To start this card I cut a teal cardbase to 5" x 6 1/2".  I then cut a 2" strip of smooth white cardstock on which I used the Butterflies Stencil Set.  For Layer 1, I used Distess Oxide Inks Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac.  For Layer 2, I used Kitsch Flamingo and Wilted Violet.  Since the stencil is 6" by 6", I cut the stenciled paper where it would fall under the large circle so I could extend the paper to the edges of my card!  

Next, I stamped out this super cute image of the pup and butterfly from the Puppy Friends Stamp Set, colored it with Copic markers, and cut it out using the coordinating die set.  I also stamped a butterfly from Newton's Picnic Stamp Set, colored it, and cut it out with the coordinating die.

I used the Circle Frames Die Set to cut the two stitched circles out of smooth white cardstock.  On the larger circle I used the Sunscape Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed for the sun, and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the grass.  On the smaller circle, I stamped a sentiment from the Puppy Friends Stamp Set with black pigment ink and clear embossed for some shine!  I also inked the edges of the smaller circle with teal ink to match the cardbase. 

I assembled my card adhering the layers and ribbon, and popping up the images and sentiment circle with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, glitter to the butterfly's wings and the polka dots, and glossy accents to the pup's nose!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
