Hello. The weather is starting to get a bit chilly here so I decided to warm myself up with a beach card.

I started by stamping the image from Newtons Nook set Aloha Newton on to blending card and used Copic markers to colour it in. I then fussy cut the image and went around the edges with a black Copic marker.

Next I worked on the beach background using distress inks and a blending tool on watercolour paper.

I used a stitched border from Lawn Fawn and put it through my big shot die cutting machine.

I adhered the cat image to the beach background then worked on the background of the card. I used Newtons Nook Tropical Leaves stencil with distress ink on green cardstock to create this.

I also stenciled this on a small piece of card and die cut this with a small Lawn Fawn stitched border. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and heat embossed it with Papermabia white embossing powder.

I backed the small sentiment on to white card to make a thin border and placed all the pieces together.

I rounded the edges of the card and placed it on to a top folding card to finish.

Today I made a quick Christmas card.

I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Upon a Star. I stamped the cute animals on to X-Peess it blending card with Memento tuxedo black ink then did some simple colouring with Copic markers. I fussy cut the images and went around the edges with a black Copic marker.

Next I worked on the background.

I used watercolour paper and distress ink to make a night sky then with a white gel pen made small dots to look like snow.

I used the Lawn Fawn hillside border dies on white cardstock to make the snow drifts using my Big shot die cutting machine.

Next I used the Santa sleigh die on black cardstock to cut the sleigh image. I coated it in Papermania black embossing powder and melted it with my heat tool.

I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and used silver Papermania embossing powder and melted it with my heat tool.
Finally I put it all together and mounted the picture on some dark red cardstock and adhered it to a top folding card base.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hello. I hope you are having a great day. Today I am sharing with you my latest design using Newtons Nook stamp set Newtons Rainy Day.

I started by stamping the main stamp image onto X-Peess it blending card using Memento tuxedo black ink and coloured it using Copic markers.

I then fussy cut the image and used a black pen to highlight the eyes on the animals. I also went around the edge of the image with a black Copic marker. I used Glossy Accents to make the puddle shiney.

Next I worked on the background using distress inks and a blending tool on watercolour paper. I used My Favourite Things mini cloud edges stencil for the sky and sprayed some water on the green ink. I then used a Zig clean colour real brush pen to add marks to give the impression of grass.

Next I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and heat embossed it with Papermania silver embossing powder. I then stuck the main image on the card and added the rain drop stamp from the set for the rain using Lawn Fawn mermaid ink.

I backed this on to some purple cardstock to give a thin frame and adhered this to a top folding card base.

Here is the finished card.
