Sale-a-bration ’18

Welcome back for day 2 of the February Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. Today I have a little cuteness overload for you. I mean really, who can resist Bitty Bunnies?!

I really wanted to put the focus on this sweet little bunny but still have some neutral details to add to the card. I started by coloring the bunny with my Copics and knew he would be super cute against this notecard (from SU’s Sale-a-bration). I liked how the envelope had the light brown with speckles so I colored the bunny to coordinate, including the speckles. I used a new embossing folder with the basket weave which is a nod to an Easter basket but I like that this doesn’t have to be an Easter card. The Flags and Frames Dies were used for the stitched details and for the banner. The bunnies, butterflies and flowers in this set all work to give you lovely little scene choices and you are sure to love coloring them.

Make sure you hop over to see all the bunny cards from our amazing DT at NND! Such inspiration! Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week. A chance to win!!

Yes, I finally did it. I took a break from making Christmas cards. Yes, I still have some to finish and all of them to address but I needed a brief reprieve. So I used this week’s Freshly Made Sketches sketch designed by the amazing Jen Mitchell to show off some new things.

Alright, alright, the sketch is actually a square. And I really love square cards! But I wanted to use this lavender image so badly and it just fit better on a rectangle. The flower is from the new Sale-a-bration set called Lots of Lavender and it will be available on January 3rd for free with a $50 US purchase. I actually heard it calling to me the second I saw it. I used some soft Tim Holtz Distress Inks on Bristol Smooth paper to color it and the background. Such a pretty one to work with and it hardly takes any time to color. I wanted to use this sentiment from the new Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts Stamp Set (Occasions 2018, available on Jan 3rd too) but didn’t want to lose any of the image. Vellum to the rescue. I added a small piece of Elegant Eggplant behind the image panel to try to keep with the sketch. The whole panel is popped up on foam (I find this helps keep the panel smooth after watercoloring) and then put on a base from the Wood Textures DSP. These woodgrains are so pretty and can be used in so many ways.

I hope you like this pretty little look at spring! Now off I go, back to the Christmas card production line! Thanks so much for stopping in today. I’m back tomorrow with a fun card for Newton’s Nook. Until then, have a great day!
