The Journey Begins

Welcome to my Altenew journey! I'm currently taking courses to get certified as an Altenew instructor. This blog will be where I post any projects and classes I'm offering.

To get certified, a candidate has to complete 3 levels which contain 10 courses each. I finally finished my first course, which was a long one, All About Layering 3. I created a card for each of the 6 lessons in the first course.

Repeat the same stamp all over, and quickly watercolor using two colors for each box. Foil makes all the difference in a simple stamped card. The gold mirror specialty paper is the star on this card. A simple black & white image would work just fine for this very simple design, but I just couldn't help myself and I had to color this beautiful image.
