THANKZZZZZ Card with Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

HELLO and HAPPY FRIDAY!!  =)
I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog and I have the SWEETEST Thank You Card to share today!! =) I've used the Newly Released Winston's Honeybees Stamp Set along with the Hanging Around Stamp Set!! I wanted to create a Sweet Water Colored Scene and I LOVE the way it turned out!!
  

 I started by Die Cutting a FUN Cloud Shaped Edge using a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Border Builders Die Set from some Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then in order to get the Stitched Edge all the way around my Cloud Shaped Panel I Die Cut it again using the Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Mats Rectangle Die Set!! I then Stamped and Embossed my Scene onto the Panel!! Then I used my Distress Inks to Water Color the Scene!! Now if you wanted a FUN One Layer Card you could STOP right there!! =)
I just CAN'T STOP though!! LOL!!
So I decided to add Dimension by Stamping and Embossing the Images again and Water Coloring them with the same Distress Ink Water Color washes and Fussy Cutting them out!! I wanted to add some Sparkle and Shine to the Wings of the Bees so I covered them with some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker and then I coated them with some WoW Clear Embossing Powder!! I did this a Couple Times and SQUEAL!! I just LOVE the way it looks in real life!! =) Then I took my White Gel Pen and added some Highlight Dots to the Bee Bodies and to the Bee Hive !! I used the Black Soot Distress Marker to go around the Edges for a Clean Edge and then I used some Foam Tape to Pop them up off the Card!! A few Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Clear Sequins finishes off my Card!! I hope you feel INSPIRED!!??

Don't FORGET to come back on MONDAY May 16th for the New Newton's Nook Designs May Release Week!! OMG!! You're going to just LOVE LOVE LOVE the New Products!! =)

Hello!!

Welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs April Release!! SQUEAL!! You're going to LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Stamp Sets!! Today we're showcasing the New "Winston's Honeybees" Stamp Set!! Just look at these Images!! Aren't they FUN!!?? =)

I'm not gonna lie, the Sweet Winston Image is my FAVORITE!! =)

I'm still recovering from my Surgery, but I have a FUN Tag to share with you today!! I also have a Story to share!! We've had Honeybee's on our Farm for the last 4 Years!! =) A couple of Honeybee Keepers came to our Farm one day asking if we'd be Interested in housing some of their Honeybee Boxes and in return we would not only get the benefits of having the Honeybees around the Farm to help Pollinate the Alfalfa, Wild Flowers, Trees ect. but, we'd also get ALL of the Honey we could use!! =) So WIN WIN Right!!?? They're actually used for Pollinating Almonds in California!! Once they are done with Pollinating the Almonds in California they bring them out to our Farm here in Nebraska so they can rest!! Then before Winter hits they take them to South Dakota to Hibernate!! It has been such an AMAZING Experience!! I NEVER knew they did so much and that they traveled ALL over for the safety of the Honeybees!! Infact they should be arriving back to the Farm any day now!! =)

So as soon as I saw this Set, I just KNEW I had to use it to create a Tag to adorn a Jar of our Farm Fresh/Raised and Harvested Honey!!  =) I Stamped and Embossed the Winston Image onto a Wooden Tag using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and some WoW Ultra Fine Clear Detail Embossing Powder!! I used my MISTI Stamping Tool just to insure I got a Crisp Image beings I was Stamping onto a Wooden Tag!! Then I used my Prisma Colored Pencils and Gamsol to Color in my Image!! I backed it with another Tag cut from some Patterned Paper!! I then Created a Sweet Ribbon Bow and my Tag was finished!! I just LOVE the way it turned out and I CAN'T WAIT to give this Jar of Honey away to Beckett's VERY AMAZING Teacher in a May Day Basket!! =)
