Hey Friends!
I am so excited to share this ensemble with all of you. This card set is very near and dear to my heart.... it's all for my amazing husband, He is very Patriotic and loves Merica! The challenge, I was given, was to make FOUR Masculine cards, Birthday, Love/Thinking of You, Anniversary and Encouragement. I must use THREE techniques I have learned so far ( I may have used more, smiles). So sit back and enjoy the ride! Supplies:

Next up, features my own technique, broken glass...Anniversary Card
To finish off, I am also showing a technique I have done and learned years ago- it's called broken glass or stained glass- it is REALLY hard to capture the beauty of this card as an amateur photographer... it's SO stunning and SO awesome in person.
Technique:
In June, it will be my 19th Wedding Anniversary, I can't wait to give this to my hubs! He will love it! Before I go, I have ONE more surprise, a 3D decor' piece that is also part of my exam. I needed to alter/up-cycle something. I decided to take a blah wall hanging from Target to make it my own, my youngest graduates next year so I need to start making fun things to have at her party. This will definitely be on display! Supplies:

Thank you Erum and Virginia for pushing me out of my comfort box to make some masculine cards. I hope you loved them as much as I do.
This completes ALL my requirements for my Journey to Certification, level two. Blessings, ♥ Christine

I can't even begin to tell you what a brilliant job you did with this challenge! First of all, the 4 cards are beautifully designed and executed! I love how you used the same stamp set and make each theme work so fabulously! This takes a lot thoughts and planning and you really ACED it! As for the color scheme and overall design, you make each different yet cohesive as a set! I am so proud what you have done here! BRAVO on your home decor projects as you turned a ho-hum wall art into a personalized and gorgeous display! Thanks so much for entering your beautiful work in Altenew AECP assignment Gallery. Beautiful colors and design. Well done!
