Welcome to day 2 of the November reveals and today, wow, we've got two amazing new stamp/die combos to show you and more of the fabulous new plaid stencil, so here we go!
Don't forget to comment on all the DT's blogs listed below for your chance to win a $25 g/c to the Newton's Nook Designs store!
So starting with my first card, I used the new Winter Birds stamps/die combo, I adore this new set, how about you? I really enjoyed coloring these birds and plan to color many more this holiday season! As you can see, I used the plaid stencil, but this time only used the one layer. I thought it looked great and made the perfect background for my birdies! I also used the pine bough and berries from the Pines and Holly Die Set.
Then comes this new Poinsettia Blooms stamp/die set, I'm in love! What about you? I just love all the floral and greenery, I enjoyed coloring this so, so much! I cut a small rectangle in black, heat embossed the sentiment in white and created a chalk board look by frosting the edges in white ink. I then foam mounted my florals and leaves in the corners and glued it on the Plaid Stencil background I created using a gold stripe on black with a little paint spatter.
