HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!!
I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing a Sweet Owl Card!!
That adorable Owl is from the Cottage Garden Stamp Set, I paired it with the BEAUTIFUL Wreath, Flowers and Leaves ALL from the Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set!! Don't they look like they were just made to go together!!?? So AWESOME!!  I also Included the Bold Stem of Flowers under the Wreath from the Cottage Garden Stamp Set and added the Bow in the center is from the Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Images with Clear Embossing Powder and then used Distress Oxide Inks to add Color to the Die Cut Images!! Then I created a FUN Card Base using Distress Oxide Inks!! I added Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber, Barn Door and Spiced Marmalade to my Craft Mat and Sprayed it with Water than drag my Distress Watercolor Paper through it!! I added some more Water Droplets and then let it Dry!! Then added alittle more Ink and repeated the process a few times until I was HAPPY with the results!! I used a Lawn Fawn Scalloped Lace Circle Die Cut as my Scene Base and added some White Gel Pen Dot Details and some Faceted Gems to the Centers of the Flowers and my Card was done!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!

Folk Art Fox Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

HELLO!!
Today I'm sharing this Folk Art Fox Card I made for the Newton's Nook Designs Blog using the New Cottage Garden Stamp Set and the Coordinating Cottage Garden Die Set!!

 

I've been having a BLAST playing with the New Distress Oxide Inks from Tim Holtz and I created the AMAZING Teal Color on those Foxes by Layering Two Ink Colors, Cracked Pistachio and Faded Jeans!! After I Stamped and Embossed the images with Clear Embossing Powder, I trimmed them out using the coordinating Cottage Garden Die Set and added them on the card in a FUN Folk Art Pattern along with some of the other SWEET Images ALL from the Cottage Garden Stamp Set!! I rotated them in different directions to resemble a lovely Folk Art Pattern that you'd find on a Plate or Wall Hanging!! Then to finish off my card I added some Gems to the Flowers on the Images and some Black Gel Pen to the Eyes of each of the Fox Eyes then the "Hello, Friend" Sentiment Embossed in White Embossing Powder onto a Black Banner from the Garden Window Die Set!! Which is on SALE for this Week ONLY!! (Through April 14th)

It's MY FAVORITE Banner Die and I think if you'd look I use it on more than 1/2 of my Cards!! It's just the PERFECT Size!!  =)

Newton's Nook Designs March Release ~ Cottage Garden!! =)

HELLO!!
Happy Wednesday and Welcome to the Thrid day of the New Newton's Nook Designs March Release!! Today we're showcasing the New "Cottage Garden" Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Images and the New Dies and think you will too!! Let's take a Look at the FULL Sets, Sold Separately available Friday March 17th, 2017!!

SQUEAL!! How SWEET are those Images and that Die Set!!?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Beautiful Floral/Folk Art Details!! I CAN'T WAIT to share what I've made!!

How AMAZING is this "Cottage Garden" Stamp Set!! SWOON!! I'm in LOVE!! =)

I started with a Grey Card Base and then Die Cut a Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Panel and a Stitched Rectangle Panel!! I wanted to Play with my New Distress Oxide Inks and wanted to see if I could Water Color on the Stamps with them and Stamped using my Misti!!?? I found out that the Details and the Stamping are BEAUTIFUL!! =)

 

How FUN!!??  This is what the Panel Looked like after I Stamped it!!  =) Which on its own would make a BEATIFUL Card!! But I wanted to see what would happen if I Sprayed it with Water!! Well it Reacted and Bled until the Images were No longer a Detailed Image of Stamping anymore (similar to regular Distress Inks) except the Stamping is WAY more Crisp and the Colors are Variegated in hue and intensity!! It kept the Colors contained in there place so I Decided how AWESOME would it be to take the Stamps and Stamp and Emboss right over top of the Image I had initially Stamped with the Watercolor Distress Oxide Ink!! I Stamped with Vesa Fine Black Onyx Ink using my Misti to Line everything up and to be able to Double Stamp beings they are Solid Images!! The I covered them with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Set them!! I then took the matching Dies and Die Cut them out and placed them to create my Folk Art Pattern!!  I used the NND Flag Die from the Garden Window Die Set and Die Cut a Banner from some Black Cardstock and Embossed the Sentiment with White Embossing Powder!! Then I added some Faceted Gems to the Centers of the Flowers!! Black to the Bottom Flowers and a Redish/Pink Colored Gems for the other Flowers!!  I LOVE the way it turned out and hope you'll give this FUN technique a TRY!! =)
