Welcome everyone! I’m back today with more clean and simple inspiration using the new Newton’s Nook toner card fronts from Friday’s release. Saturday I showed a very mixed media-style card and today I’m sharing the other side of things with a bright and clean way to use them too.
I started by foiling the candy cane stripe design with red deco foil. Then I used the largest Frames & Tags die to cut the fun zig-zag panel out. Next, I chose a great image for my card design to stamp and color with copic markers. This one comes from Wreath Pups.
After cutting the image out with the coordinating die, I chose one of the new tags to cut and ink blend with teal before stamping my sentiment on the bottom. After all that was done, I popped the image up with foam tape and threaded ribbon through the hole, tying it up with some jute twine.
Pulling from the teal on the tag, I took a white card base and drug my teal ink pad across it for my favorite way to add textured color. I popped the foiled panel up with foam tape and splattered a little distress oxide spray across it. Foiling is rarely perfect and a little splatter distracts from imperfections.
Last, I added the tag to the card front and finished the design off with some glossy accents to the puppy noses and wreath berries and white gel pen highlights in various places as well.
Have you started holiday cards yet? I’m proud to say my stash is pretty healthy this year. Better than it’s been in a long time with just over a month to go before I even start mailing them out.
