TAWS New Release Peek Day #3

Greetings TAWS Friends!!  I'm so excited to be here with you bringing another month's new release!!  Oh this month is nothing short of adorable, sweet and cuddly!!  Today I'm peeking a new set called Branching Out.  It's snuggly and warm with beautiful birch trees and some fun and furry creatures to combine to create lots of fun scenes.  

I first inked my birch trees with Versamark Ink and stamped them onto good quality watercolor paper.  I heat embossed them with white embossing powder and I used my Distress Inks in Peacock Feather, Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn to liberally sponged my background and then splattered pearlized water to create some drips and subtle shine.  I took a baby wipe to the birch trees to clear off any excess ink that may have stuck to them during the inking process.

I colored this adorable fox with a combination of watercolor paints and Copic markers finishing him off with my Wink of Stella pen to give him a little shimmer.  

I stamped my sentiment in Delicata Gold ink and heat set it with gold embossing powder.  I then inked the heart from another new set that's coming your way called Stumped.  I trimmed the hearts out and popped them up on tiny pieces of foam adhesive as you can see in the picture above.  I added some sequins scattered about for a nice touch of texture and shine.

Thanks so much for coming by today!

See you for the new release blog hop tomorrow!!

Crafty Hugs!
