Newton’s Nook – Release Day and IG Hop

Hey friends! It’s finally release day for Newton’s Nook and we’re having an Instagram Hop to celebrate! Below are details for my card but be sure to head to Instagram to hop along and comment there for chances to win today!

After I finished my cards using these two new sets – Autumn Fields and Pumpkin Tails – I absolutely had to try this design out with the scarecrow sticking out of the pumpkins! Isn’t it totally meant to be?!? I think so!

So, after stamping and coloring my images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and then inked up a sweet background with the Pumpkin Patch stencil. I used cream cardstock for the base and the mini blending brushes to get the different colors mixed in on this single stencil. I love that it almost has a watercolor look to it.

Next, I cut a piece of brown cardstock with the largest Frames & Flags die, then cut the center out of that panel with the largest Basic Frames die. It fits perfectly creating a great scallop border. I glued that to the stenciled panel and popped up my images with foam squares. Then I placed the whole thing in my MISTI and stamped my sentiment in the upper right corner.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all kitty noses, pumpkin stems and parts of the scarecrow too! I’m completely smitten with how this card turned out! It might just stay on my craft desk for the season.
