Newton's Nook - Right as Rain

Newton’s Nook – Beach Days

We are having a record-breaking heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest. Lying in a hammock is about all I have the energy to do!

I stamped this adorable image from the Newton’s Nook Aloha Newton set with Versafine ink on Arches hot-press paper. I colored the image with a variety of watercolor mediums, including Distress Inks and portable palettes (no longer available). I used Taylored Expressions ink and cardstock for the Tropical Leaves stenciled background.

CAS(E) this Sketch 279 – Sail Away

Hello! I am playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch #279 Challenge.

I stamped the sentiment (now retired but a favorite of mine) in Gray Flannel on white cardstock.
I inked the Waves Stencil (which I masked) with Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch.
I colored white cardstock with Hickory Smoke and Mermaid Lagoon from which I cut the Sailboat (now retired.
I added the stamped and stenciled panel to a Slate Gray card base.

Newton’s Book Club – Colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brushes

Hello! Today, I am sharing a “just because” CAS card created with the Newton’s Nook Newton’s Book Club stamp set. You can see the other two cards I created with the same stamp set here (Copic-colored cat) and here (watercolored cat).

I stamped the cat with Intense Black ink on Mixed Media paper and colored him (her?) with a combination of Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens (list below). It is easy to blend the colors on this paper, and I did so with almost no water. For the background, and the accent strip, I used patterned paper from a Echo Park pad (from several seasons ago) that complemented the reading/book theme.

Newton’s Nook Book Club – A Watercolored Version

Hello. Today, I am sharing another CAS card created with the Newton’s Nook Newton’s Book Club stamp set.

A few weeks ago, I shared a card using a different image from the same stamp set (the set contains three cute cat images); on that version, I colored the cat image with Copic markers. For this version, I stamped the cat image on Arches Hot Press Watercolor Paper with VersaFine ink and watercolored the image with Distress Inks and Distress Ink Markers. I used patterned papers from my stash to add visual variety to the card base.

Newton’s Nook Book Club

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with the Newton’s Nook Newton’s Book Club stamp set.

I stamped, cut, and colored the sweet cat image and added it to a rectangle on which I added Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and stamped the sentiment.

The background paper is from an Echo Park pad.
