AECP For The Guys

Hello crafty friends!! Today, I want to share a card I made for the Altenew Educator Certification Program's class - For The Guys. I love making masculine cards! When I took this class, all I could think about was the It's For You stamp and die set, which is a set that I LOVE! I love vintage and this phone is so vintage and I love it!
The phone is a layering stamp set, so I took the last image in the layering sequence since it has the most detail and stamped it multiple times on a piece of card stock in gray ink in a random order. I then randomly stamped the Ring Ring sentiment in between the phones in a teal ink. The inks I used were Catherine Pooler inks. I then took some Jet Black Altenew ink and water to add some splatter on my background piece. Once that was done, I cut it down to 3.75"x5" and then added a minty colored cardstock for the mat. 
I then stamped my layering phone in a light mint, teal and black (in that order) and then used the coordinating die to cut it out. To add something extra, I decided to stamp some cardstock with the Altenew Dotted Diamonds stamp, which is one of my FAVORITE background stamps, and cut a strip to go behind my phone. I then took some teal ink and slid the ink pad on some cardstock so I would have matching colored cardstock and cut out the Hello die and popped it up with some foam tape. I then heat embossed the Let's Chat Soon sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips set on black card stock with white embossing powder and cut out with my scissors and glued it on top of the hello piece. I then glued the card panel onto a black 110lb card base and added some black jelly heart embellishments to tie it al together. 
I love this card and think that it is a great masculine card for the guys. I hope you enjoy it and I will see you soon with another Altenew project!
​Happy Crafting Y'all!!
