To start this card I die cut a piece of light blue cardstock with the scalloped frame die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I then used the Seashells Stencil with glitter paste to make a sparkling background!  

I stamped out the seashell image from the Seashell Roundabout and the girl from the Summer Moments Stamp Set.  I colored all of the images with copic markers.  I used the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set to cut out the image of the shells, and the Summer Moments Die Set to cut out the girl.

Next, I used a stitched fishtail banner die from the Banner Trio Die Set to cut out a piece of teal cardstock for my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Seashell Roundabout, and white heat embossed.  

I assembled my card using a teal cardbase, and popped up the girl and sentiment banner with foam tape for some dimension!

Aloha Newton Stamp and Die Set, Summer Moments Stamp and Die Set, Sunscape Stencil, Retro Sun and Palms Stencil Set, Frames and Flags Die Set by Newtons Nook Designs #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnook #nnd #inkypawschallenge #inkypaws #handmade

To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock using the scalloped frame die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I then blended on some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink.  Next, I used the Sunscape Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade for the sun and sunrays, and Tea Dye for the sand.  I then splattered on some gold watercolor paint and set it aside to dry.

I stamped out this adorable image of Newton and his drink from the Aloha Newton Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.  The shells are from the Summer Moments Stamp Set.  I colored them with my copics as well, and cut them out with their coordinating die set.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Aloha Newton Stamp Set, directly onto the background in brown pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!  I then used the Retro Sun and Palms Stencil Set to add in the seagulls using white pearl paste. 

I assembled my card using dark kraft paper for my cardbase, and foam tape to pop up Newton and his drink for some dimension!
