Autumn You Know - Maker Forte and Pigment Powders

 

Hey crafty friends!  I'm back sharing a very colourful Autumn card.  I was inspired by the beautiful colours of the changing leaves back home in Canada in the Fall.  They truly are a gorgeous thing to see if you haven't ever....that's one of the things I miss about back home, so I thought that I would try to recreate them or try my very best to.  When I saw the new Falling for You stamp set designed by Jess Francisco, which is part of the Falling Into Fall New Release over at Maker Fort, I knew it would be perfect!

Love You - Maker Forte

 

Hey crafty friends!  I've got a card filled with happy rainbow colours today and lots of sparkle...black sparkle!  For my card I used one of the new release stamp sets as well as a fun stencil from Maker Forte and both designed by Alex Syberia.  It is a bit different than her usual gorgeous flowers, but it is filled with lots of fabulous big and bold sentiments.

Just an fyi...the lighting was horrible when I took this, please don't hold that against me 😆

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful - Maker Forte

 

Hi crafty friends...I'm sharing a floral slimline card with you today.  I'm a sucker for a beautiful floral and this one doesn't disappoint!  This is a gorgeous large floral made to fit a slimline card perfectly. When it comes to cards, I usually just stay in my comfort zone of the usual A2 size, I don't make alot of slimline cards.  I have 2 mediocre excuses reasons why....#1, I find them harder to photograph and #2, they use up too much of my precious paper lol.. But I had no excuse not to make one when I received this set!

Hello friends...today I have card to share with you for the Polychromatic class for my level 2 AECP certification.  This class was taught by the very talented Nina-Marie Trapani and is filled with so many tips, techniques and lots of beautiful inspiration for adding colour to your cards.  For my project I decided to focus on the lesson on watercolouring with similar colours or rather in my case....the same colour.  

Creative Watercolor Media - AECP

 

 Hello and welcome back!  Today I have my project to share with you for the Creative Watercolor Media class for my level 2 in the AECP.  This class was taught by 3 amazing and very talented artists....Jennifer Rzasa, Laura Bassen and Debby Hughes.  I am always in complete awe of Debby Hughes' work...she is an amazing watercolorist (is that a word?), so I decided to do one of the techniques she taught.....ink smooshing with masking using Altenew inks.
