Hello Crafty Friends! Todays card is my submission to the Altenew Educator Certification Program Course: Seasonal Scene Building. The course covered various ways to create scenes in order to bring cards to life.
For my card today, I created a scene using the Altenew Build-A-Flower: Fashion Monger Dahlia Stamp with Coordinating Die Set and the Altenew Megal Label Love Sentiment Set to create a summer sky full of clouds for my flower to sit against.
To start my design, I ink blended clouds using a Cloud Stencil, blue ink, a blending brush and a light hand on a card panel measuring 3.5" x 4". The stencil is 4 sided, so as I blended down the card panel, I turned the stencil 1/4 turn in order to get different cloud shapes.
The Dahlia image and leaves are layering stamps so using my stamp positioner, I stamped the images using yellow, orange and green shades of inks. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies, adhered the leaves and mounted the floral on craft foam.
I mounted the blended panel and sentiment strip on craft foam and adhered all to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110 lb. card. Lastly, I added sequins for a bit of sparkle and shine.
This was a wonderful course that reminded me scene building does not have to include lots of images but can be as simple as my design here today...a simple sky and a floral to create a tranquil scene.
Thanks for visiting me today. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
