Hey friends! I’m over on the Newton’s Nook blog today with more inspiration from the February release. I adore the Newton puppies and this lucky dog set is now at the top of those! I wanted to share a fun card that shows how these new sets don’t have to be only for St. Patrick’s Day.
So I stamped and colored my sweet pup and some hearts with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then, I had an idea for extra layers and shapes so I went to work with the Frames Squared die set.
I cut the rounded square from pink cardstock and used the petite hearts stencil on it. Then I cut half of the label die from black cardstock and glued it behind. I stamped my sentiment on the smallest circle on that set and glued it to the right of center where I knew I wanted the puppy.
Next, I ink blended distress oxide inks on a heart using the basketweave stencil and splattered it with gold watercolor. I glued that down before popping my puppy up with foam squares.
Working all the way backward, I trimmed a piece of gray cardstock down and ink blended the edges with pumice stone and a teeny bit of black soot distress oxide inks. This panel is popped up with foam tape on a card base with some green washi tape tucked under the bottom edge. Then I popped the other collection I already have glued together up with foam tape on that.
For finishing touches I went over the puppy’s eyes with black glaze pen, let it dry and added a white gel pen highlight back in. Then I added glossy accents to his nose and stardust Stickles to the floating hearts and clover.
