Newton's Nook Designs June Release- Chicken Scratches

Good Morning!  It's release day for Newton's Nook Designs!  Their June release is so fun!!  Today we are sharing cards made with the new Chicken Scratches stamp set:

Chicken Scratches is all about chickens!  I had fun with this one!  I started by stamping my card front.  I chose a rainbow of colors from my Stampin' Up! inks and used them to stamp the chicken wire stamp over and over again until the space was filled.  Next, I added a panel of the sunrays patterned paper from the Hello Sunshine 6x6 pad by Lawn Fawn and sewed around the edges.  I added the doily and sewed the edge of that, too.
I stamped the chickens over the doily and on patterned papers with black ink.  I fussy cut around the patterned papers and pieced them over the images on the doily.  I added a bit of shading with my Copic markers and also added some chicken feed to the area around their feet.  Aren't they cute?  :)  I added my sentiment last.

This set is so fun!  Even if you're not a chicken person (I'm not! Hee!) this one might just grow on you!  I love the way they look paper pieced...  Chicken Scratches will be available for purchase on June 20th.

A Happy Camper Hello Card

Good morning!  I thought I'd pop on this morning and share a fun card I made recently.  This one features the adorable Happy Trails stamp set by Lawn Fawn:

I started my card by stamping the stars from Starry Backdrops onto a robin's egg blue card base.  I used Versamark and then added clear embossing powder and heat set it for a shiny finish.

I diecut a large stitched journaling card and cut it to fit my card front.  I stamped my scene using Versafine Onyx Black ink and then paper pieced the trees in.  I added the sun in yellow and the hello, too.  I stamped the camper onto white cardstock and fussy cut around it.  I colored the camper with a silver paint pen and then shadowed over it using Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  I added some shadows and ground using the pencils and a copic marker, too.

I finished my card by adding a banner of the striped paper from the Hello Sunshine 6x6 pad.  I embellished it with a few sequins from the same collection and a bit of linen thread.

This one was fun!  I love how the camper turned out using the silver paint marker- I can't wait to use that again!  I am adding this to the Lawnscaping Challenge this week- it's all about embossing:

Well, I hope you have a fun day!  If you have time, don't forget to pop over and vote for this round of Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Magazine's Gallery Idol contest- I'm hoping to make it into the next round!!

Thanks for stopping by :)
