HELLO and HAPPY FRIDAY!! =)

Today I'm joining in as part of the Newton's Nook Designs May Flower's Blog Hop with Newton's Nook Designs!! I just LOVE this time of year!! =) You're in for a REAL Treat as there's NO shortage of AMAZING Inspiration being shared today, so I hope you'll hope along with us!! Plus, did I mention there's even a COUPLE chances to WIN!! =)

I wanted to use the BOLD Fanciful Florals Stamp Set cause I just can't seem to be able to put it down!! There are SO MANY Techniques you can do with it!!

Speaking of Techniques, I also made this BEAUTIFUL Bracelet last year for my Mother for Mother's Day using the same Fanciful Florals Stamp Set!! You can find out more about how I created this HERE!!

For my Card today I  Stamped and Embossed all of my images onto Distress Water Color Paper!! Some I stamped directly onto my Card Front and others I stamped on a separate piece knowing I'd be Fussy Cutting them out for my Design!! Then I added some Water Color using my Distress Markers!! I wanted a faint wash of Color behind ALL of the different Flowers and then I added Foam Tape to the backs of the Blooms and created a grouping!! I LOVE the way it came together!! I had a Metal Butterfly in my Stash so I added some Water Color to the back and some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker for some Shine!! A Few Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Sequins and my Card was done!! =)

3-D Peek-A-Boo Flowers for the WaterColor Blog Hop!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share another Card I've made for the Water Color Blog Hop hosted by Pretty Pink Posh!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE all of the EYE CANDY that has been shared so far so I hope you'll join along if you have some time!! It ends Tonight June 8th at 11:59 PST!! I had picked up the Pretty Pink Posh Peek-A-Boo Die during the last Ellen Hutson 25% off Sale!!

I have been WANTING it for awhile and for some reason as soon as I saw it I wanted to make Flowers!! I thought it would be FUN to LAYER Several Die Cuts together that I had Curled the Edges on and then Stamp a Flower Image for the Center so that it really looks like a 3-D Flower on the Card!! After looking at my Stamps I decided the Newton's Nook Designs Fanciful Florals Stamp Set was the PERFECT Option for the Styke of Flower I was going for, but there are SO MANY Options with this Technique!! SQUEAL!!  =)
I used a Double Sided Crate Paper Glitter Striped Paper with Pink on the other side!! I LOVE the way it looks Rolled!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Flowers onto some Distress Water Color Paper and then I used my Distress Markers to Water Color them!! I then covered then with some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker!! I Die Cut some Leaves from a MFT Leaf Die and folded them for a 3-D look too!! I layered everything together after I added Tumbled Glass Water Color to the whole base of my Card Front then a couple Splatters for added dimension!! I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment and then added a couple 4mm Gold Metallic Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and my Card was finished!!
 

 I hope you'll Visit the Pretty Pink Posh Blog to check out all of the AMAMZING Inspiration even if it you weren't able to play along!! It's just FULL of BEAUTY and S WORHT the Visit!! =)
I'm also linking this up to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: For the LOVE of Plants!! =)

Mother's Day Card & Bracelet with Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

                                              The Sunrise this Morning!! =)
Hello!!
HAPPY Friday!! I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today!!
WOW!! I can't believe the First Week in May is already in the Books and we are headed to my Baby Sister's College Graduation tomorrow!! So Funny to think how FAST Time Fly's By!! Mother's Day is on Sunday so I thought it'd be FUN to share a BEAUTIFUL Mother's Day Card and a Gift that you can re-create in order to give to that Special Mother/Woman in your life using your Newton's Nook Designs Stamps!! =)  I'm using the New Fanciful Florals Stamp Set for my card today, but you could use the  NND Beautiful Blossoms or the Love Grows Stamp Sets to create a similar Design!! =)
   
I started by using Two Different Ink Colors to Ink up my Flower Images!! I LOVE the Dimension it adds to the Images!! I've used SSS Cotton Candy and WPlus9 Cranberry Crush for the Smaller Flower!! SSS Maliblue, WPlus9 Ocean Drive and SSS Lemon Chiffon for the Larger Flower and SSS Beanstalk Green and WPlus9 Mojito for the Leaves!! I wanted something to center my Design so I used the MFT Sentimental Flourish Frame Die and I die Cut it from MFT Smooth White CardStock!! I Layered it all together to create a BEAUTIFUL Grouping onto a Piece of Vellum!! I added some Distress Ink Spray Stain in Tumbled Glass to the Base of my Card for a Soft Glow underneath the Vellum!! I also decided to Stamp and Emboss my Sentiment from the Love Grows Stamp Set on the Base Layer as well to keep the over all Design Soft!! I've added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to the Center of the Flowers and a few Prima Blink Pearls and a few Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Sequins and my card was done!! For my Bracelet I used the same Etching Technique that I've hared in this Post!! I used the Small Flower Image from the Set and I LOVE the Two-Tone Design it created!! I added some Turquoise and Pearl Beads using Gold Plated Jump Rings and then I created Several Cha-Cha Styled Red Seed Bead Charms to add some Movement and I'm SO EXCITED about it how it turned out!!  =)

I hope this gives a Few Ideas of some ways you can use your Newton's Nook Designs to create a Few BEAUTIFUL Mother's Day Gifts!!?? It could even be used for Graduation Gifts as well!! =)
