Newton’s Nook – August Release Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Newton’s Nook August Release reveals! I hope you loved yesterday’s reveals and are excited for more fall fun today.

Chrysanthemum stamps and dies

We’re adding another gorgeous floral to the collection and it happens to be one of my favorite flowers. When I start seeing the big pots of these in front of the stores I know it’s really fall and I get so excited! Also, it’s the flower for November when my birthday is so that probably plays a part too.

I stamped and colored the image with copic markers in my very favorite shade that these flowers come in. Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also hot foiled an Autumn Greetings sentiment and die cut it with one of the Banner Duo dies.

For my background panel, I cut a dark blue piece of cardstock and paired it with the Plaid stencil. The first layer I inked with gathered twigs distress oxide ink, hoping the ink would sit on top of the cardstock with a brown tone. It didn’t as much as I hoped but it still looks great. For the second layer I spread Thermoweb transfer gel blanco through it and let that dry. Then I ran the panel through my mini Minc machine with light blue deco foil flock.

For my card base, I inked the edges with gathered twigs distress oxide ink before popping the flocked panel up with foam tape. Then I added the florals with foam squares and tucked the end of my sentiment banner underneath them, also using foam squares on that.
