Happy Monday to you! Today is the start of release week for the April release from Newton’s Nook Designs. This release is so perfect for spring and you are going to love it!
This new set is a really lovely start to the April offerings, don’t you think? The swirl images are always so pretty and the peacocks are fabulous! The sentiments that go with this set are also ones you are sure to love.
I decided to emboss the image with gold onto vellum and I love the effect. Using Copic markers, I colored on the back of the stamped image to create the color variances in his feathers. This technique is very forgiving and fun to do. Here is a closeup so you can see him a little better.I added another vellum panel over the card base. Using the coordinating die cuts for the set, the peacock is super easy to cut out. To help him stand out more, he is up on a stitched circle and I added some gold thread behind him. I know you will love all that the design team has to show you and here is your chance to get the set for free!
