Newton's Nook Designs July Release - Day 3


Welcome back!! I hope you have had fun following the HUGE Release this week!  Today is Day 3 of Newtons Nook Designs July release. Today, I would like to introduce you to Flirty Flamingos!  I have to say this are one of my most favorite of the release.  Being a Florida girl, you can never have enough flamingos...never!  

On to the fun card!!  I used my new tool the marker spritzer to create the fun background behind the flamingos.  I used some more of that fun watercolor paper I created for yesterdays card to ground the "mingos".  

Quick Tip:  The Marker Spritzer, can hold several brands of markers.  Just undo the screw and slide the sleeve out!

Ok, now on to the card. I started off by creating a watercolored background (which you may see again this week).  I added some good old fashion table salt for a cool effect.

  I just love the critters on this set! I'm from Florida and Gators are everywhere! Recently they spotted one swimming in the Atlantic Ocean...eak!!! We already have to worry about Sharks now Gators!  So I decided to paper piece the gator and color the surf board and he is ready to hit the waves!!!  Cute huh?

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! 




Materials:
Newton's Nook Designs Stamps - Versatile Vases
Georgia Pacific White Cardstock
Black Cardstock
Watercolor paper
Artist Loft Water Colors
Salt
Clear Embossing Powder
Twine -Target $1.00 Spot
Vellum

Happy Stamping!

Nothing better than a GOLD camera!


Happy 4th of July everyone!!!  As we are all basking in the sun, grilling and swimming....I am sadly working.  Yes, but hopefully I can have a good evening and watch some fireworks and eat some steaks on the grill!!!! Yummy! 

This is the first time playing along with the Avery Elle I <3 a="" challenge.="" u="">  I recently got the Smile stamp set from Butterfly Reflections Ink Online Store.  I just HAD to play with it ASAP!!!  My first thought was to emboss it in gold powder.  Then I was like ..... why not on vellum..  Oh its a match made in heaven!   I then jazzed it up with some gold glitter in the center (it did warp the vellum a bit.. i used glossy accents).  But, I still worked with it an stapled it to the card to hold it down. 


The rest of the card is just some patterned paper with a circle punch and some homemade enamel dots.  

I hope you enjoyed my card, it was quick and easy to create.  

Happy Stamping!
