Newton's Flower Garden Card Set by June Guest Designer Amy Tollner

Hi everyone! I’m so excited for my second post with Newton’s Nook Designs! I absolutely LOVE the new Newton’s Flower Garden Stamp Set. When I saw the new Butterflies Stencil Set I knew I had to use them together!

I started by die cutting the two stitched square pieces with dies from the Frames Squared die set. On the smaller squares I made a sky with the Clouds Stencil. I then die cut the smaller pieces from the Fence Die Set and the Sky Scene Builder Die set I would need for my scenes and colored them with Distress Oxide Inks.

The colors I used are:
Sun – Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade
Clouds – Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean
Grass – Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn
Fence – Weathered Wood, which I lightly dabbed on in a few places

Next, I made the butterfly backgrounds with the new Butterflies Stencil Set, and they came out gorgeous! The problem was, I knew I wanted to apply glitter paste over the butterflies, and after stenciling on Layer 2, I realized that the details would be obscured by the glitter paste. I have included the picture below because I wanted to show how absolutely beautiful this stencil set is.

I decided to use just Layer 1 of the Butterflies Stencil Set and apply the glitter paste over it. This is a picture before the glitter paste was applied.

For the top card the colors I used are Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar, and Shaded Lilac. For the bottom card I used Twisted Citron, Wilted Violet, and Tumbled Glass.

Here is a picture after applying the glitter paste. The colors become muted and take on a more pastel shade, which is what I was going for!

Before assembling the cards, I stamped a sentiment from Newton’s Flower Garden over the clouds in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed over it. I love the shiny look it gives to the sentiment!

For this card I used crouching Newton, adding a couple flowers and fluttering butterflies around him, and colored them with Copic markers.

I finished off both cards using a glitter pen on the butterflies, and applying glossy accents to the butterfly bodies, butterfly details, flower centers, and Newton’s cute nose! I hope you all enjoyed my cards this week, and are able to get your *paws* on some of these awesome new products! Have a great week everyone!!
