I started my background pieces by blending Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade and Spun Sugar. Those two colors blend together nicely making a pretty light orange color! I then used Newton's Nook Designs Balloons stencil with Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. Next, I die cut a piece of pink glitter card stock using NND Slimline Frames and Windows die. I attached my ink blended panel to a piece of pink glitter card stock for a border, and then attached the pink glitter windows to the ink blended panel with foam tape for some dimension.
After completing the background, I stamped out these super cute Newton images from Newton's Birthday Bash and Newton Loves Cake stamp sets. I colored all the pieces with Copic markers then die cut them out with their coordinating dies. After figuring out the placement for each piece, I stamped the sentiments with black pigment ink, then adhered the Newtons with liquid glue and foam tape. I used a double layer of foam tape for the center Newton with the balloon to give him some extra lift!
Copic Colors used for Newtons:
- Y35, Y17, YR15, YR16 - for stripes
- Shadow for white fur on chest - N0, N1
- Ears - R20, R32, R43
- Noses - R20
Red:

For finishing touches I used a glitter pen for some sparkle and glossy accents for some shine! I also added some crystals for more bling! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!
