Majestic Bloom Card - All About Layering 3 - AECP

Hi Everyone, I am super excited to have been accepted into the Altenew Educator Certification Program! This program will give me the opportunity to enhance my skills, learn new techniques and work toward my goal of teaching both live and virtual workshops.

Today I am sharing with you my first completed AECP Level 1 – All About Layering 3 Card. The inspired course demonstrated how to use multiple stamps from a set, layer it with different inks and create a focal image.

I used the Altenew Majestic Bloom Add-On Stamp and decided to use a few techniques. First I used the Top and Bottom Stamping Technique. I found it easier to stamp the outline flower stamp first with black ink and then layer the other stamps with different inks. 

Following on from this I used the multiple flower stamps in the set and layered it using the Altenew Water Hyacinth, Alpine Aster, Crystal Violet and Indigo Skies Trailblazing Fresh Dye Inks. I just love the beautiful dark to light shading I achieved with the inks.

I then used the masking technique to stamp the flower randomly around the first flower at the bottom and once more at the top. Again I layered the flower stamps using the fresh dye inks.

Tip: Stamp the Majestic Bloom Stamp onto a post-it-note and then fussy-cut it to create a mask flower.

Following on from this I also used the masking technique to stamp the leaves using the Altenew Eucalyptus and Forest Fern Fresh Dye Inks.

I then coloured the leaves using the Altenew Hawaiian Shores Brush & Fine Tip Pens (Water-Based) and a water brush.

To create 3D dimension images I stamped the flower stamp twice onto cardstock with black ink, layered the flower stamps using the fresh dye inks and fussy-cut it.

To finish I heat embossed a sentiment and added some gems.

I will share more of my projects from the AECP as I work my way through the courses so stay tuned for more cardmaking posts!
