Hello, lovelies!
Today kicks off the Newton's Nook Designs March Release!
All the new products will be available for purchase this Friday the 15th in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!
We are revealing a brand new stencil and 2 adorable stamp sets along with their coordinating die sets today...ready!?
This new Balloons Stencil will be your new go-to stencil ;-)
A party isn't a party until we have some balloons, right!?
I am loving this trio of cats ready to party!
This adorable set is called Newton's Birthday Trio 🎈
The Paw-some Birthday Set reminds of my kids getting all excited about opening their presents, it is simply adorable 💗
Okay, here is my take...;-)
With such an adorable image in a pretty good size as the new Newton's Birthday Trio Set, you really don't need to add too much to your design because the stamp does all the job for you! Also, it looked more balanced on a square card.
I stamped these cuties with Black Archival Ink on watercolor paper and watercolored 2 of the kitties just like my tuxedo boys. I colored the 3rd one a Siamese because my oldest child had wanted a Siamese cat for years! (We haven't been able to find one in our area, but he did get his own kitty from the shelter on his birthday though, and this kitty is the sweetest little lover and the whole family is in love 💗 except my tux boys...) Anyway, since the kitties are all gray and white, the rest were colored with fun pink and lime, plus some shimmer with the glitter pen ;-)
I stamped the sentiment part again and fussy cut it then popped them on with foam tape to add fun dimension. I also traced the sentiments and speech bubbles with the marker so that they really popped. The background was kept pretty simple in muted colors but a bit fun with patterns.
This card with the Paw-some Birthday Set is more colorful ;-)
All these boxes of presents were colored in fun bright colors, plus a bit of shimmer with the glitter pen ;-)
This pup is actually a lab but this guy was colored to be a beagle, just because...😚
For the background, I used the new Balloons Stencil to add some fun!
I first sponged the background with Broken China Distress Oxide Ink then heat embossed the balloons with iridescent EP, then sponged it again with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink this time. I applied some water all over the panel using my big paintbrush to mix the 2 colors, then removed the green ink from the balloons using a piece of paper towel.
This "paw-some" sentiment was heat embossed with Aqua Tinsel EP to match the blue balloons. Several Sparkling Clear sequins add a little more sparkle to my interesting background ;-)
