eep!!! right!? so cute!
I started by using Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Lucky Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn. once the base layer was on, I used the same colors, with more pressure, and the Tropical Leaves Stencil to add more interest to the background!

guys, this was so much FUN to color!!! I LOVED making each animal come alive! once the coloring was done, I fussy cut around the inside and popped it up against that background!
I used a smaller piece of white cardstock that I ink blended with Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers, to go behind the sentiment! 

I seriously LOVE how this came out!

the next uses the sweet, sweet Tropical Fringe stamp set!

Hello Summer Card by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs, Tropical Card, Sequins, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, Watercolor, summer #newtonsnook #watercolor #tropical #cards #handmadecards

tell me this doesn't scream summer!!! I loooove it! it's absolutely so bright and happy!
I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the image, and then cut along the square perimeter and popped it all up on the black and white polka dotted background!

the card base was cut with the Frames Squared Die Set to give it that sweet, scalloped shape!
and I finished off the card with some clear, sparkling sequins!

  5. Looking at your animals, I was wondering which is my favorite. Can't choose. Thought it was the elephant, but then I noticed each is just adorable...

  6. Fussy cutting the center really allowed the animals to pop out on the card and I lov6how the background frames the image.
