it's such a fun die set!

I stamped the image from Newton's Cupcake and then colored it in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once it was dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then popped it up with foam tape.

then, I heat embossed part of the sentiment in white onto the same blue cardstock. and die cut out the other part of the sentiment and backed it with vellum!

LOOOOOOVE this one!
I die cut out that gorgeous confetti paper with the Card Layout 4 die set, and then attached it to some very light grey/light beige cardstock.
then I added some texture with the Confetti stencil and white embossing paste on top.

while that was drying, I stamped the images from Newton Loves Cake and Newton's Thanksgiving and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
