wish you were here!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog and it just cracks me up!

Wish You Were Here Card by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs, distress ink, ink blending, summer vacation, underwater, handmade cards, cards, #newtonsnook #inkblending #distressinks #cards #water #summer

this little kitty is dreaming of snorkeling in the deep blue, and I love it! ha!
I colored (with Zig Markers) the image from Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set and then fussy cut it out! 
I added it to the card with foam tape because I love dimension! ha!

the background was created with the Tropical Fish Stencil!
I started by ink blending the background in Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks. then I placed the stencil on top and used the same colors, but with more pressure! once you lift the stencil up, it's like magic!

I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto some vellum, and then die cut it out with the Speech Bubbles Die Set!
I finished the card off with some Dew Drops in various sizes to add to the 'underwater' feel! ha!

be sure to check this out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
