Inky Paws Challenge - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

 

Using the challenge sketch, I came up with this card.

When I am not sure what I want to do, I always fall back on making a shaped card.

It will most likely be round because I love anything round.

Inspired by all the falling leaves around me, 

I knew that wanted to use The Autumn Leaves Die Set

But how to put it all together?

I started die cutting A BUNCH of leaves with some off-white card stock.

What goes good with off-white card stock… Kraft Card Stock.

Kraft card stock became the base of the card.

I absolutely love the Circle Frames Dies.

I die cut out the Scalloped Circle and started layering the leaves on to that.

Once the leaves were all glued down, I turned my attention to creating the banner.

Using the Land Borders Die Set I die cut off my 1^st section of my banner.

Check out the picture below to see how I cut

the second piece of the banner so that they fit together.

For my final touches I stamped out my image from the Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set.

I colored her in with my alcohol markers.

I also used a sentiment from the Fall Roundabout Stamp Set

  that I carefully stamped onto my banner. 

I hope this card inspire you to use your favorite Newton’s Nook Stamps

along with the sketch and GET CRAFTY!

Hedgehog Hello IPC 81

Hello everybody!

It's time for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!

It's all about the best time of year!  

FALL

I love the Fall time.  The cooler weather and all the pretty colors that surround me!

With that idea in mind, using the Hedgehog Hollow Stamp Set and the 

Autumn Leaves Die Set, I came up with this card as inspiration.

I love the Autumn Leaves Die Set, these leaves are so much fun to cut 

out and make the perfect bed for my cute hedgehog!

The colors for fall are well defined, so I decided to add some flair with the use of blue leaves.

For the Hedgehog I colored in a couple of them. 

The first hedgehog colored I used mostly brown colors.

I did not like the way that image came out. Way to matchy- matchy.

The second coloring of the hedgehog I used orange and 

rust colors and the added on the brown tones.  

These colors came out much better and gave a definition to the image.

In retrospect, I also should have gone with my idea of coloring the acorn in yellow tones.

I think that would have added a bit more POP to the card.

You know what they say "always go with the first idea".

Now that I am done with my project, it is your turn.

Let’s see what you can come up with using a fall theme 

and your Newton Nook Stamps or Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
