Thinking Of You

My final challenge for Level 1 of the Altenew Educator Program is to make a card or project using any 3 components from the required courses and use the theme get well or thinking of you. 
The three Altenew Academy Classes I drew ideas from when creating this card were:
Let It Shine- Lesson 2 Embossing Powder
Easy Ink Blending Techniques - Lesson 4 Emboss Resist
Seasonal Scene Building - Lesson 6 Shaker Scene

My colors were inspired by a bottle of lotion I have with the prettiest colors on the label of rose gold , mint green and white glitter. I embossed the bear in rose gold then blended pistachio Distress Ink over the image.  I splattered on some water and blotted with paper towel to add some texture to the background.  The sentiment is heat embossed on heat resistant acetate.  This was a bit tricky.  I found it easiest to get the sentiment straight by first adhering the acetate to the shaker frame then stamping and heat embossing using my Misti positioning tool.  I also had quite a bit of fluming (bits of embossing powder sticking to the acetate where I didn't want it) even though I used an anti static embossing buddy.  

Carissa Wiley adds detail to her cards using thin strips of card-stock, glitter card-stock and patterned paper this inspired the strips of card-stock I adhered to the card. one strip is white glittered card-stock and the other two strips I made  to match. 

Stamps used:  Bear from Altenew and sentiment from Hero Arts

Shaker crystals and beads from Studio Katia.
