Inky Paw's Challenge 194 - Color Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.


For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 Newton’s Easter Basket

Slimline Frames and Portholes Die

Fence Die

The Slimline Frames and Portholes Die is a favorite of mine and this.

die goes well with largest stamp in Newton’s Easter Basket.

I created a card base using the scalloped die from Slimline Frames

 and Portholes Die and pink cardstock.

I splatted Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink on the card base to create interest on the background.

Next, I die cut two pieces of the Fence Die and glued the pieces together.

While I waited for the glue to dry on the fence I stamped, colored,

and die cut my pieces from Newton’s Easter Basket.


I made sure to create extra eggs to cover the bottom of the fence.

I also stamped my sentiment on to a slice of purple cardstock, and hand cut this into a banner.

To assemble my card, I glued the fence down first.

 I added foam tape to the back of the largest image, I placed the banner behind the image,

and balanced the image in front of the fence and attached that to the card.

I added all the eggs around the bottom of the banner using foam tape.

The tweedy birds were added on next.

I completed this card by covering the image a bit of bling from a sparkle pen.

 


This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 194 - Color Chalenge


 Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.


For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 Lovable Llamas

Hills and Grass Stencil

Circle Frames Die Set

Land Boarders Die

 To start this card, I decided that the card base would be created from

 the scalloped circle in the Circle Frames DieSet.

I used lilac cardstock to match the challenge colors.

The inner circle is a nesting circle from my die stash that fit just perfect.

I cut two of the nesting circles out. For one of the circles,

I used the Land Boarders Die and secured it on the bottom quarter

 of the circle with tape and ran this thru my die cutting machine.



I inked on Twisted Citron Distress Ink to turn the die cut green, and then using the

Hills and Grass Stencil I inked on some “grass” using a darker color of Distress Ink.

The other nesting circle I splatted with Milled Lavender Distress Ink.

I also stamped on a sentiment and placed this circle aside to dry.

I stamped, colored, and die cut my pieces from Lovable Llamas.

To start the assembly of my card, I added the splatted nesting circle to the card base.

Next, I lined up my grassy area at the bottom.

I added foam tape to the back of all the images and positioned my stamped images.

 on to my card front one by one checking the placement.

For a final touch, I used some Stickles to add shimmer to the front of the card.



This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 193 - Spring Theme

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.


For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 Tulips

Basketweave Stencil

Oval Frames Die Set

A7 Frames and Banner Die

Frames and Flags Die Set

I started this card by making a card base using the

 Large Scalloped Rectangle in the Frames and Flags Die Set.

To create the card front, I used the Basketweave Stencil

My colors of choice Saltwater Taffy and Picked Raspberry.

With the stencil adhered down to white cardstock,

I blend my colors staring at each end to meet in the middle.

I pulled off the stencil and put the card stock aside to dry.

Next, I stamped, colored, and die cut out the Tulip for the front of the card.


I also die cut out an oval out of vellum using the Oval Frames Die Set.

My basketweave card front is now dry, and I die cut this out using the Large Scalloped Rectangle.

 This is going to give me a nice, shaped card when finished.

To make sure that you can see thru onto the background, I adhered the tulip to the

oval vellum shape first and then used the shadow of the tulip to adhere to the front of the card.

To create the sentiment for the card I used the round banner from the

A7 Frames and Banner Die.

I stamped on my sentiment toward one end and carefully trimmed

the other end of the banner to fit behind the tulip.

I carefully lined up my card front to the card base and glued everything together.

For I final touch I added on some matching enamel dots and added

 a bit of shimmer pen of the top of the tulips.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 193 - Spring Theme

 


Hello Inky Paw’s Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.


For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Captivated Kittens

Gnome Garden Stamp Set

Oval Frames Die Set

Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad 

This card started out as scrap.

I had a bunch of unused card bases that I have had in my stash for a while,

 and bits and pieces of card stock from all my Newton’s Nook Paper.

I started pairing up card with printed paper to see how much I could use up.

I ended up with 25 different card bases that I could us with future projects.

As I was going thru the stack that I created, this card base caught my eye.



The butterfly paper come from the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad.

I just love all the colors.

I knew that I had to use the Captivated Kittens stamp for this card.

Since I already has a card base I stamped, colored and die cut out the kitten I wanted to use.

I created a background by using the small scalloped oval from the Oval Frames Die Set.

 I also hand cut a banner with pink cardstock for my sentiment.

I attached my oval to the front of my card. I placed my banner behind

my image and added both pieces to the front of my card.

I needed butterflies to complete the look.


After sorting thru my Newton stamps, I found the butterflies.

 that match the best in the Gnome Garden Stamp Set.

 I wanted a large selection of color choices so I  stamped,

colored and die cut a bunch of the butterflies.

 

 I chose the best colors for my card,  and added a few to the front.

I also stamped butterflies on the yellow card base.

To finish this card I got out my Stickles and added some bling to the butterflies.

I also added a few gems to draw your eye in.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.
