AECP - Polychromatic.


I've been working on my certification and revisited the class called Polychromatic.  This class was led by Nina-Marie Trapani and is all about colours.... Each lesson took us through different ways to use colour including using one colour only which is where I took my inspiration.


I used some purple card and stamped the flowers from the Engraved Flowers set a number of times in Hydrangea ink.  I then used Prismacolour pencils to added extra colour.  I stamped and die cut the Beautiful from the Simple Flowers set.  I did a inlaid die technique by die cutting the sentiment partially from the patterned piece and inlaying the white die cut.  Finished with some white Nuvo drops.

This class is one I keep revisiting as the ideas and techniques that Nina-Marie taught are so interesting and inspiring. 

And here is another card I made using some new Altenew dies and stamps.  I was inspired by the use of various tones of the same colours. 


To die cut the roses I started with white card stock and blended four pink inks onto them and then die cut the different elements of each rose. These were added to the base with dimensional tape.  I die cut the leaves from a textured green card and added behind the flowers.  The sentiment is from the More than Words set.   Added some Nuvo drops in a Pearl sheen to finish. 

Thanks for stopping by today...
