With A Twist

Hello there! Welcome to my blog! Today I would like to share a card I made for the With A Twist Course by Altenew Academy. In this course, Therese Calvird shares how to add a twist to your card to make it look unique and gorgeous. For my card, I followed a couple of techniques from this course.

I used the colours from the Altenew September Challenge picture as my inspiration for this card.

I started by die cutting a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock using the Leaf Frame Cover Die. Then I stamped the tulip from the Exotic Tulips Stamp Set on the rectangular cardstock of the die cut panel. Below are the colours I used:

Tulip
1st Layer – Blush
2nd Layer – Crimson
3rd Layer – Velvet

Leaves and stem
1st Layer – Parrot
2nd Layer – Shadow Creek

Next, I added details to the image using my Polychromos – 223, 225 and 167. After that, I masked the image and inked the background using Parrot Crisp Dye ink along with my blender brush. I then splattered black ink using the Jet Black watercolor pen.

Then I stamped the sentiment from the Envelope Art Stamp Set on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Next, I stamped the banner from the same stamp set. Since I wanted the banner to be smaller, I used my Copic Multiliner pen and drew lines on both sides of the sentiment. I then stamped the two edges of the banner, fussy cut them and assembled all the pieces using art glitter glue.

To create the card base, I cut a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock to 4 1/4 * 5 5/8 inches using my trimmer and scored it at 1/8 inches. I then stuck the Misty Meadows Washi Tape on the panel and cut off the excess. Next, I stuck a rectangle on the card base to write a note to the receiver.

After that, I die cut another piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock using the Leaf Frame Cover Die. Next, I stuck the first die cut piece on an A2 Acetate sheet and stuck this panel on the scored card base. Then I stuck the second die cut panel on the back of the Acetate to make the card look neater.

Lastly, I stuck the sentiment banner on the card panel.
