Newton's Nook Designs March Release - Basket of Wishes

well, it's the last day of the newton's nook march release!! i can't believe it's here already! 

this is an AMAZING set! perfect for tags, layouts, cards, anythign! and the best news is they'll be available for purchase march 21st here! :)

i think this set is SO versatile! 
first i combined the set with newton's antics!


the yarn was just CALLING to me! :)
i decided to watercolor with my distress inks! AND i even masked! that's unheard of for me people!! lol!! i have little newton hiding behind the basket of yarn, about to take off with one he stole!

ha ha!

 and lastly, i decided to show that you can totally use this set without the basket too!! i stamped the champaign top over some thickers! 

and then, i used a technique that i saw fellow DT member, Danielle, use once: i heat embossed my thickers!!! um, this is amazing people! so FUN! so i turned my white thickers, that were the RIGHT size, but wrong color, into the RIGHT color (GOLD!!!) and the right size! genius!!

to top it all off, i speckled some small, large, flat, and faceted gold sequins and wood veneers to give a sort of confetti feel!

 what do you think? are you in love with this set as much as i am?? and did i mention how much i love that color combination? swoon. mint - gold and black - WIN!

    Oh, I love how you've combined Newton stamps! your gray kitty reminds me of my little gray fur baby, who would definitely be attacking the yarn! So cute! As for your Cheers card, thanks for sharing how to use this set without the basket! Great idea and super fun card!
    Hugs, Debbie!
