One of the recent classes I completed through the Altenew Academy was titled 'For The Guys'. I found this class so helpful, as masculine cards are something I don't often have to make and I do struggle with them. The class was run by Jennifer Rzasa and I used her tips on adding geometric shapes for my project.
As I don't have any geometric shaped stamps in my stash, I decided to use the Altenew Cube Builder stencil. I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb cardstock to a 6"x6" square and used the Altenew Sweet Dreams mini ink cube set to ink up the stencil. I started with Galactric Stream, then used Aqualicious followed by Dew Drops. I love how this background turned out!
I then cut the completed panel down to 4.75"x4.75" and mounted it onto a 5" square card base. I then die cut the 'hb' from the Bold Alpha die set from Neenah cardstock and used foam tape to attach it to the stamped piece. I inked up a small strip of Neenah with Teal Cave ink and when it was dry I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Birthday Builder stamp set in versamark and heat embossed with pure white crisp embossing powder.

This looks so good! The colours look great, and the simplicity of the design makes the card pop. I also love the use of stark white, it really balances the card.
Thank you for entering your work to the AECP assignment gallery. Well done!
