AECP - Let It Shine!

Hi friends!

Wishing you a wonderful start to your weekend!

Today, I'm excited to share my completed card for the next course 

in the AECP Altenew Academy Level 1 journey!

This exciting and glittery course was taught by the talented

Carissa Wiley and it's called Let It Shine!

She is truly Queen of Sparkle!

My card was so incredible fun to create and the good kind of messy.

I started with the set Bountiful Bouquet from Altenew 

and stamped/die cut directly onto a mixed media panel.

The panel was created by using the super fun Lindy's Magicals

including the Halloween set.

I loved the organic look to the panel and it has so much shimmer

and shine when it moves around in the light.

"Don't overlook embossing when adding shine!"

I love this tip from Carissa!

I had just received an order which included the 

Gold glitter cardstock - gilded set and it was perfect for the sentiment!

I die cut the Thank You using the Timeless Sentiments die set

and the gold shimmer helps to pick up the shimmer in the paint.

"Images have a beautiful shimmer with a dark background"

I chose a dark green cardstock from Stampin' Up 

 to compliment the rose/gold tones in the floral image.

 For the final glitz, I added some flecks of metallic paint

to the background of the cardstock to highlight the gold

and a few enamel golden dots sprinkled around.

One finally look, my supervisor has given her PAW-proval!

Thanks for stopping by!
