To start this card I picked out the floral paper I wanted to use for the background from the Springtime Paper Pad and cut it using the Fractured Card Layout Die.  I used the same die to cut out the green glitter frame.  The green glitter cardstock is from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. 

Next, I stamped this super cute image of Newton, and a couple of extra leaves, from Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set, directly onto the white cardstock I used in the center.  I stamped it in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!

I assembled my card using green glitter cardstock for the base, and popped up the images with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, glossy accents on Newton's nose, and a few sparkling sequins!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project with a Friendship Theme using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
