Newton's Nook June Release - Sweet Summer

here we are: day 2 of newton's nook june release! 



today's set is called Sweet Summer, and i really think you're going to LOVE this one! it's perfect for tags, layouts, cards, anything! and the best news is, all of the sets will be available for purchase june 20th here! :)

i love the stitching lines in this set!! so cool!



first up, i made a card, but i wanted to save the fruit images for another day, and i just focused, instead, on the tiny heart image! 


i was going for a bokeh/cascade of hearts!
the background was made with lots of distress paints (barn door, dried marigold and mustard seed!) and lots of water!



all of the hearts and the sentiment were heat embossed first and then they resisted the paint! 

my next project is a layout!
my littlest mann and i recenetly went strawberry picking and how could i not scrapbook that face with these stamps?!?! lol!!


i paper pieced all of the strawberries and placed them in both corners, some were popped up for dimension, too!



i used thickers for my sentiment and stitched on the letters - love that!
i even used vellum on this layout with that little banner image from the set! LOVE it!
