you're my rainbow on a cloudy day!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about a super inspiring bingo card!

for this card, I used middle column: Rainbow, Critter, Patterned Paper, Bright and Foam Squares!
and the critters I chose are unicorns!! my favorite! lol!

I stamped and colored the images from A Little Sparkle, My Rainbow and Unicorn Picnic. then I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies.
I also added some details to the images with a white gel pen.

for the background, I used the purple paper from the Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pack! I used Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet Distress Inks and very lightly ink blended the edges of the paper. then I splattered some colors and white acrylic ink on top!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto some Black Licorice paper and then popped up with foam tape.

be sure to check this card out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog! hope you play along!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #195 - Bingo!

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

this is one of my favorite challenges!!!

yay!!
LOVE this idea!
for my card, I picked 2nd row from the bottom: Whimsical, Mice, Bright, Marker and Cardstock

so fun!
I stamped and colored the images from You Autumn Know, Bubbles of Joy and Virtual Friends Add-on for the mice images. then I stamped the balloons, party hats and banner from Really High Five and Elephant Parade Add-on.
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.
I also added some details with a white gel pen for fun!

 

I used some Mermaid Cardstock for the background.
then I did a little bit of inkblending with Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon. I used the Lots of Stars Background Stencils and the same colors, but with more pressure to add a subtle tone-on-tone look!

I also used the Nighttime Sky Stencil and some white embossing paste to add even more texture to that background. the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto some Black Licorice cardstock.

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!

I'm currently obsessed with floral cards...as you can tell with this one! lol!

I stamped the images from the Cherry Blossoms multiple times and and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once the images were all dry, I splattered some white acrylic ink on top!
I die cut out the butterflies with their coordinating dies, and I also used the dies to die cut some vellum, and layered the butterflies on top of the vellum layer!

the background is actually very simple!
I die cut the new Filigree Oval Frame from white cardstock, and then placed it on some very soft, light grey cardstock.
even though it's simple, it really helps the bright pink blossoms pop!

I die cut out the 'hello' from black cardstock, and then sprinkled some sequins around and on the Cherry Blossoms, too!

welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs mini April release!

check out what we're working with today: Lattice Die

you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on April 18, right here! 
all of these new products are so fun!
and sooooo versatile!

I am in LOVE with this new die - and I can't wait to make more and more cards with it!!

I was totally channeling my inner "spring garden' theme with this card!

I stamped the images from the Monarchs Stamp Set and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once the images were all dry, I splattered some white acrylic ink on top!
I die cut out the butterflies with their coordinating dies, and I also used the dies to die cut some vellum, and layered the butterflies on top of the vellum layer!

for the background, it was a little time consuming, but super worth it!
using white cardstock, I inkblended with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to cover the entire A2 sized card base. then I used the Trailing Leaves Stencil and the same colors, but with MORE pressure.
next, I die cut out the background with the new Lattice Die Set!

all of the squares were popped up with foam tape! so much dimension and fun!
I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #194 - Critters & Hobbies

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

the challenge this time is so easy, yet so FUN! you'll want to play along more than once!

oh my goodness!
this is the BEST challenge!
I had so many card ideas, but ultimately, I couldn't resist making a card for my favorite hobby - reading!

so fun!
I love these sweet critters! and I LOVE their love of books! eeeeep!
I stamped and colored the images from Little Woodland Library. I colored in the images from Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I also added some details with a white gel pen.
and in keeping with a rainbow theme, I colored the critters to match the panels behind them!

for the background, I used Distress Inks to do ink blending on some rectangle panels that I cut from white cardstock. I used Picked Raspberry Dried Marigold for the top, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade for the middle, and Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon for the bottom panel.
I love the rainbow!

 

I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it in white onto some vellum. I also added some stars from the Lots of Stars Background Stencils with the white embossing paste!

 
I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!
