My Favorite Easter Peeps Card by Samantha Mann, Newton's Nook Designs, distress ink, blending, handmade card, cards, easter, peeps, #handmadecard, #newtonsnook

cute, right? I just love those extra little peeps you can add!! ha!

I used Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade at the top of the card. 
the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a strip of black cardstock!


and as I was editing my photos, I thought how cool it would be to have that newton image on an action wobbler!! ugh! next time, for sure!! so he can shake his little booty while he's playing with the peeps!! 
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!

Hello Easter Layout by Samantha Mann, scrapbook, mixed media, dies, layout, Newton's Nook Designs, #newtonsnook #scrapbook, #layout

this was so fun to make! I brushed on some pinks and corals and once it was dry, used some white embossing paste and the Bold Blooms stencil in the background!
I also sprinkled on some more of the pinks and corals and also white!

I die cut out the flowers from the Flower Trio Die many times with patterned papers and vellum, then stitched them all together for some dimension! then I sprinkled on lots of coordinating embellishments from my stash! 

my 2nd project is a cute, cute birthday card with the new Loads of Blooms stamp set!

I looooooove how this card came out! it may just be my new favorite! 
I used Distress inks to ink blend the hills (Land Borders Die Set) and the clouds (Sky Borders Die Set), and layered them on top of the 'rain' background I used with white embossing paste and the grey cardstock!
