Inky Paw's Challenge 156 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.

In keeping with the Halloween theme, I have a fun shaped card

using some uncommon Halloween colors.

I am in love with the way that the background on the card turned out.

I used gray cardstock and the Flying Bats Stencil.

My ink of choice is Black Soot Distress Oxide.

Since you are using black ink, my suggestion would to be to

use a bit of Pixie Spray on the back side of the stencil.

This will keep the black in from bleeding and give you a crisp stenciled image.

Once the background is set aside to dry, I turned my attention to the

images from the Brooms and Boos Stamp Set.

I stamped out and die cut the bats.

I also stamped and die cut one of the witches.

I love the look of pink and black for Halloween.

I chose several different pink markers and started coloring.

Finally, I was ready to assemble the card.

Using the Rounded Edge Rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set

I created a card front using the batty background I created.

I also created a base for my images to set using black cardstock.

I layered on my witch and bats on the front of the card with foam tape.

It was at this point that I decided this card needed a little bit more.

Thumbing through my Newton Stamp Sets looking for pumpkins I went.

I ended using pumpkins from Paw-tumn Newton and Harvest Tails Stamp Sets.

I added in a splash of color by using traditional orange on a couple if the pumpkins.

To finish the card, I carefully stamp on a sentiment over my bats and created a

card base using a similar rounded edge die from my Sizzix stash.

This completes my take on our sketch challenge.

Now it is your turn.

Time to create a scene with Inky Paws Challenge #130

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!!

Check out this challenge!

With everything going on, I believe that it is important to look forward.

For me that is fall. Not only because it is my birthday time,

but fall and Halloween just make me happy

Check out my pumpkin patch!

For this card I had to create a custom card base.

I wanted plenty of space to work with for my pumpkin patch.

The final size of my card became 5 ½ x 5 ½.

Just a basic background of Distress Ink for this one.

Chose whatever colors you like.

On top of the background I created “grass” with the Land Borders Die.

On top of the die cut grass,

 I inked on MORE “grass” using the Hills & Grass Stencil.

Now to the pumpkins…

They are from the Pumpkin Latte and Harvest Tails Stamp Set.

I also have the fox and sentiment from the Harvest Tails Stamp Set.

For touch of whimsy I add on Newton from

Newton’s Perfect Pumpkin Stamp Set.

AND

one of the owls and branch from the

What a Hoot Stamp Set.

I hope this inspires you to CREATE A SCENE!

Happy Fall IPC 84

Welcome to a NEW Inky Paws Challenge.

For this challenge all you got to do is use a burlap or twine.

Burlap is not something I use in an everyday crafting.

I decided to challenge myself.

Using the Harvest Tails Stamp Set and some burlap I came up with this card idea

.

I had a lot of fun creating this card and it starts with a background.

Using the pumpkin and gourd from the Harvest Tales Stamp Set, 

I Versamark stamped the images onto the yellow cardstock.

I heat set the images with clear embossing powder to create 

my own pattern cardstock for the background.

I die cut out the base shape of my card using a round die that I had in my stash.

Next, I turned my attention to the burlap.

Since burlap is kind of flexible, I chose to glue mine to some cardstock 

and then attached it to the front of the card.

With the base of my card done, I stamp out my images and colored them in with Distress Ink.

I made sure to keep my colors very fall oriented.

With all my colored images dry, I die cut them out and attach those to the front of the card.

When it came to the sentiment I wanted to do something different.

I thought about it for a while and came up with a green apple 

colored banner with embossed white lettering for the sentiment.

The banner comes from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

I love the colors that I used in this card!

Very Fall-tastic!

Now it is your turn!

Dive into your crafty stash, find some burlap or twine and get those PAWS INKY!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great week.
