Altenew (AECP) Level 1 Final - Part 1

 Altenew Submission for the AECP Level 1 Finals:

Hello!  I have always been inspired by Altenew products and design team projects.  Today I am submitting my final submission to complete the Level 1 of the AECP Program consisting of 4 masculine cards & 4 feminine cards with a cohesive theme and using a recycled item in the packaging.  

I was inspired by this [CARD] by Therese Calvird and used it as a jumping off point for my theme. All of her designs inspire me, however, I kept thinking about this card - it really resonated with me. My theme throughout all of the cards is using "Gradient Color Blending" using Altenew Artisty Alcohol Markers. 

I have selected the following 3 courses as inspiration per the requirements for my submission.

1. "For the Guys"
        - Incorporated a geometric theme for the masculine cards  

2. "Clean & Simple Boutique Cards"
        - Implemented "empty" space using embossing folders

        - Maintained a simplistic & clean design aesthetic

3. "Let it Shine"  - Added sparkly glittered and gold cardstock strips

Level 1 Final - Part 1: First, I will feature my Masculine Cards, Supplies List, & Photo Tutorial.

Supply List Masculine Cards:

Embossing Folder: Geo Triangles 3D (Retired)

Markers: Artistry Alcohol Beach Garden Set: B216, B314, B146, B502

Fresh Dye Inks: Obsidian Pigment Ink, Easy Breezy, Volcano Lake

Stamp Set: Sweet Bouquet

Cardstock: Classic White Solar Crest Jet Black, Brushed Gold Metallic Cardstock, Ocean Reflection Glitter Cardstock: Blue Apatite

Other: Stellar Sequins Sparkling Gold, Mini Ink Blending Brush Bundle,  Spellbinders Platinum 6 Die Cutting Machine, Paper Trimmer, Scissors, Stampwheel, Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.

Stay tuned for my Level 1 Final - Part 2 and packaging feature!

06.05.2025 Altenew Inspiration Challenge JUNE - Hope and Inspiration

Joining in the Altenew Inspiration Challenge for June!  

This month's inspiration comes from the  FABULOUS Samantha Pfrimmer :

Sammi Stamps 

I have been wanting to create an inlaid die card for awhile and when I purchased the Rose Queen Die Set, I knew it was perfect for this challenge.

ALSO Inspired by the 

JUST ADD Ink Challenge to ADD TWO

Die Cut + FLOWERS #754 

Just Add Ink always has inspirational challenges.

 I love to combine a few challenges to grow my experiences in my crafting journey
