Newton's Nook Designs May Release - Day 1

Welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs May Release!!!!  I know you are really going to LOVE this months sets.  Today, we are featuring Around the House!!!  This set is purrfect for a home remodel, or the handyman in your life!!!  This set would also work great with Newton!  I can just imagine him inside the picture frame! 

  Don't forget to scroll all the way down to find out how to WIN the new May sets!!! 


Let's get to the inspiration, cause I know that's what your here for!  For this card I heat embossed the light bulb several times on watercolor paper. Then I took a rainbow of watercolor and randomly colored over each bulb. The heat embossing will RESIST the color to revel the lightbulb. I then layered it with several pieces of colored card stock. 



For my second card, I wanted to use the tape dispenser as a washi tape dispenser.  This card is super easy to create and mass produce!!!!  I just picked some of my favorite washi tapes and randomly taped them down to my card.  I then heat embossed the tape dispenser colored with some distress markers and backed it on colored card stock. To finish it off I stamped my sentiment on vellum and BAM!  Your done!  

QUICK TIP!  My favorite way to adhere vellum to your project is to use a stapler!
