i really dig you!

hello!
so excited to share the first (of many) cards up on the Newton's Nook blog for 2026!
what fun!
and this card is Valentine's Day themed! 

so sweet!
I just love these cute little construction vehicles!
I stamped and colored all of the images and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used images from Love Quarry and Valentine Postage Sampler. 
I also added some details with a white gel pen. and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

I die cut out the frame with a warm pink tone of cardstock and white cardstock with the Frames & Tags die set. I used the white dies that were created from the windows and did some ink blending with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink, then I added some texutre with white embossing paste and the Petite Hearts Stencil. 
I also die cut out the dirt piles from white cardstock using the Sky Borders die set. then I did lots of ink blending with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Fossilized Amber. I also splattered some ink color and white acrylic ink on top. 

I love how easy it was to combine the images from both stamp sets! 
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto black cardstock. and adding just a sprinkling of black splatters in a few corners. 

be sure to check out this card up on the Newton's Nook blog!

enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #212 - Let's Celebrate

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

what a perfect way to kick off the new year!
time to celebrate!

this challenge has something for everyone!

I stamped and colored the images from Yappy Birthday, Yappy Birthday Add-on, Party Animal and Furry & Bright. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color, and then, of course, added details with a white gel pen. once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

for the background, I did some ink blending with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvage Patina Distress Oxide Inks, about 1/2 way down the card front. then I splattered some of the ink color on top! 

 

I also did ink blending onto another piece of cardstock that was die cut with the Grassy Border. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white on the green grass.

what a fun birthday celebration and fun card, right?

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
