Newton's Nook Designs March Release - Cottage Garden + coordinating Die

hello!
yahoo! scooting right along to Day 3 of  Newton's Nook Designs March release!!


I am not kidding when I tell you that i'm in LOVE with this month's release! every item is adorable!! 
today the whole team is showing off the Cottage Garden + coordinating Die! this stamp set has SOOOO many possibilities!!
you can totally use these 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 March 17th, right here!

oh my, how I LOVE this set!


i KNEW i wanted to make a silhouette-type scene as soon as I saw this set! so I stamped the images in versamark black ink and then die cut them out! i used a glitter pen to add some shine to the white parts of the fox!


for the background, I used some scrap cardstock that had a circle shape already die cut as a mask. then I blended Distress Inks in Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold and Mustard Seed. LOOOOVE that sunset sky! I also added some sequins to the card in coordinating colors! 

for my next card...again...RAINBOW!


I colored onto the stamps themselves with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then stamped them onto some white cardstock! I knew the images wouldn't be as crisp, but I really wanted a 'watercolor' type of look!


once i had a BUNCH of these in rainbow colors, all stamped and die cut, I arranged them over a rectangle of white cardstock, where the sentiment was heat embossed! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

  10. I LOVE that fox card Samanatha! It looks like a sunset behind that striking black fox silhouette (which is my favorite image in the set BTW). I love the rainbow colors of your other card as well, but that fox card Sam... SPECTACULAR!! <3 Meredith
