One Layer Wonders Day 6 with Kelly Lavetola

The last day of this One layer Wonder class over at the Altenew Academy taught by Kelly Lavetola.

First thing I notice that I would do differently is leave more space between my sentiment and the hand drawn lines...at least more space between the first top and bottom closest to the sentiment.

And second, I sure need more practice with watercolor because I still get the drying lines and I don't really like them.  Also, one of the reasons I LOVE Altenew stamps is for their magnificent layering, so I didn't have a bouquet stamp for this final technique...I used an Essentials by Ellen, the Mondo Hydrangea.  My background stamp (barely visible) is a PTI "Cover-Up Diamond" stamp.

I did use the Distress Oxide inks and then copics to add the layering.

I learned a lot in this class...it went by fast and every day I looked forward to watching the new video.

thanks for stopping by friends!  Hope you all are having a great day!

My sentiment is from an Altenew set called:  Painted Butterflies!

Heart Hugs, friends!

CAS Mix UP June Challenge Jump Start Copic

I saw a very cool technique that Loll reminded me I love, so I used my new Essentials by Ellen: Mondo Hydrangea and used my copics because I took Sandy Allnocks Jump Start Class and I needed to color this image.

I stamped the flower, did a little masking for the leaf, then I die cut with a Lil' Inkers Stitched rectangle die.  I colored only the smaller rectangle with copics...added a few falling petals too. I adhered that smaller piece with foam.

You only have until the 24th to make a card for this challenge!
