Hello my lovelies!
Welcome to the first day of the Newton's Nook Designs May Release! Woot!
All the new goodies will be available for purchase this Friday the 12th over at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!
Today, we are revealing this super adorable set "Winston's Tee Time" along with the coordinating die set!
Ohhhhhhh my goodness!!!
Isn't he absolutely adorable!!?
I think Winston looks pretty handsome in his golf outfit!
Alright, here is my take...;-)
My dad used to play and watch golf when I was growing up, and because we only had one TV set, I used to watch golf tournaments with him all the time! It wasn't exciting like watching baseball games, but I LOVE the sound of the golf ball hitting the hole! Plus, the commentators usually spoke so softly, it was calming...{LOL}
have you ever watched the Canadian TV series Murdoch Mysteries? Awesome show!
When I saw this Winston, it reminded me of the episode where detective Murdoch tried golf for the very first time (and he wasn't very good and threw his clubs in the pond at the end...lol). The show is staged around the year 1900 and they were using wooden clubs, so I gave Winston a wooden club as well! but I colored his outfit with modern, bright colors! I think that blue looks so good on him, don't you!!?
Golf courses are always so well trimmed and beautiful, aren't they!? The grass is so green just like on my card! I also gave him a beautiful water colored blue sky with royal blue sequins, which matches his shirt! I combined 2 of the sentiments from the set to create this one "you're tee-riffic!", so cute!
I made another card with this set! Super CAS!
I die cut my background with the Land Borders Purr-fect Die to separate the sky and lawn. The whole panel was water colored with Bermuda Bay, but the grass part was mixed with yellow. The pin image was stamped, water colored, then die cut with the coordinating die, then just a flag part was die cut from a patterned paper and paper pieced. The little golf ball was stamped and die cut, then popped on by the pin. "a hole in one" was heat embossed with black directly on the lawn, "DAD" was heat embossed with white on black cardstock, trimmed to a little rectangle then popped on with a piece of foam tape.

Beautiful coloring as always Naki, I love all your little details, those pants on Winston, wow! Wooden clubs, what a nice reference to the past. I also watched a lot of golf with my Dad, back in the day before Tiger Woods started livening things up. The commentators voices always put me to sleep, lol! Great memories!
