Hoppy Easter Everyone! IPC 120

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

Here is the current challenge!

Here is my take on the challenge.

It all starts with the background.

I used the Plaid Stencil Set and the unusual choice of black and white.

On top of that I used the scalloped edge of the

Frameworks Die Set and white cardstock.

Now for the color!

I die cut an egg shape out of carstock from my Silhouette Cameo.

 Using the Mountains Stencil and Pickled Raspberry Distress Ink

I decorated my egg.

Not wanting to go with traditional “green grass”, 

I using the Land Boarders Die Set and blue cardstock.

This was also a great place to add on my sentiment.

With Easter around the corner I just HAD to use the Hop into Spring Stamp Set

 Bright spring colors for the egg was a must!

I hope my project brings a little joy to your day.

Times are hard right now; keep you chin up we will get thru this.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

 Hugs

Many Thanks! IPC 112

Who’s ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!

Yes folks, create some snowy fun!

Check out my project!

It all started one evening when I was up in my crafty space.

I was messing around with the Evergreens Stencil.

 Just using scraps of leftover paper and color plucking whatever ink

 I grabbed from the ink drawer.

I ended up choosing a gray scrap and

Black Soot Distress Ink.

I inked out the trees and loved it.

Then I got an idea to make it even more awesome!

I made a quick mask for the trees.

Using the Petite Snow Stencil and Simon Says Stamp 

White Pigment Ink, I stenciled on some stars in the background.

The Penguin Pile Stamp set is my featured image.

Muted wintery colors are what I chose to color in my

 penguins with in keeping with the snow theme.

My sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

This is embossed onto the front of my card

with white embossing power.

Using the Mountains Stencil, I turned the stencil upside down 

and using the same pigment inks as before.

 This created the snow drifts at the penguin’s feet.

I had an awesome time creating this project!

My favorite part is the use of

 unconventional colors for a holiday card.

All by accident!

I hope this inspires you to mess around in your crafty space 

and see what you can come up with

 using the challenge theme!
