Hello Everyone,

We are halfway through the May Release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs but we still have some super cute new sets to show. Today is all about birds: Birdhouse Greetings has the most adorable images and it comes with a coordinating die set, There is also a new Birdhouse Line Stencil which allows you to create stunning quick cards.

All new products will be available on 19/05/2023.

CARD 1

For my first card I stamped and coloured a bunch of birdhouses from Birdhouse Greetings using Copic markers. I really enjoyed just sitting and colouring, I can totally relax this way. I cut everything out with their coordinating dies.

Then I did a quick ink blending on a white card base with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and added a to of splatters: water droplets, white and black paint and some diluted Tumbled Glass ink. I love the texture it gives. I also die cut grass from light green cardstock with a Land Border die and added a bit of shading with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

The sentiments I white heat embossed on black cardstock and just fussy cut them out with my scissors. After assembling the scene, I simply adhered the sentiments on the die cut images.

I used the small birds and butterflies as embellishments to enrich the scene. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and a black glaze pen to emphasize the eyes. I also used a clear shimmer pen on the wings and a drop of glossy accents on the bodies of the butterflies.

CARD 2

For my second card I used the Birdhouse Line stencil with Gathered Twigs distress oxide ink first and then added a layer of Transparent gloss paste over it. I set it aside to dry. When it wasn’t sticky any more, I added the second layer with Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch.

For the birds I used Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze in Sapphire Macaw colour. I love the texture and pearlescent shine.

After it was all dry, I cut the panel down and added a blue violet mat to it. The sentiment I stamped with turquoise ink from the Cozy Camper stamp set.
