Welcome to Day one of the Newtons Nook Designs May Release! This weeks releases are amazing and I hope you come back each day this week to see a new stamp set. Today, we are show casing "Happy Little Thoughts" and the coordinating Die Set.
I was inspired by the sentiments a decided to make a book mark. First, I watercolored my background , you can use any of your favorite watercoloring mediums. I allowed it to air dry for best results. Then, I coated the book mark with an anti static powder to make sure no embossing powder when stray. It also tells me if the watercoloring was completely dry. I stamped my images with versa mark ink and coated with Gold Embossing Powder.
For some pizzaz, I edged the bookmark with a boarder punch from my stash. (remember those things?). To finish, it off I added some white ric rac. I hope you enjoyed my project.
