forecast: blue skies ahead!

hello there!

today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, and it's all about that optimistic future! lol!

Forecast: Blue Skies Ahead Card by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs, Handmade Cards, Cards, Distress Inks, Ink Blending, Umbrellas, stencil, cloudy sky #newtonsnook #distressinks #Inkblending #cards #umbrellas #standundermyumbrella #stencil #embossingpaste

I just love it!
I stamped and colored all of my images from Umbrella Pals and then colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! once they were dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! and of course...you know I couldn't resist adding a nod to rainbows with how I colored them! lol!

for the background, I die cut out the rectangle from the Frames & Flags Die Set, and used the cardstock as a stencil to ink blend my sky! I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers! then I splattered some water on top! 
I also added some texture with white embossing paste, and the Cloudy Sky Stencil

finally, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock, and popped it up with foam tape! 
hope this card made you smile!
be sure to check it out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
