Exciting News and Thank You Card!

 Hi All!  I just wanted to share some really exciting news with you.  I have been asked to join the Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration Team!  I am so honored and grateful for this opportunity!  I have loved playing along with the Inky Paws Challenge, and am looking forward to inspiring fellow card makers to play along as well!  

As a huge Thank You to Jen at Newton's Nook Designs, and all of the wonderful ladies that have welcomed me to the team, I have created a card just for you!

Thank You card by Amy Tollner - Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set and Slimline Frames and Portholes Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

To start this card I cut a piece of silver glitter cardstock to 8.5" x 3.5".  I used the scalloped frame die from NND Slimline Frames and Portholes die set to cut smooth white cardstock on which I blended Distress Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Blueprint Sketch.  It is one of my favorite blue ink blending combos!  It is so vibrant!  I then flicked some silver watercolor paint onto the ink blended panel.  

Next, I stamped the wreaths and trio of flowers from NND Happy Little Thoughts stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out with their coordinating dies.  I glued a trio of flowers to the bottom of the two outer wreaths, and cut away the little piece of paper that attached the two sides of each wreath at the top.  I used liquid glue to adhere the two outer wreaths to the card, and popped up the center wreath with foam tape.  I silver heat embossed the sentiment, which is from NND Peony Blooms stamp set, and fussy cut it out, using foam tape to attach it to the card as well.
