Newton's Nook Design's August Release - Day 1

 Welcome to the August Release for Newton's Nook Designs!!! Today, we are featuring the new set "Hanging Around".  It features a bunch of fun animals just hanging around!!! Even Newton gets in on the action!!  Would you like to WIN this new set?? Be sure to read the details at the bottom of the post.

For this card I decided to heat emboss all my stamping on the background to keep the water coloring where it needs to stay.  I colored the Koala image with copics and fussy cut him out.  I then added some White Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to the clouds.  I LOVE how it looks!!!  For the sentiment I embossed some Green Glitter Embossing Powder on to a piece of vellum.  Then I stitched it on with a sewing machine for some extra detail. 

For my second card I decided to use the cute Opossum!  Isn't he just adorable?

Quick Tip!  For the background I stamped the cloud, then turned the stamp over and inked up the solid side of the stamp for a different look!  Then Inked the edges with some distress ink to complete the sky look.

I used some thin wafer dies to cut out the green piece of paper in a wonky shape. (You totally could cut that on a regular paper cutter)  I then Added a strip of orange paper and some woodgrain washi tape, to keep with the outdoors-y feel.  To Top it off I added some Kraft Twine.
