I can’t believe that it is already the last day of the March release from Newton’s Nook Designs. Today’s set will be an instant classic for all you Newton fans. This one just has my heart!
I feel like acts of kindness are such an important part of our stamping community and this image just embodies that attitude! Little Newton helping his friend makes me happy.
I stamped the image plus a bunch of the rain drops using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto Thick Whisper White card stock and then colored using Copic Markers (colors listed below). Then I just started coloring away. I debated making the umbrella rainbow colors (which would be totally adorable, by the way) but after creating a green panel, I just kept going with the green. I cut our pair out with the coordinating dies and did the same with the raindrop trios. Having those popped up for dimension is a small detail that makes all the difference. Love that they have a die for it! I created a corner cloud by using the Sky Borders die on an angle and then cutting a second time with a stitched rectangle. I used a base in the same colors as the rain and puddles and then chose this fun yellow envelope to match our duck. I hope this will brighten someone’s day. It will be in the mail soon since I created it with a special someone in mind. Now make sure you get to hopping around because I know you want a chance to win this one!

Now I will warn you…do not even think about starting to work with this set on an empty stomach. I can tell you that the more I colored, the more I wanted chocolate! Although in fairness, I generally will be happy to have chocolate when I’m stamping (or any time)! I had such fun deciding what ‘flavors’ to make each little treat. A dark chocolate, a little milk chocolate, some white chocolate thrown in for good measure and then that lovely macaron! I have a list at the end of my supply list with the specific Copic Markers that I used. After getting all the treats colored it was quick work to cut out the images with the coordinating Love & Chocolate Dies. All I had to do was stack them on the little platter for presentation. I picked a sentiment from the set and stamped onto the DSP. In a nod to bakeries that have pretty doilies for their goodies, I added one under the platter and tied on some baker’s twine.
