Altenew Homework

Over at Altenew Academy, Marika Rahtu, has a fabulous class called "Beautiful Details".  Marika does the MOST AMAZING stamping and colouring.  She really is an artist..   Me not so much.  You really have to be patient to do her techniques.   I'm not patient!!!!

Day 1 Marika used some solid stamps to make her own flowers
Here is her card:

 Marika used a solid stamp from Painted Roses set which I don't have.  I do have Golden Garden which has some sketchy flowers.  I used one of the flowers and stamped it in Altenew blue ink doing first, second and even third generation stamping.  I used a pen to make sketchy lines

I smudged the stickles dots and creased it a little bit when I added the 3D tape.  I used black washi tape along the bottom.    The sentiment is from Kaisercraft.

I am not feeling confident that I can do the beautiful shading Marika does but if I get some time over the weekend, I am going to give it a try.

I'm going to finish off tonight with a photo of my little grandson.  He's 9 weeks old now and growing quickly.  With the internet, I am happy to say I get a photo or little video just about every day.

 Today was the first time he held onto his toy and of course the first place it went was into his mouth!

Thanks for stopping by.
