Newton is celebrating




Newton loves to celebrate!!   I colored him up with my markers and used a fancy square stitched diecut. I really love this guy cut because it’s the perfect size for a lot of smaller images and it just really makes them show up nicer . I Layered it on a square of striped paper. Cut a long strip of blue cardstock, folded in half, cut up at an angle. Layered on a coordinating pattern paper. Added an oval stitched diecut for the sentiment and a couple gems. 
Join our challenge this week and enjoy the creations we’ve made using Newtons Nook!

Get well fold


Fold card, started on a large flat green cardstock, layered on a flat patterned card base. On top I cut a long floral paper, folded it in half, added 2 floral stickers on the top, the sentiment on the inside and a small get well tag. 






Adu fall

Polkadoodle sweetheart


This Little cutie is from pokadoodles, Colored with pencils and then I used one of my favorite dies, which is a fancy stitched frame in a small to medium size. I started with white card stock, and then layered on a couple of different random springtime patterned papers I like this diecut because I can fancy it up, I could use the smaller size for sentiments running either up-and-down and or sideways and it just kind of pops off the page …sometimes I ink around the edges as well I did not do that for this







Princess


Pink polkadotted card stock, and I layered on white paper with a framed doodle with a large greeting on the front and more doodling that I colored with pink and yellow pencils

Sparkling sunflower


One of my first fall cards. I chose a light orange cardstock to layer on my white. Added washi strips in dark orange, a crinkle cut paper in Kraft. My sunflower was colored with pencils, fussycut and layered on the kraft crinkle. Added some string and a yellow button for more layers. Sometimes it’s fun to put all those layers on…I just keep those back to hand deliver ๐Ÿงก







ADU flowers


Image is from ADU, colored with pencils, fussycut and layered on a pale yellow cardstock. I used the skeleton from a pink diecut and centered aroun the image, then added the sentiment stamped in black on light blue that had been die cut. Added gems  and wink of Stella for sparkle to finish it off. 





Embossed balloons


White cardstock with teal ink on edges. Embossed a birthday on white, went over with peach ink and added balloons .CAS I go back and forth between layering ind more flat…sometimes the flat can be just as striking. 





Book and quill….back to school

And she’s back to school……
I colored this beautiful gal in purples with teal ..my favorite colors. 
CAS…which can sometimes be hard for me to do…I always want to add layers. I blew this one up to fill my area, and did not add a sentiment on the outside. The inside simply says best wishes….
