Altenew - AECP - Level 2 - With a Twist

Hi all,  I'm back today with another two cards, for my AECP level 2, this was such a fun class, six lessons  hosted by Therese Calvird.

With a Twist, is all about having fun with your supplies, getting more out of them, cutting on a weird angle and maybe stepping out of you're comfort zone!

So my first card is based upon the idea of getting more out of your supplies...you know the ones that we only use now and again......

I'm using the Altenew Shattered triangle for my first card...


So other than using this set for a masculine card... I've not really used it that much...until now..from now on this set has been re-purposed.. its now a conical wall hanging basket...Yes you read that right...its a wall hanging basket, full of green foliage and flowers!.. lets take a look at the card...


I've used the Doodle Blooms stamp and die set for my flowers and foliage, and coloured them with Altenew Alcohol Markers, in just three colours G702, R403 and Y204 .. I've even shaped the baskets by adding two pieces of foam tape in the middle and one piece on either side of the basket.. so it looks 3D..


I also added some brown sisal, to look like moss...I didn't want my flowers to dry out now did I LOL.


OK, so lets have a look at my second card... the twist with this one is that  I've fussy cut it on a angle... and to get that angle right, I've draw in a diagonal pencil line from top right to bottom left.. 


Yep...it looks like a hot mess... I know... but just wait....till you see...


Now doesn't that look pretty!

Sets used are :-

Many thanks


I've coloured this one with Zig markers as I stamped it on to Bristol Smooth card stock and Bristol smooth will tolerate a small amount of water...


As you can see I've fussy cut the image..

Now I didn't want to waste the rest of the paper, so I distress ink blended it with Tattered Rose and Antique linen.. Die cut it with a stitched rectangle.  I've mounted this on not one but two pieces of fun foam... I really wanted it to stand out and give it some dimension, and I've added some water droplets..the inspiration for the water droplets...came from outside as it's been pouring down where I live...LOL.  The thank you sentiment was too large so I had to stamp the "thank" and mask off the "you" and then position the you underneath and then mask off the "thank" bit..




Hope I've given you inspiration to re-purpose some of those crafting supplies, or to take this class!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

    Looks like you had some fun with this class Alli, I am really impressed with your idea to make the triangles into hanging baskets, you were the first to think of this I am sure!

    What a wonderful way to use those shattered triangle dies!! Very clever! Love the idea and what an awesome twist! Well done!
    Your second card is beautiful as well. I like that you fussy cut the stamped piece and mounted it. Does make it look more interesting.
    Thank you for entering your beautiful work to the AECP assignment gallery. Wonderfully done! Keep it up.
