Inky Paw's Challenge - Sketch Challenge

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge?

Check out this challenge!

When I first saw this challenge sketch, I knew that

I wanted to use the Tides of Love Stamp Set.

I also knew that with my fibromyalgia flaring up I had a limited

amount of time before the pain was going to get to me.

When this happens, I grab a stack of printed paper and see what jumps out at me.

I was struck by some Striped paper by Honey Bee Stamps

and I combined with teal card stock to make the start of my card.

I am not much on traditional valentine colors, so I created 

a teal heart for the front element of the card. 

Using the Bubby Stencil and Distress Oxide ink created some backround depth on the heart. 

I chose the octopus From the Tides of Love Stamp Set and the unusual color of orange

 for my octopus. I love the way it stands out next to red on the hearts. 

To finish out the challenge sketch I created a simple banner with black card stock

 and white embossing powder using a sentiment from the Tides of Love Stamp Set.

That completes my take on this challenge sketch.

Now it is your turn!

Thinking of YOU IPC 76

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

Check out these fun summer colors for you to work with.

Here is my take on the challenge picture.

The start of this card is the background which features

 the Bubble Stencil that is embossed on vellum.

On top of that, is placed the larger Blooms from the Peonies Bloom Stamp Set,

This is minimally colored in just using accents of gray to make the white pop.

The leaves on the flowers are colored in using Twisted Citron Distress Ink.

For the red, I grabbed my Red Berry Nuvo drops and just added dots to the center.

I'm a HUGE fan of this Stamp Set I love the way that the flowers 

look when they're on a card, and this set is awesome backgrounds as well.

Finally, I attached the sentiment to the front of the card using one 

of the banners from the Frames and Flages Die set, that I cut the edges off.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that this encourages you to get YOUR PAWS INKY!

Have an awesome week!
