Newton's Nook Designs August Release - Tranquil Tides

yahoo!
the excitement of August release week with Newton's Nook Designs continues!



today, the whole DT is showcasing the new, super amazing Tranquil Tides stamp set! i love this set! i can't wait to make more cards with it! (i already have a few ideas!)
you can totally use this to scrapbook, create a project life type spreads, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on August 14th, right here!

for my first card, i wanted to add some color to the images, and i also wanted to heat emboss!



LOVE this! I wish i could get a better picture to show off the white on white texture...grr. i need photo lessons! ha!


anyway, on some white cardstock, i did lots of masking and Distress Ink blending! they created these awesome geometric types of patterns. then i stamped the images over and heat embossed in clear!

SOOOOO pretty!
it was just a little bit longer to create the card - i added some white waves with embossing paste and then popped up a few of the shells! 

my 2nd card also uses color and heat embossing!


fun!
i stamped the images in white on lots of patterned papers. then i fussy cut them out, leaving a border so the color of the patterned papers could show.


then i placed them around the patterned paper that i sprayed with a navy mist! LOOOOVE how this turned out!
