Whatever Floats Your Goat! – CIC #592

by with No Comment Cupcake InspirationsNewton's Nook

Hello friends! Today is the start of a new challenge over on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog! Challenge #592 is a theme challenge, and the theme for this challenge is flowers.

I created my card featuring the Bold Blooms Stencil and Floaty Goat stamp set both from Newton’s Nook.

After stamping the image using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink, I coloured the image using the following Ohuhu alcohol markers:

  • Pinks: R120, R190, R200, RV260
  • Greys: CGII00, CG2, CG5

I also added more colour by layering Prismacolor Coloured Pencils.

For the background, I used Simon Says Stamp Sprout Ink. First, I used the stencil to ink-blend a floral background. Then, I removed the stencil and lightly inked-blend using the same colour on top to create a simple and subtle floral background.

Be sure to head on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog to submit a card for a chance to be featured as a sweet pick!

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Floral Emboss Resist – Newton’s Nook

by with No Comment Newton's Nook

This post contains affiliate links that are of no extra cost to you. Using my affiliate links simply helps me to keep doing what I love – thank you!

Hello friends! For today’s card, I decided to have some fun with a technique I have been wanting to try but had not up until now – emboss resist!

I started by stamping a large floral image from the Newton’s Nook Blooming Botanicals Stamp Set using Sizzix Clear Embossing Ink. I then used Ranger Clear Embossing Powder to emboss the image.

Once embossed, I applied a layer of Twisted Citron Distress Oxide and then a layer of Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide to achieve my desired colour. Once fully ink blended, I wiped away the ink on top of the embossed image.

To complete the card, stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set to match the image and placed both the sentiment and card panel on matching cardstock.

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Simple, Stencil Fun! – Newton’s Nook

by with 3 Comments Newton's Nook

Today I’m sharing my card for Newton’s Nook Inky Paws challenge #199, which is rainbow theme! Who doesn’t love a good rainbow?

Using the Newton’s Nook Bold Blooms Stencil, I used a rainbow of Distress Oxides to create a simple, bright and fun card front. I used the following oxides:

  • Saltwater Taffy
  • Spiced Marmalade
  • Squeezed Lemonade
  • Twisted Citron
  • Broken China
  • Shaded Lilac

After the ink blending, I then stamped a sentiment from the Blooming Botanicals stamp set.

To finish, I attached my card front to a black piece of cardstock to act as the frame and then attached this to an A2 card base.

Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!
