party on, wayne! party on, garth!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog and it's 100% giving '90s vibes!
I really love how this came out!

can you tell what I was inspired by...I'll give you a hint...it's Lisa Frank!
I was obsessed with Lisa Frank when I was a kid (still am): the rainbow colors, the bright, the animals! what's not to love! lol!

I used a sheet from the new Retro Mix Toner Card Fronts and used some rainbow foil. then I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina to ink blend over the foil.
HIGHLY recommend ink blending over foiled card fronts! it's so easy and fun!

I heat embossed the sentiments from Party On! Stamp Set onto black cardstock. then I cut them into strips. I also die cut out the frame from the new Card Front 7 Die Set using black cardstock and popped it up with foam tape. 

I finished off the card with some white, matte enamel dots!

be sure to check out the card up on the Newton's Nook blog!
enjoy!

honk if you love christmas!

hello!
today I have this funny card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is a mood board inspiration and it's SO sparkly and shiny and festive and fun!

I was inspired by the shiny, sparkly rainbow theme and used some fun foil on a black sky to add the fun on my card!
so fun!
I stamped and colored the images from Silly Goose and Cozy Cats Christmas Add-on with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I added some details with a white gel pen and die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

for the background, I used Black Licorice cardstock and then did lots of layers! the pine branches on the String of Lights Background Stencils were done with green flock. then I used rainbow foil for the lights and white embossing paste for the stings.

I also used the Knock Knock, Who's There? and Knock Knock, Who's There? Tree Add-on! the tree was die cut with Fog Cardstock. and then I die cut out some snowy banks from white cardstock with the Puffy Cloud Borders.

I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto vellum, and then I die cut it out with the Stitched Sentiment Banners. and then I splattered the white acrylic ink on top to finish off the snowy scene.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and play along with the last challenge of the year!
enjoy!

a pretty poinsettia foil christmas

hello!
today I have this card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
I used the new Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts! so fun!

I started by foiling the poinsettia's in a variety of pinks and reds. then I fussy cut them out! it was so easy and fun!
then I used some white acrylic ink and splattered it on top of the flowers. (I couldn't stop myself, but it's such a fun way to add a little bit of snow-like texture!)

once the foiled poinsettia images were arranged on my card, I attached them with glue. then I used Distress Inks in Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold to add color to the die cut sentiment from Merriest Christmas. then I placed the words over white cardstock to mimic the white around the flowers.

I finished the card off with a sprinkling of sequins.
LOVE this beautiful foiled card - but it's super hard to photograph! lol!
be sure to check it out on the Newton's Nook blog, too!
enjoy!
