Newton's Nook Designs August Release - Raccoon Rascals

**this is my 2nd post of the day! to see my Lawnscaping Challenge card, scroll down or click here!**


hello and good morning!
i have some good news to share on this Monday...it's the start of the Newton's Nook Designs August Release


That's a pretty great way to start the week, i think!
today, the whole DT is showcasing the super playful and unique Raccoon Rascals stamp set!
you can totally use this 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 August 19th, right here!

I just think those little raccoons are SO cute!
for my first card, i colored up the little Oscar the Grouch raccoon! ha!


I watercolored the images for both cards with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and then fussy cut them out!
that little bird was just TOO cute not to use, too!


i love the blues and yellow together, and that sentiment cracks me up! (this ACTUALLY happened to my best friend a few weeks ago! she went to throw something away out side, and had two little raccoons in her trashcan!! i can't wait for her to get this card! ha!)

my second card uses my favorite image from the set:


eeek! so cute, right? ha ha ha!!
i decided to create a night scene with some Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot! once it was dry, I splattered some white acrylic paint for the 'stars'. 


those clouds are so sweet, and added the perfect touch to my scene!
