Poinsettia Card - Let It Shine - AECP

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my sixth completed AECP Level 1 – Let It Shine Card. 

The course demonstrated how to determine some of the best ways to add shine to your cards. For today's card I made a Christmas card. When I hear glitter and sparkle, the first thing that I am thinking of is Christmas. I have used a few techniques creating my card.

First I used the Stencil and Foil Technique and created a beautiful foil texture background.

Following on from this I used the Masking Technique and stamped the Altenew Dry Brush Poinsettia Stamp and Altenew Pine Cone Stamp onto cardstock using the Altenew Woodland Escape Fresh Dye Ink, Frosted Foliage Fresh Dye Ink and Altenew Summer Afternoon Crisp Dye Ink. 

I then fussy-cut the focal point image and adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots. 

To finish I stamped the Altenew Dry Brush Poinsettia Sentiment Stamp. Added glitter, crystal drops and gems onto the pine cones, poinsettia and card front.

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!
