For Day 3, we are showcasing the Baa Stamp Set and coordinating dies.

This stamp set is probably one of my favorites from the release this week!  Once again I wanted some soft colors to welcome spring!

I started by stamping my images on some Neenah solar white with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  I colored the images in with alcohol markers and positioned the dies with some purple tape to die-cut them out.

Next, I die-cut the elements that I need to create my scene using some of my favorite scene-builder dies from Newton’s Nook –>  Land Borders Die Set (for the grass and hill), Picket Fence Die and the Sky Scene Builder die set. The tiny trees were die-cut using a die from my collection.

I prepared my background by adding the clouds using the Clouds Stencil with some blending brush and dye ink.  I adhered this panel on an A-2 size notecard.   I started adhering the pieces that I die-cut earlier to create my scene and foam-mounted the grass for added dimension.

I adhered the colored images with some liquid glue and finished the design by adding the sentiment that was embossed and heat-set on some black card stock.  Here’s another look at the finished card:

NNDNewtonsMovieNight1A

Here’s how I made it:

  • stamp the images on smooth white card stock, color and and die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.  I used the dies to die-cut the 3D glasses and the popcorn but I fussy-cut the main image.
  • Ink up an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth white card stock with distress oxide inks.  I used Victorian Velvet distress oxide ink.
  • I smooshed my Aged Mahogany distress oxide ink onto an acrylic block and used my distress sprayer to add water.  I then used my watercolor brush to splatter some color onto my inked up background.
  • I used the popcorn stencil and moonstone glimmer paste to add some glitter and shine on my background, using a palette knife.

  • I used another die from my stash to die-cut the “wooden floors”.  I also used this die to die-cut the colored background.  I adhered both panels to my A2-size card base.

  • I die-cut some diagonal frames in white and pink card stock and adhered them together, and stamped my sentiment.
  • I adhered all of the pieces onto the card.
  • I finished my design by adding some glossy accents to the 3D glasses.

NNDCluck1A

How I made it:

  • stamp the images on Neenah solar white card stock and color the images in with Copic markers.
  • die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.
  • die-cut the speech bubbles using the Speech bubble die set and stamp the sentiment on each bubble.
  • die-cut the clouds using the Sky borders die set and the Picket Fence with some white card stock.
  • cut an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth white card stock and use the Sunscape stencil to ink up the background with some distress oxide inks.  I used the Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber distress oxide inks.
  • use the distress sprayer to spray some water on the inked up background and wipe it with some paper towel.
  • die-cut the grass three times using the grass border die with some patterned paper.
  • adhere the clouds using some foam adhesive.
  • assemble the rest of the elements to finish the card design.

 

To finish my design, I used my Sakura white gel pen to add some lines and dots on the images.  Here’s a closer look:
