Newton's Nook Designs April Release | Day 4 - 17turtles Juliana Michaels

Hello friends and welcome to the fourth and final day of the Newton's Nook Designs April Release Blog Hop! Today we're featuring the new stamp set and coordinating die set called Newton's Birdbath. In this new stamp set, the ever adorable Newton is having a splashing good time playing in the water with the birds!

Just a reminder, all of the new products from the Newton's Nook Designs April Release will be available April 14!

I pulled out my favorite coloring tools - my Prismacolor colored pencils and gave Newton a bright red birdbath to play in with his new feathered friends. To create the background, I used my new favorite technique - Smooshing! During the March release, I shared a quick tutorial on how to do this technique which I call the Distress Ink Smooshing Background Technique.

So Many Smiles Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Birdbath stamp and die set

Once all the inking and coloring was completed, I used the Newton's Birdbath coordinating dies, to die cut the images and popped them up using some double sided foam adhesive.

So who's ready to have some fun? Would you like to win the “Newton's Birdbath” Stamp Set? This set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
