Hi all! I am honored to be joining Newton’s Nook Designs as a guest designer for their September release. In I will be using the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set, I love all of the fun coffee images in this set as well as the great sentiments.
I started out by stamping Newton Holding the coffee cup and the sentiment “a birthday brew just for you”. Then, I stamped all of the other mugs floating around Newton filling in the background.
I colored and shaded all of the images using a variety of Copic Sketch markers. I also added some dots and details to the mugs using a white gel pen.
This awesome stamp set will be available on September 25.
Enjoy the video!
