Altenew: Beyond Basic Backgrounds

4/13/2019

Hey Friends!

I am so excited to share I finished another course for my Altenew Journey to Certification, one more to complete my classes for Level 2.

Today, is all about backgrounds. Lydia made some amazing cards- I am loving all the fun techniques she showed and can't wait to show you more of them. Today, I decided to create my own patterned paper. I will be honest, I don't buy a lot of patterned papers, mostly because I like making white space cards that are clean and simple. Lydia did introduce me to a new product out there that I ordered - I can't wait to get it to show you all. It's pretty awesome!

Tutorial/Tips & Techniques:

Stamps: Altenew Inked Rose
Ink: Altenew Permanent Black, Prismacolor Markers Canary Yellow, Light Aqua and Light Olive Green
Cardstock/Paper: Neenah Solar White, Yellow and Blue (my scrap stash)
Other: Enamel Candy Drops (my stash), Altenew Silver Metallic Spray, White Signo Pen

Steps:

Stamp leaves randomly on Neenah Solar White with Altenew Permanent Black Ink
Color leaves with your choice of color mediums, I used Prismacolor Alcohol Markers
Splatter Silver Metallic Spray, I removed the nozzle and flicked
Add some white does on the leaves using a White Signo Pen
Assemble and finish with come Candy Drops

Hero Products I used:

Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope I inspired you to make your own background patterned paper.
