Herd It's Your Birhday Card by October Guest Designer Allison Arbour

 

Hello Newton’s Nook fans! 

I’ve had so much fun and am so excited to have had the opportunity to guest design this month with all these insanely talented artists. For my last card guesting I used the beyond adorable Moo Stamp Set. My plan was to use one of the cows for this card but couldn’t decide which one was cuter so in the end 3 of them made there way on to it and I’m so glad they did. I love how this card turned out. 

Here’s how I created this card:

Start with a white slimline card base.

On top layer a white scallop slimline die cut slightly smaller.

Next make a slightly smaller slimline frame and ink up with oxide ink in the colour tattered rose.

Ink up a piece of white card stock with a cobblestone stencil using oxide inks in the colours antique linen, gathered twigs and brushed corduroy. Die cut a cloud border die strip (enough to cover the bottom of your slimline) and some additional clouds from your inked panel. You could use the Sky Borders Die Set from Newton's Nook Designs for this. 

Position and glue the cows heads from the Moo Stamp Set, clouds and larger cloud to the back of the frame. Glue some grass strips behind the bottom of the large cloud at bottom. You could use the Land Borders Die Set from Newton's Nook Designs for this. 

Add foam tape to the frame and attach to top of card.

Add a cow from the Moo Stamp Set to the bottom and a sentiment stamped on a white cloud with dimensional tape. You could use the Sky Scene Builder Die Set from Newton's Nook Designs for the cloud. 

Finish the card with a few nuvo drops.

Crafty Hugs,
Allie
