things are looking up!

hello!!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, and I love how it came out!

it uses some of the new release and some older projects!
I stamped the cats image from the new Spring Heights stamp and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut it out with the coordinating dies.

next, I used the A2 Card Layout 2 die set for the background!
I die cut out the background, taped it together and then ink blended it in blues (Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina) and greens (Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles) with the Hills & Grass Stencil. then I used the Cascading Stars Stencil and the same blues, but with more pressure.

I also used the same stencil with some white embossing paste, but only with a select few of the stars.
I heat embossed the sentiment in vellum and then used the largest circle from the Frames Squared die set.

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