Welcome back for another day of release week for the April release from Newton’s Nook Designs. Day 2 has a beautiful flower set called Lovely Blooms.
I hardly knew where to start with this set. If you follow me, you know I love myself a flower. And this set is full of pretty images to mix and match. I finally settled on creating a watercolor styled card but kept it simple. I sponged Distress Ink onto watercolor paper creating some ombré effects and then stamped over the sponging with the images. The coordinating Lovely Blooms Dies made short work of cutting things out so that I could create this pretty little arrangement. The script sentiments are really great so I chose to create this one for mom. Um….sorry mom, should have given a spoiler alert. I added a few sequins for a finishing touch and I just love the effect you get on this with no actual coloring required.
Of course, if you love to color, this set is totally for you too! I’ll show you what I mean tomorrow! Until then, you have a chance to win this set with just some simple commenting.

Oh wow, Jen! I would have never thought of an Ombre flower with this set! but why not!!? It is absolutely gorgeous!!! And then you stamped the image with black, which looks really beautiful on your ombre flower! A white sentiment on a black cardstock and a few sequins make your card juuuust perfect!!

I love what you did with this set. It’s such a colorful card and I love that you did it with just ink and not coloring! What a great way to make fast and beautiful cards! Thank you for the lovely inspiration!
