I decided to give it another go when I saw Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge theme as 'Anything Goes'. This week the SSS DT are using Hero Arts Stamp's so I thought… Continue reading Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Anything Goes!

As I pick and choose my 5 classes as a part Level 3 for the Altenew Educator Certification Program, I am drawn to certain techniques in particular. Altenew's 'Easy as ABC' class, was one of them. First of all...I think Therese Calvird is a fantastic instructor and this class is no different. There's a lot… Continue reading Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) – Easy As ABC
I LOVE the look of Alcohol Inks, but am always hesitant to use them. However, as a part of Level 3 of the Altenew Educator Certification Program I took Altenew's 'Rethink Reinkers' course which opened up my eyes to using Altenew's Artist Markers refills as alcohol ink for this beautiful card. I cut a panel… Continue reading Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) – Rethink Reinkers

I've been on a vellum kick as of… Continue reading Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) – Beautiful Details

Alcohol Markers....well....yeah. I'm in no way an ARTIST especially with markers and/or crayons. I can't draw, sketch or colour to save my life! I can do some really basic things with these mediums, so I was nervous when i started Altenew's Magical Marker Techniques class. But It's part of the level 2 for the Altenew Educator Certification Program… Continue reading Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) -Magical Marker Techniques
Colour, colour and more colour! What about different shades of the same colour? Also known as monochromatic. I know, I know...the first thing you think of when you hear 'monochromatic' is grey, black....white? It doesn't have to be limited to that however. As a part of the Altenew Educator Certification Program I've taken a lot of… Continue reading Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) – Polychromatic
