I was having such a mental block on the Seasonal Scene Building Course that I am taking with Altenew. I tend to overthink A LOT about many things and this made the cut... HAHA!
So the Seasonal Scene Building course is about making scenes with your card making. Building up elements to create a certain area or place. I struggled with it. I have so many ideas in my head and then I have too many ideas and can't decide which one I want to go with. Ultimately, I just jumped in and decided that whatever I chose would be fine. I will get better at it as I go.
I kept the card simple only using a stencil to build the background with 3 inks, three stamped images and a sentiment. The last thing I added were the black enamel dots. You guessed it, 3 of them.
I ink blended the blue tone inks (blueberry, dark night & cloudy sky) using the Abstract Mountain stencil on a card panel I cut to measure 4 x 51/4 inches. I tried to create a lighter line under the mountain to give an illusion of water with a reflection of the mountains. I need to practice more, but I like the way it turned out for the first attempt. I used the Stamp Wheel to stamp my images and was also able to mask off the flower for the last set off grasses. I chose the "You are beautiful" sentiment from the Happy Flowers stamp set. I also added some spatter with the Permanent black Crisp ink and a little water. It gave a softer look with the water added and actually worked really well. I mount the base on a piece of black cardstock and adhered it to a card base. I then added the black enamel dots to complete the card.
I made another card earlier that fits with the scene building course that I added a photo of at the end of this post.
Thank you for stopping by! 🥰
