Welcome back! Have you been enjoying all the crafty awesomeness Jen has created for us this release? Day 4 continues with everyone's favorite kitty and pretty stand alone die to please you floral enthusiasts. Introducing 'Aloha Newton':
And The Hibiscus stand alone die set:
I had trouble deciding which of the adorable Newton images to use, but I settled settled on the one in the hammock to create this card:
I had fun creating a tone-on-tone background with the outline image of the pretty little hibiscus flower. Speaking of hibiscus flowers I really love the detail of the Hibiscus dies:
This time I sponged the background to create a graduated effect - which did you prefer - this sponged one or the brayered one yesterday? I think I prefer the brayer, the colors were richer, though they REALLY soaked that cardstock, had to hit it with a heat gun before embossing it was so wet!
Would you like to win a $20 store credit?

Hello. Today it is my turn to be featured on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog. When I first saw Newton kitty on the BIG ball of yarn from the newly released 'Newton Unwinds' set, I immediately pictured it on a spinner card - so that is what I made for you today:
I created the background of yarn balls in all the colors of the rainbow using images from Newton Unwinds and the previously released 'Newton's Antics' set. I colored Newton's HUGE yarn ball to match this pretty variegated yarn I purchased at Michaels (Loops & Threads Charisma Baby yarn, in the color 'Toy Train', you can kind of see it to the right of the card in the picture) that I am going to use for a prayer blanket for my Ty Baby (he is having a lump removed on Friday, we are praying that is all that will need to be done and he can heal afterwards without further treatment; any prayers or positive thoughts you can offer on his behalf are appreciated more than you know!). Since it common in crochet to finish things off with a scalloped shell stitched border, I used my shell shaped Martha Stewart edger punch to highlight the sentiment at the bottom.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and thank you for any prayers offered up on our Ty Baby's behalf.

Hello! Here is a card I made for one of the DTGD challenges at Splitcoaststampers.com and Paper Smooches' Anything Goes Sparks Challenge using some fun stamps from Paper Smooches' 'I Heart Art' set:
I punched out a circle from a Post It note and put it in the center of the card to make sure the colored pencils were centered around it evenly (I am not good enough to eye ball it without a guide). Figured this would be perfect for popping into a RAK I send one of my crafty friends sometime.
Well, that is it for me for the evening, hoping to have a few more to post for you tomorrow or Sunday. Until then, have a terrific weekend!~ Crafty Math Chick
