Newton's Nook Designs August Release - Hedgehog Hollow

wow!! can't believe it's the last day of the Newton's Nook Designs August Release already!

today, the whole DT is showcasing the fun and totally awesome Hedgehog Hollow 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!

oh my goodness - this set is so sweet and so cute!! 
i watercolored my images (again!!) with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers (hey, practice makes perfect, right?! I'm practicing! lol!)

for my first card, i fussy cut out the images and popped them up onto a white cardstock base. 


i added a black woodgrain washi tape strip, and a little bit of watercolored 'grass' underneath the image! ha! i LOVE that phrase from the stamp set - it's going to be getting a LOT of use! ha!


i also added some stitching to the top of my card front - it's hard to tell, because it's white on white, but i really like the detail it adds! 

my second card is aso clean and simple, but it's so cute because of that hedgehog!! seriously - adorable, people!! ha!


i added some white on white texture to the card front with some embossing paste and a woodgrain stencil! love it! and that phrase people - I DIE!! ha!! so so so fun!!!!! it totally reminds me of this song, and it was in my head for DAYS! ha!! love! 


the grass was created with an old punch and then I added color to the vellum grass with Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio! i added a strip of yellow star washi, because I had colored the hearts in the cup yellow, but it was hard to see! and i really thought the pop of yellow worked here!
