Be-witch-ing Newton

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made for Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #134 - Color Challenge.  The colors are Orange, Purple, Yellow, and Black.  I used the Witchy Newton stamp for the last color challenge as well, but I just love this stamp!  It is so much fun to color!

This is an A6 size card, which is 6 1/4" x 4 1/2".  I started by die cutting a mask for the moon from Altenew's To the Moon die set.  I used purple tape to temporarily attach it to my background and began ink blending.  I used Distress Oxide Ink colors Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and Wilted Violet.  You can only see a little bit of the Wilted Violet since most of it got covered up with the hill and grass.  I then used Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink with NND Clouds stencil.  After inking the background, I flicked a little black paint onto it for some added texture.  After the background had dried, I removed the mask for the moon and stamped it with the coordinating moon stamp.  

Next, I cut out the hill and grass with NND Land Borders dies.  I adhered them to my card with liquid glue and foam tape.  I stamped the house from NND Spooky Street stamp set with black pigment ink right onto my card, and then stamped the graveyard from the same set onto white cardstock, which I fussy cut.  I stamped out one of my favorite Newton images, Witchy Newton, and colored it with Copic markers.  I stamped the sentiment in embossing ink and white heat embossed. 

After everything else was attached to the card, I was able to place the bats exactly where I wanted them.  I used the bat dies from NND Halloween Trio die set to cut out six glitter bats.  I adhered three down flat, then attached a second bat on top of each, just by the body, so I could bend the wings up to make the bats look in flight!  

Copic colors used for Newton:

• YR0000, YR000, YR20, YR31 - stripes
• Ears - R00, R11, R20
• Nose - R11

Hat and Boot:

• V01, V12, V04, V17
• Y17, YR04, YR07, YR09

For finishing touches on this card I added glitter to Newton's hat band and glossy accents to his nose.  I did use Copic color Y04 on the buttons and polka dots of the boot before adding yellow glitter Stickles on top!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!
