Newton's Nook Designs - May Flowers Blog Hop

Welcome, to the May Flowers Blog Hop for Newton's Nook Designs!  I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen so far along the hop.  The Design Team has really out done themselves.  For my 3D Box Card I used the flowers from the Versatile Vases Stamp Set.  I fussy cut  a bunch of flowers so you can give your friend a bouquet that will last forever!  I am not a fan of live flowers, because they just die in a week or so.  I appreciate a plant that I can put in my backyard and it watch it grow for years (as long as I don't kill it first).

Thinking of Spring

Hello, my scrappy friends!!! Today, I bring you a fun, cheerful, springy card to brighten up your cold winter days.  I have to say I survived the Florida winter of two days of 30 degrees.  We are back to having the A/C on and the flip flops are back on!!! 

I used Versatile Vases from Newton's Nook Designs to create this Spring Card.  See that fun pink glittery frame???  Yup, I made a mess making that!!!!  Chunky glitter was everywhere!

Thinking of You....

Hello!!  Today, I am on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog bringing you an elegant card.  For this card I used an old school technique.  Remember back in the day when you where a kid playing with watercolors?  I, do!  

Do you remember putting old fashioned table salt on your watercolor before it was dry?  Well, I did here on this card.  Basically the salt repels the watercolor to create a beautiful design. 

How to:

1) Place watercolor on your project till you are happy with it.

2) Run to the kitchen and grab the salt.

3) Sprinkle the salt over the watercolor while it is still wet.

4) Let your project dry naturally. A Heat gun may push the salt off your paper.

5) When dry, Gently Rub off any loose salt. Some of it will stick to your project.

6) Finish your card!
