Summertime Fun IPC 103

Happy Monday!

Welcome to a NEW inky Paws Challenge!

We have the perfect challenge for summertime!

One of my favorite things to do during the summer

 is to float around the ocean on a raft

 then, have a nice lunch with friends.

 So, I decide to make that fun into a card!

 

LOTS of fun elements going on here

So, let’s start at the top.

FLOATY GOAT is the name of the stamp set.

He is floating on waves created by the

SEA BOARDERS DIE SET

Behind him is the bright yellow sun created by using the

SUNSCAPE STENCIL

Our friends from the WOODLAND PICNIC STAMP SET

are relaxing on the shore that was created

 by using Distress Oxide Ink and the

LAND BOARDERS DIE SET.

I had a blast creating my perfect summer day.

I hope this inspires you to play along with our current challenge.

Mice of You IPC 102

We are at the halfway point of the current 

Inky Paws Challenge!

Here is the challenge sketch!

I decide to go bold for this project!

Let’s break down the elements of this project.

To create the background, I used the

CLOUDY SKY STENCIL

 I used Versamark and clear embossing powder to create my clouds.

After the clouds are heat set and cooled,

 I added A LOT of Salty Ocean Distress Ink

over the top, blending in my ink till I got the layers just right.

My card base also features the CLOUDY SKY STENCIL,

which is embossed onto white cardstock.

My peek-out element is the

SEA BOARDERS DIE SET

My featured image and sentiment are from the

GARDEN MICE STAMP SET.

I had a lot of fun creating this one to share with you!

I cannot wait to see what everybody creates using this sketch.

Thanks, so much for stopping by.

Have great week.

Mermaid for Each Other IPC 102

Happy Monday!

Welcome to a new INKY PAW’S CHALLENGE!

Check out this fun sketch we have for you to use.

Summer is here, so I decided to go in a beachy direction.

This card all starts with the background.

I used 3 types of Distress Oxide Ink and spattered them on a paint pallet.

Spray on a little water, and smash down your precut cardstock onto the ink.

Make sure you dry your inky creation with a heat gun right away

to keep the colors from over blending.

While that was drying, I turned my attention to my purr-maids form the

Purr-maid Newton Stamp set.

I stamped and colored my images in using matching colors from the background.

I kept the background elements simple; die cutting out 2 rectangle panels.

One of the panels, I embossed with the

 Tumbling Hearts Stencil.

The second panel I inked in with Abandoned Coral Oxide Ink

Then layer the two elements on top of each other.

A splash of a different color and the bottom element.

was provided by the seahorse and sentiment from the same stamp set.

After I assembled all the elements for the card, I used one of

my favorite crafty items….. EVER!!! Frosted Lace Stickles

This Stickle adds a whole lot of sparkle without

taking away from the color underneath.

That is my inspiration for this sketch.

Here is the crafty aftermath of this card!

Now it is your turn!

Don’t forget to link up your creations

Picnic Time IPC 101

We are at the halfway point of the current Inky Paws Challenge.

Check out these colors!

 

Using the challenge colors I came up with this card.

I used Kraft cardstock and the large scalloped rectangle die from

the FRAMES AND FLAGS DIE SET to create the base for my card.

My background grass come from the LAND BOARDERS DIE SET.

On top of that I used images from the WOODLAND PICNIC STAMP SET

colored in with Distress Ink.

I felt my scene needed a little extra of the pink challenge color,

so, I decided to add some Butterfly’s from the

BITTY BUNNIES STAMP SET

Just a simple fun card!

Now it is your turn!

What will you create using these fun colors?

Have  a great week!
