Hi crafty friends! This is already my last card as a January guest designer for Newton's Nook Designs and I've had a blast! I hope you were inspired too. Now without further ado, let's take a look at how it came together!
I started by cutting two mini slimline panels, one from a gray and white patterned paper and one from my regular sturdy white cardstock. I used Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks to create a fun background. Over top, I used the Cascading Stars Stencil to create some interest as well as stamped some of the small images from the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set in gold colored ink.
I used some text dies from my stash, to get the words 'sending' and 'hugs' for my card. I lightly colored the letters with my copics (BG11-13) and embellished them with glitter. I combined the die cut words with the 'happy' and 'birthday' sentiment from the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set to create a new sentiment to fit my card. I adhered the separate letters from the word hugs by positioning them on my card the way I wanted them and picking them up using a long strip of washi tape. Just flip it around, add liquid glue and attach it to your card. This is a great tip when you need to outline separate elements on cards.
Lastly, I colored up the kitty with the champagne glass, the party hat and some pieces of confetti with my copic markers (E50-E55 for the kitty, BG11-13 and RV04-06 for the hat and confetti, Y21 and Y00 for the champagne and B0000-000-00 for the glass). I attached my image using some foam tape and added some glossy accents and glitter to finish my card.
So long for now and hope to meet you again online!
Long distance hugs,
