For my AECP Level 3, I recently took “Artists’ Watercolors 101 for Paper Crafters” with the wonderfully talented Emily Midgett, and let me tell you—this was no “splash on some color and call it a day” kind of class. No, this was watercolor boot camp… with beautiful results.

Learn how to make masculine handmade cards using flowers, gel printing, paper weaving, and paper piecing. No masculine stamps needed, no masculine dies needed — just creative techniques with supplies you already have.

In this post, I explore the Polychromatic AECP class by embracing all the colors of the rainbow! Using the Travel Boots stamp set, vibrant inks, and the Eclipse Technique, I created a playful “Hike” card that’s bursting with color and dimension—a joyful contrast to my previous monochromatic creation.
