Altenew Educators’ “Macho Makes” Instagram Hop + Giveaway

I made this card for the Altenew Educators’ “Macho Makes” Instagram Hop + Giveaway. If you would like to join the hop, please visit my Instagram post. The last day to enter is the 20th of June.

I started by placing the dies from the Calming Koi Die Set on Neenah 110lb cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine. I repeated this step one more time. Next, I inked the third layer of the Koi Fish using Amber Blaze and Citrus Burst Fresh Dye Inks and ink blending brushes.

Then I used the 02 Fine Liner Pen to draw the eyes. You can also use the stamp set to stamp the eyes. After that, I placed the Calming Koi Stamp Set on my Stampwheel and stamped the marks using Amber Blaze and Melted Butterscotch Fresh Dye Inks. To stamp the last layers, I used Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then assembled the koi using art glitter glue.

After that, I placed the Water Builder Stencil on a white A2 cardstock and inked it using Lagoon and Emerald Fresh Dye Inks. Then I flipped the stencil and used Mountain Mist Fresh Dye Ink to ink the panel.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on Neenah Solar white cardstock using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Then I trimmed it to a thin strip using the Tim Holtz Trimmer.

Lastly, I stuck the images on the card front and stuck this panel on an A2 card base.
