What's the scoop? IPC 101

Happy Monday!

Welcome to a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!

I hope everyone had a great time playing along with challenge 100!

This time we have a color challenge.

What is Red, Pink, Lime Green and Brown

ICE CREAM!

It has been blazing hot in Texas, and ice cream has been on my mind constantly.

The Summer Scoops Stamp Set is the perfect for this card.

Coloring should never be stressful, so I just had fun coloring MY ice cream.

I challenged myself to use ONLY the challenge colors on this card.

This made color placement very interesting.

I ended mapping my colors out a couple of times before

I had the color story I was looking for.

Once all the ice cream was colored in, I turned my attention to the background.

This was created using the Bokeh Stencil and Twisted Citron Distress Ink.

I keep adding ink to circles and stencil till I got the correct color match to my ice cream.

Keeping with the circle theme, I stamped my sentiment on a circle of white cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed my take on our challenge theme.

Now it is your turn, use the link in the challenge picture above

To show us your creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a lovely week.

Mice of You IPC 94

HELLO EVERYBODY!

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

We have some AMAZING colors for you to work with!

Keeping it simple this round.

Using the NEW Garden Mice Stamp Set!

As always, lets start with the background.

Using the Bokeh Stencil I inked up some white card stock with Cracked Pistachio Distress ink. 

I started very light with the ink and worked my way up to the color that I wanted.

 I taped off a portion on my stencil with blue tape and added in my blue circle strategically where I wanted them using Broken Glass Distress Ink.

 

Next, I stamped and colored my mouse, making sure that

 the pink in the flower stood out against my background.

While my image was drying, I die cut out my background using 

the Scalloped Edge Die from the Framework Die Set

and attached this to a card base.

I attached my mouse the the front of my card using 

foam tape and created a sentiment banner using the small banner

from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

This is MY take on this fun color challenge!

Now it is your turn, what will you create?

Use the link in the challenge picture above to show us.

Thanks so much for dropping by.

Easter Bookmarks. IPC 93

Hello Everyone!

Just in time for spring we have an AMAZING challenge for you!

March is already here, Easter is just around the corner.

With that in mind, I came up with this quick and fun idea

maybe for an Easter Baskets or just fun surprise.

When I first saw the Easter Pile Up Stamp Set,

this was the first idea that came to my mind.

This project starts with the base of the tag.

 In my case, these tags are cut from heavy cardstock

using my Silhouette Cameo.

Using the Bokeh Stencil Set, and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

 I created background texture on the blue cardstock.

Changing things up a bit, I embossed my sentiment on the tags next.

This allowed me to see how much room I had left to

 place the “grass” and image the bottom.

Next, I stamped and colored the CUTE images

from the Easter Pile Up Stamp Set.

These bookmarks are going to younger kids, so I choose VERY bright colors.

My “grass” come from the Sea Borders Die Set.

The grass is die cut out and inked in with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.

I assembled my bookmarks and added a handmade tassel.

Now it is your turn!

 Get the bright colors out and your favorite Newton’s Nook Stamp Set

and show us your version of Spring!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have an amazing week!

Hugs
