Carissa Wiley teaches the AECP Let It Shine class for the Altenew Academy. It was a class filled with many different techniques for adding sparkle to cards. This class is one of the ten required classes for the Altenew Education Certification Level One Program. It has been my favorite thus far because it is all about adding shine and sparkle to cards from a teacher who really loves adding some glam to her projects.

| Inlaid Die Cutting |
Random pieces were colored with the following Copic colors: RV06, R27, YR09, Y08, YG07, B04, and B28. B28 is darker than the other hues so it was only used once. A piece of vellum placed over it helped tone it down and also gave a nice backdrop to the sentiment. Ink blending would also achieve a similar effect. However, I am a messy ink blender and the tiny pieces seemed like a recipe for inky fingers. Alternatively, I could have ink blended the cardstock prior to die cutting. My Copics have been neglected for awhile so it was nice to get them out for a bit to play.
A note about the Circled Greetings die - it is intended to be used as a cut-out rather than a stand-alone die cut. In order to cut it out as I have used it, I used the Hero Arts Nesting Circle Infinity die set. The third largest die is what gave a thicker border around the hello.
