Hi everyone,
I'm back today with an AECP class that I did for Level 3: Elements of Floral Composition. This was such a fun class with lots of interesting elements. I actually ended up creating three cards for this class and I tried to get as many of the class elements as possible in each card. With the description of each card, I will briefly mention how I used the different elements of the class.
For my first card I used the Garden Picks 3D Die Set and die cut all the different layers from yellow, orange and red ink blended card stock. A fun idea I picked up in the class is to die cut the foliage out of washi tape, I used Gilded Ombre Washi tape. The background is the Watercolor Stripes Cover Die and I inked it up with some blue and grey inks.
Color: 60% blues/greys, 30% yellows/oranges, 10% gold
Value: bright colored flowers and lighter toned foliage and background
Texture: 3D Layering Die
Form: Cover Plate adhered with foam tape
Space: rule of thirds
I created my second card with the
Hibiscus Garden 3D die set and used a mix of pinks and reds for the big flowers and yellows and oranges for the small flowers. In the background I added a subtle detail with the Color Block Triangle stencil in light pink. As a finishing touch I added silver metalic watercolor splatters.
Color: 60% pinks/reds, 30% greens, 10% yellows/oranges
Value: brighter flowers, lighter foliage and stenciled background
Shape: triangle
Texture: 3D layering die
Form: foam tape
Space: rule of thirds
And last but not least I created a third card for this class. I started ink blending my background in a light grey, dried it and then used the same grey with the
Vintage Tapestry stencil for a subtle detail in the background. This stencil has two layers and I added the second detailed layer with glitter paste. The flowers are from the
Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp set.
Color: 60% greys, 30% yellow, 10% glitter
Value: brighter flowers, lighter background
Shape: circle
Texture: glitter paste
Form: foam tape
Space: rule of thirds
I highly recommend this class. Not everything was new to me, but I definitely picked up some new ideas and tricks!
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
