Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release - Paradise Palms

Hello lovely Newton lovers!

Welcome to day three of the Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release!

All the new sets will be available for purchase this Friday the 15th over at Newton's Nook Designs, so enjoy the fabulous samples by the design team before you decide which ones to get! Hee Hee;-)

Today we are showcasing this beautiful silhouette stamp set Paradise Palms!

Isn't it just gorgeous!?

Here is my take...;-)

Awww, don't you just wish you were sitting on the beach watching this beautiful sunset!?

First I water colored very lightly with orange where the sun rays would be, then placed my stencil and went over it with a paint brush. The first orange was a bit too light so I added more orange in between the rays.

I stamped the 2 palm trees on an island image with versamark then randomly stamped the island image several times with also versamark. The stamped images were heat embossed with black to make a silhouette. 

I LOVE this sentiment! It sounds like a fabulous way of life, doesn't it!?

I decided to create the ocean because of the sentiment ;-) 
It was water colored (of course) Then die cut with the Wonky Stitches.

Some copper sequins were added, and this beautiful sunset scene was mounted on this vellum with wavy patterns. I LOVE it!
