ALTENEW ACADEMY DAY 2

Justine's challenge homework for us on day 2 of Progressive Cardmaking was to try the same design with different size borders.  Since I had the large peony bloom on my desk, I just went with that as my stamp.  

I stamped the flower on a piece 4.25x5.5" cs and masked it for stamping the leaves.  Then I masked off the edges with some 1" post-it tape and blended the blue inks in the center.  Trimmed it to 3.45x5" and mounted on an A2 card base.  Left off a sentiment until I need a card with a particular sentiment.

For my second card, I kicked up the stamping a notch. With the MISTI, I stamped the flower and the leaves on an A2 card base and a piece of 4.25x5.5" cs.  Then I trimmed the single sheet and did the ink blended rectangle.  Matched this piece to the card base, added the sentiment and some sequins and done.  On both cards I used a blue set of Altenew inks and their small blending brush.

Thanks for stopping by today.
