Altenew - AECP - Level 2 - In the Mood for Colour

Hi all,

I'm back today with another two cards I've created for my AECP - this class was taught by the lovely Stephanie Klauck - 7 lessons all about colour and the mood that each colour makes you feel..

Now, I've never really thought about what colours depict what mood, but after taking these lessons, I can now appreciate that sometimes a sentiment isn't going to match the mood colour of the card...

We know that when we see colours, they can make us feel, very different emotions.. little bit of Psychology going on here with my cards today! Some colours are warm or cool, but each one of those colours has a different mood attached to it.  I'm going with different shades of Blue/Green..cool colours and a hint of Gold for warmth.

So Blue is calm and Green is soothing, and the sentiment I chose for this card also reflects the mood of the card colour too..The hint of Gold (yellow) is for optimism and cheer.

So now we'll look at the process of making this card.. 

I stamped the Study of Watercolor stamp set on to water colour card stock, with three of the Sea shore collection of inks, to create an ombre effect.

Now I have a tendency to over think my cards and find it quite difficult to produce a card with white space...also I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to water colouring inside the lines LOL and the thought of letting the paint drip scared me LOL..but I do like the end result...

I added the antique gold ink spray by first spraying it on a piece of vellum and then picking it up with a paint brush for the splatters.

I think the sentiment "I'm just a thought away" matches the mood of this card perfectly!

So for my second card, I've decided to go rainbow...yes full on rainbow for a happy bright birthday card.  I'ts actually for my son who turns 24 this week! so no unicorns or glitter with this rainbow LOL

I've used the "Birthday Bash"stamp set for this one, I stamped the streamers onto white cardstock in bright birthday colours and then filled them in with the same inks. I embossed the sentiment in white on to a piece of vellum and on the back of the vellum I used the same ink colours as before to create a soft ink blend. I stamped the confetti in gold and filled it in with the antique gold ink spray.

The party blower was coloured using my Copic and Altenew alcohol markers.

I love the bright but yet soft feel to this card.

Hope you like these cards, and I know for sure that I will be matching card mood colours with sentiments from now on!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs

Alli
