Inky Paw's Challenge 144 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Using the above sketch, I came up with fun card.

OK! I been really into stencils lately.

  Using ALL my scrap paper up has been a goal of mine for a while.

Stencil are a quick way off getting down the pile real fast!

Such was the case with the background for this card,

The Bold Blooms Stencil and some leftover orange card stock,

add some Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Ink and a card was born!

I had just enough of my stenciled image to die cut a 

square that fit perfect inside the Frames Squared Die Set.

This stenciled image and leftover yellow card stock makes the base of my card.

When I think of Flowers I also think of Butterflies, so the 

Monarch Stamp Set was a natural choice to be my featured element of the card. 

I colored the butterfly to make sure that it pops against the bright orange background.

 My final touch for this card is to create two banners using the Small Banner 

from the Frames and Flags Die Set. MY GO TO die set for all things banner related.

I adore this banner and it is the perfect size for my sentiment.

 And that is MY take on the challenge sketch.

Now it is your turn.

Show us your take on this fun challenge.

Have a Mice Day IPC 95

Time for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!

We have a such fun sketch for you to play with.

OK… full disclosure. I did have to stare at this sketch

for a while to figure out how to work with it.

I stamped out and colorized the mouse from the Garden Mice Stamp Set.

 That is when the whole card came together.

I love the way the flower color came out, so I decided to

base my colors for this project on this flower.

I went into the paper stash came out with this amazing patterned paper for the background.

I also matched burnt orange and sand colored cardstock to go with the patterned paper.

With the paper choices made, it was all about the assembly.

The sand colored cardstock was cut out using the

Large Postage Edge Rectangle from the Frameworks Die Set

The inside element printed paper was die cut from the Curved Edge Rectangle

 from the Frame and Flag Die Set

Burnt orange cardstock became the across element behind the banner.

The main element is piece of white cardstock that is hand cut into a banner.

When I assembled the whole card, I thought the white banner

was just… plain!

Then I noticed the flowers on the printed paper closely matched

the flowers on the Bold Blooms Stencil.

 I ran the banner and stencil thru my die cut machine using

my embossing pad and was very happy with the results!

 For a final touch, I added twine and a tag with my sentiment to the top of the banner.

I had a blast figuring out all the different elements of the card.

I am SUPER excited to see what everyone is going to create with this sketch.

Thanks for dropping by.

Have a great week.

Think Spring IPC 93

It’s a SPRING theme for the current Inky Paws Challenge!

I just love spring!

This is my first spring in Texas, I am excited to see

all the wildflowers that are starting to appear.

With all this color in mind, I came up with this card.

The feature of this card is a stamp from the

 Loads of Blooms Stamp Set.

If I could ride a bike, this is how I envision myself.

Pedaling down the street with a basket full of flowers.

I kept the colors cheerful and bright.

For the background,

 the Bold Blooms Stencil was my choice.

Just an extra pop of flower to make this card complete.

Now it is your turn.

You have one more week to show us your version of Spring!

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs
