Clean & Simple Boutique Cards

I moved the stencil by flipping open at the hinge and moved the Post-It over the green and repeated the ink blending with the blue. Here, I ink bl...

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.  Lesson 1 Lesson 2 Lesson 3 Lesson 4 Lesson 5 Lesson 6
