Good morning everyone! I am here with my first project for level 2 of the Altenew Academy program. I am so happy to have passed level 1 and I have a new badge to show!!
The first class is the Beyond Basic Backgrounds. I thought I knew a lot about card backgrounds but I learned several new ones during this video. The one I was most leery about was the bleaching. In the past it was using actual bleach and hoping you didn't ruin your stamps in the process.
I'm happy to say that we didn't use bleach! We used distress ink, water and a stamp. Who knew? I've had these inks for quite some time and never thought I could use them that way!! I used the charmed stamp set for my bleaching and the sentiments as well.
Here are some close-ups. I used some gold washi tape down the one side and then attached my finished panel.
I love how the "bleaching" is subtle and doesn't take over the background of the card. There's just a hint of white popping through.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!
Congratulations for new badge Diana! Glad you make it too. Let's continue our journey!
