HELLO!!
Welcome to day one of the May Newton' Nook Designs Release Week!! Today we are showcasing the New Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set!!
SQUEAL!! Isn't this set and the coordinating Dies AMAZING!!??
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL of the possibilities with this New Set!! Infact I've made a Card and a Sweet Little Shaker Tag to share today!! =)
First my Card!!
I thought it would be FUN to Water Color the ENTIRE Card front, but I waned to make just the Center Wreath Image POP!! So I Stamped Several of the Wreath Images onto some Distress Watercolor Paper using some Gravel Gray MFT Hybrid Ink!! Then I used a Warm Grey and Light Grey Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to outline around the Wreath Images leaving all of the Flowers White!! I wanted them to Pop too!! Then I Stamped and Embossed another Wreath Image onto Distress Watercolor Paper using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink!! I then used more Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the Flowers!! I added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to the Flowers for some Sparkle after they were Dry!! For the Bow I Stamped and Embossed it and then die cut it onto Distress Watercolor Paper and Colored it to match the Lightest Purple!! Then I used my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to add Sparkle!! I then coated it with WoW Clear Embossing Powder to make it Shine!! I wanted the Wreath to pop up off the Card Front so I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment in the Center of the Wreath on the Card Front and then Die Cut some Fun Foam using the Coordinating Wreath Die!! I lined it up and glued it to Wreath Image and then Lined it up and Glued it to my Card Front!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it looks in real life!! For a finishing touch I added some Crystal Clear Pretty Pink Posh Sequins!!
I made an AMAZING discovery as I was working on my Projects!! The New Pretty Pink Posh Tag Dies Stitched Essentials 1 fit the Flower Cluster Images PERFECTLY from the New Happy Thoughts Stamp Set!! !! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Shaker Tag idea for Gifts and when the Images fit SO PERFECT with the Oval Window, to create a Wreath well its just SO BEAUTIFUL and meant to be RIGHT!!?? =) I used the New Pretty Pink Posh Wisteria Blossoms Sequin Mix and SQUEAL!! It just makes me HAPPY!! =)
