i am so excited for this week!
it's a BIG week!!
today is day 1 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday release!! woo!!
today, the whole DT is showcasing the unique and adorable Festive Flamingos stamp set! i LOVE this set! i live in South Carolina, and as you can imagine, it stays pretty warm here in the winter - so tropical Christmas cards just make my day!
you can totally use this to scrapbook, create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on October 16th, right here!
for my first card, i just HAD to use the 'pink Christmas' phrase!
i used Distress Inks to create the blended background (Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar) and i really like how they came out!
my second card is more clean and simple!
i used a star stencil and white embossing paste to create the background. then i added my cute little flamingo with foam tape! and i love the little foot prints you can add for the flamingos!!
I heat embossed the sentiment in platinum and then added some metallic silver washi down the sides, too!
