Inky Paws Challenge - Color Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Check out these challenge colors!

Using the Ghost Stencil and the challenge colors I came up with this slimline card.

I started my card by picking Distress Ink that best matched the challenge colors.

Using the Ghost Stencil, I just stared inking in the ghosts from light to dark.

 I kept blending in color till I got an even amount of the challenge

color and a slight blend between each color.

It did take me a few tries to get the color mix I was looking for,

 be patient when blending, you will get there.

Next, I turned my attention to the base of the card. 

I used the Large scalloped slimline frame from 

the Slimline Frame and Portholes Die Set.

I wanted the ghosts to stand out, so I decides to use black for most of the card.

Using the Land Boarders Die Set I created a front plate for my sentiment.

My sentiment is part of the Halloween Trio Die Set as well as the bats

that I added on to create some depth on the card.

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

along with the sketch and GET CRAFTY!

Candy Corn Shaker IPC 106

Happy Monday!

We have a new challenge for you

to get your Paw's Inky. 

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE

CHALLENGE!

IT’S HALLOWEEN THEME!

 I used the CANDY CORN STAMP SET

and created this fun shaker!

I had so much fun crafting this shaker,

 I forgot to take “how to” pictures.

 OOOPS!

I can tell you that I created the inside background     

by just stamping my candy corn on to white cardstock

and heat setting with clear embossing powder.

I colored my candy corn in with sharpie

 to get a nice bold color.!

I die cut all my pieces and assembled my shaker.

For those of you that have never created a shaker card,

Just type “creating a shaker card” 

in the YouTube search bar.

This will bring up a ton of fun videos 

for you to check out.

For a finishing touch, I add the sentiment from the HALLOWEEN TRIO STAMP SET

Some extra candy corn, and 

a touch of ribbon finishes this project!

I hope this inspires you to get spooky

 and show us your Halloween crafty ideas.

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Fun IPC 105

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

Here is a refresh of the challenge sketch.

For my interpretation of the sketch,

 I jumped right into Fall with a Halloween Card!

The featured Stamp Set for this card is

HALLOWEEN TRIO

I kept “Winston the Pumpkin” in traditional orange.

Since it is a Halloween Card, I went bold with my

color choices for the other two trick or treaters!

To finish the card, I created base for my card with

 the outer scalloped edge from the FRAMES AND FLAGS DIE SET.

and the inner scalloped edge die from the FRAMEWORK DIE SET.

I added some interest with black polka dotted paper

and a black and white bow.

To add to the Halloween fun, I added on some bats to the top of the card.

I hope this inspires you to have some fun with the challenge sketch.

I cannot wait to see what everyone creates!

Thanks for stopping by.

Boo a card for you! IPC 83

Welcome to a NEW Inky Paws Challenge.

What a fun sketch we have for you.

Since it is still October, I decided to keep the Halloween fun happening!

Using the Halloween Trio Stamp Set, and the sketch above I created this card.

The background of this card is quite simple.

Tumbled Glass Distress Ink is smashed into white cardstock and dried with a heat gun.

Next, I created the background grass using the Land Boarders Die Set.

The grass is die cut out, covered with a generous amount of Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.

The ink is quickly dried with a heat gun, and then water is dropped on it to create texture.

Next, The Halloween Trio Stamp Set is stamped out and colored in.

I die cut out my images and attached them on top of the grass with some foam tape.

Using the bats that come with the coordinating dies for the Halloween Trio Stamp Set,

I die cut out some bats out of black cardstock and attached to the top of the card.

Finally, I stamped “Happy Halloween” on the card.

I hope this inspires you to create your own project and 

share it with us using the challenge picture above.

Thanks for dropping by.

Have a wonderful week.

Hugs
