Newton’s Nook – April Release Day 4

It’s already the final day of release reveals for the Newton’s Nook April Release! Today I’m extra excited to go back to our critter loving roots and have a new Newton and Puppy set to share with you.

Newton’s Bubble Tea stamps and dies

Puppy’s Bubble Tea stamps and dies

Are these images not just adorable? They are great for cards but are also going to be fun for tags and things too! We love boba tea in our house! Do you?

First up, a shaker card with Newton’s Bubble tea. I colored the images soft and sweet and kept the card colors in line with that. Using the new Frames & Tags dies to create a grid with one window as a shaker was fun and different for me. The shaker bits are from the Newton’s Nook birthday last year – Celebration Embellishment Mix.

I went direct-to-paper with my ink pad again on the card base. I love that texture and variation that you get from such a quick technique. For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the boba and Newton’s nose and toe beans.

Moving on to Puppy’s Bubble Tea, I added paint to some texture paste to emulate the tapioca boba in his bubble tea. Then I used bits a pieces from the new die sets to pull everything together.

My rectangles were cut from pink cardstock to pull in the fun pink straw using the Frames & Tags dies. Then the flag banner comes from the new Basic Frames dies and is the perfect focal point to bring everything together.

For finishing touches I added some black bubbles and glossy accents. I also went over the puppy’s eyes with black glaze pen and a white gel highlight after that was dry.
