Newton's Nook Designs August Release - Newton Dreams of New York + Coordinating Die

welcome to day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs August Release

today, the whole DT is showcasing the fun and totally awesome Newton Dreams of New York Stamp and Coordinating Die set!
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 August 19th, right here!

eeee - isn't this set adorable!!
i've never been to NY city, but fun fact: i was born in NY! we moved to FL when i was about 3 months old, so that's as far as the NY stream flows, but hey! it happened! ha!

anyway, i watercolored my images with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut them out!
my first card uses the suuuuuuuuper cute Newton dressed as the Statue of Liberty!! what a FUN image!!!


i used a star stencil, and some embossing paste to create the background. then i added a BUNCH of star die cuts that i watercolored! 


i also splattered some gold color shine around, too! Love how this came out!

for my second card, i was going to create a shaker card, but then decided to just make it an open area with lots of dimension!


although, a shaker would have been cool too!
i created the background of the city area with swipes of Distress Paint! LOOOOOVE the colors!!! 


I created a city scape and then added some sequins! love that cute Newton in the I heart NY shirt!! so classic NY tourist! Ha!

  10. I just LOVE your cards. I love how you coloured Newton so differently in the two cards. I love the star background you created with the texture paste and the stamped images for the Statue of Liberty Card. I love the colours you used (and what a cool background you created) and the composition you created in the window card.
