AECP 2- Monochromatic Red Rose

Hello everyone,

I am so glad you stopped by at my blog and I am thrilled to show off this gorgeous Rose that I made for my homework for Altenew's level 2 Educator's Certification Program for the class of Polychromatic. I know - This Monochromatic card may not match with what I just said. But in the Class the instructor, Nina, has a lesson of using soft pastel colors for a beautiful background - and I thought why not use her idea - and make it BOLD!

I am sooo thrilled with what I could achieve! Can you guess what I have done here? 

I chose one of my favourite Altenew Stamps - Rose Tea (some other cards with this set - here, here and here)  for this card and started with Stamping the Rose with Crimson ink and also made a mask that was later used to stamp the leaves in Obsidian Black. And I must admit when I started coloring it with Red Copic family on the Coral cardstock, I was not sure if I will be able to leave the right amount of Coral as highlights, or at the folds of the petals and sometimes I even lost my lightest color, but I came back after all my copic coloring and used a White pencil with a colorless blender pencil to give highlights to my Petals and leaves.

I still am learning but am very proud of how this card turned out. More because, I don't think I would have even attempted a Monochromatic card with a Bold red. Sometimes, life shakes you and tells you - you are the only one - who is stopping you! 

And I hope I will stop limiting myself.
