Altenew : Creative Watercolor Media

My next take is on the aecp lesson, Creative Watercolor Media. This class helps us in giving your coloring supplies a new life! In this class, you will learn to take inks, re-inkers, and sprays and turn them into fun watercolor mediums! This is great for any crafter, new and seasoned, to enjoy more use out of their existing Altenew supplies. Here, Jennifer Rzasa, Debby Hughes, and Laura Bassen have really done a great job by explaining us the things in detail. With such a line up of teachers you can imagine the quality of the class!

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Take a Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock and stamp the Canterbury Bells on it with sweet dreams and green valley crisp dye ink set.
2. Die cut it with the coordinating die set from Altenew.

TIPS

• Use a stamping tool to stamp your florals. It makes stamping large solid images so much easier since you can double and triple stamp. the included bar magnet can be used to quickly and easily position your cardstock, and the included grid paper makes it easy for you to lay out and align your card’s design.
• Before stamping, use an Anti-Static Pouch tool to remove static from your paper so the powder doesn’t stick where you don’t want it.
• When doing stamp layering, start with the lightest ink color first and then build up to the darkest.
