Newton's Nook Designs February Release - Day Three

Welcome back for the third and final day of Newton's Nook Designs February Release.  Today we are previewing the largest set of the release - Newton's Birthday Bash!

Something about the image of Newton rustling around inside the gift bag with the tissue paper sticking out spoke to me and I decided to use it on an actual gift bag:

Here is a close up of Newton kitty:

First I stamped Newton on white paper and colored him in using Copic markers, trying to mimic the real Newton's coloring.  Then I stamped the bag portion of the image on patterned paper that matched the gift bag I was using and cut out the top along the stamped edge and added about an extra 3/8" on the sides and the bottom of the bag.  Then I folded it along the black lines to create a dimensional effect and paper pieced it in place.  I tucks a piece of the tissue paper I used in the bag behind Newton kitty in place of the stamped paper and attached him to the panel using thick dimensional dots - VIOLA!  You could even tuck a little treat or some rolled up bills in there!  Do you like it?  Wait 'til you see what my teamies made with it too!

Now on to the fun part...
