You Are Amazing Card - Magical Marker Techniques - AECP Level 2

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my ninth completed AECP Level 2 – Magical Marker Techniques Card. 

The course demonstrated how to think outside the box and use the Altenew Artist Markers with different techniques. For today's card I used a few techniques to get more use out of my Altenew Artist Markers.


First I created my own background using the Press-and-Spritz Background Technique, but I used a brayer instead with the Altenew Artist Markers Mystic Garden Set J and rubbing alcohol. I rolled the brayer through the wash and across a piece of white cardstock. I just love the beautiful background I created with the Altenew Artist Markers.

Tip: Work quickly, because the Artist Markers dries fast.


Following on from this I used the Spatter Technique with the Altenew Artist Markers Rock Garden Set D, rubbing alcohol and a stipple brush. I spatter the Altenew Artist Marker Ink onto white cardstock and is such a great technique to use with the Altenew Artist Markers. 


I then stamped the Altenew Eclectic Bouquet Flower Stamp onto blending cardstock and coloured it with the Altenew Artist Markers Mystic Garden Set J and Rock Garden Set DThe Artist Markers just blends perfectly and the end result is a beautiful bright and striking coloured image. 

Following on from this I die-cut with the Altenew Eclectic Bouquet Flower Die and adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots.

To finish I then stamped the Altenew Delicate Garden Sentiment Stamp and heat emboss it. I adhered it onto the card front using foam tape and added gems which I coloured with the Altenew Artist Markers Mystic Garden Set J.

Tip: If you do not have the correct coloured gems, colour it with your Altenew Artist Markers.

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!
