Newtons Nook Designs - Shark Week

Hello everyone!! It's my favorite time of summer... Shark Week!  Over at Newtons Nook Designs we have been celebrating all WEEK long!  For this week, NND released a matching Die set for the "Shark Bites" stamps. You can get them now in the Newtons Nook Designs Store.

I decided to use the new dies and create a seamless shaker card. At least thats what I am calling it.  I created my background with some Distress Sprays and water.  I die cut the silhouette shark and glued him to the back ground. Then I cut up a plastic page protector to encase my shaker goodies.  Then I colored up the main shark and stamped the sentiment right on the plastic with some Staz On Ink very carefully.  

Quick Tip: Use Staz On ink for slick surfaces and plastics.  Just stamp straight down and life straight up. Don't wiggle or you will get smearing. 

Hope you enjoyed my card for Shark Week!

Newtons Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #33 - Ombre

It's that time again for another Inky Paws Challenge from Newtons Nook Designs!  This time it's an Ombre challenge. Since, Shark Week is coming up and I live so close to the Shark Bite Capital of the US (New Smyrna Beach, FL).  Your welcome for a fun fact, lol.  I decided to play with the "Shark Bites" stamp set.  I picked 3 blue inks to create the Ombre effect.  When I transitioned to the next color I stamped half my shark in one color and the next for a gradient. 

I then stamped the main shark on some vellum and placed him on top so you can still see the Ombre effect.  To top the card off I added some twine, washi tape and sequins.  I hope you enjoyed my card and decided to play along.
