Newton's Nook Sketch Challenge

Hello crafty friends!
Happy middle of the week!
It's been a while again since I shared anything or crafted at all! Eeek, sorry! Again some life stuff popped up and kept me from my craft room, but I'm getting back into and should not disapear again! While I was not crafting though I did order a bunch of new craft supplies, mostly stamp sets and dies & can't wait to share what I do with them!
Today I'm sharing a card for the Newton's Nook sketch challenge.

I used the newer Delightful Doxies stamp set! Love, love this set! It's so stinkin cute and couldn't wait to start playing with it. I also purchased my first order of sequins fom Pretty Pink Posh, so naturally I had to create a shaker card!:)


I started off by die cutting my frame for the shaker element with some gray card stock and using a stitched rectangle die from My Favorite Things. I sponged some soft blue ink in the background to create some soft clouds, stamped some butterflys and my sentiment. I added my acetate sheet and foam adhesive, added my pretty sequins to finish the shaker elemant off. I then stamped my images with SSS black ink onto 120lb base cardstock, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out leaving a slight white space. I added some twine to the doggies tail and adhered on to my frame.
I cut the bottom of my car using the stitched hillside border die from Lawn Fawn and added some orange scrap paper I had on hand to add mor color. The pretty orange twine on top came from the packaging when I recieved theis stamp set from Newton's Nook:)
I added some clear wink of stella on the kite (sadly doiesn't picture well) and some more sequins around the card, & that's it!



Copics used:
Doggie:  E53 E55 E57
Kite: BV00 BV000 BG01 B00

I hope you enjoyed my card! I love the way it turned out, the colors are so summery to me.
Thank you so much for stopping by!!
