen. As you can see in the photo.⬇️

Celebrations: Stencil Techniques

There are many techniques that are used with stencil, you can use them as embossing, stamps and much more. The first technique I used is to create my own stencil and for this I used a die to cut the design and then use it as stencil. You can see it in the photo. Stamping with stencil we need a real one. To do the technique I chose two colors and also I used watercolor paper. I started by putting the colors on the stencil and with a bottle of water I sprayed it carefully so that not too much water fell off then I put it on the water paper and left it putting pressure with my hands a moment so that the ink stays on the paper. You can see the photo I show you.⬇️

For my final I had to create a package for my cards using recycling.

As you can see in the photo I started with a box that was perfect size for some of the bags I received from Altenew. I love to create gif boxes of different sizes, but on this occasion I wanted to use these bags because I love the colors and design. When you receive a bag of these do not throw it away. There are many ways to used them and I leave you with these photos ⬇️

Mostly all products I used were from Altenew.com


Have a blessed day!

That is a very unique take on the challenge, Xiomara! Normally people combine the three techniques and create their card sets but you divided them over the set of cards...it's a very different approach, I like it. I really like how the packaging turned out!
