wagon of wishes {newton's nook designs august release}

I'm excited to be joining the Newton's Nook team today, showing off their new set, "wagon of wishes."

wagon of wishes.

For my first card, I did what I love to do best: I created a scene by masking the cat-in-the-wagon image and stamping fall leaves all around.  The sentiment was curved to nestle right over the leaves.  For a bit of extra fall goodness, I die-cut some new lawn fawn leaves - I love them!

For my second card, I created a leafy background with the same leaf cluster as the top card, stamping it randomly onto white cardstock.  I blended distress inks on top to make it look more like patterned paper.

I hope you like the cards!  Would you like to win a "wagon of wishes" set?  2 lucky winners will be chosen!

Here's how to win:

1. Comment on the Newton's Nook design blog.  One winner will be randomly chosen from the August release comments.

2.  Comment on the design team and guest designer blogs.  One winner will be chosen at random from the August release blog posts.  You don't know which blog will be chosen, so comment on all of them for a better chance at winning!  You have until Thursday, August 15th at 9pm (CST) to comment - the winners will be announced on the Newton's Nook blog on Friday, August 16th.

    Oh my gosh you are a girl after my own heart. I love both of your cards and for different reasons. The 1st card is bright and cheery and made me wish for fall. The second card is so beautiful for the way you blended the colored background it is gorgeous and really does look like patterned paper. You are very talented thanks for sharing. P.S. I love masking when I stamp and it isn't talked about that much.

    Great cards. Good idea to use a verse rather than a picture in the wagon.

    Lovely cards! I really like how you created such an elegant looking background pattern with the leaf cluster image and how you have little Newton resting on his pumpkin nestled in a pile of leaves - perfect for fall!

    These are both so awesome!! Perfect masking on the first, and some great colours, along with those Lawn Fawn leaves! And the second just totally looks like patterned paper, though I knew you'd stamped it because you're amazing like that.
