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 freaking AMAZING Fox Hollow stamp and coordinating die set!! ! i LOVE this set! honestly - this is one of my new favorite sets EVER! it's SO cute and sweet and magical!!
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 really wanted to use that pine tree branch image and make it a wreath!
i stamped out the branch multiple times in Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Shabby Shutters, Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks! those colors together...LOVE! then i die cut them out and attached them to my card base in a circular pattern!
the fox, oh the fox! so cute! i water colored him up with Distress Markers and then popped him up on top of the wreath! oh, and i forgot to mention that i stitched around the wreath a few times with my sewing machine! love that added texture!
my second card also features an adorably water colored fox!
first i used Distress Inks and blended the background to create a loose interpretation of a mountain overlooking the sky! i repeat: a super loose interpretation! lol!
