Somehow I missed the info regarding Therese's Altenew Academy 3D Floral Focus class. Luckily, Betty posted some of her homework, so the next day I signed up & started watching the videos. Love the class & I watched all the videos in 2 days. Not sure when I'll finish the homework, but I do have cards made for the first 3 lessons. I used Altenew Fantasy Floral Die set & Altenew Painted Greetings stamp set.
Day 1: The Basics
I had fun making a red, white & blue card for my sister & brother in law who are both dealing with some health issues. This will be instead of a July 4th card this year.
Day 2: Monochromatic
I used the same blue & white cardstocks I had out for my next flower. Gotta say, I really love the look of this one. For added fun, I covered the 3rd layer with prisma glitter--so beautiful!
The card front was splattered with the same blue ink I used for the sentiment. I'm also entering ModSquad, WAW & SSS Wednesday.
Day 3: Inlay Die Cut
This one was a bit tricky to do with the Fantasy Floral blossom die. I almost gave up, but did end up with a flower I liked. Hard to tell, but the bottom layer & card front are silver metallic cardstock.
Great to have used a lot of my bits & pieces, so I have fewer scraps left over. I decided embellishments weren't needed with the sparkle from the metallic cardstock. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
They are ALL so elegant Greta! I love the red, white, & blue theme you've got going on and the fact that they are "just because" types of cards and not just 4th of July... Beautifully done and I know your Sister & Brother in law will love that first one! Have a great weekend! :)
