Inky Paw's Challenge 169 - Think Spring !

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Check out this fun challenge!

For the next two weeks we are thinking about SPRING!

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Hummingbird Stamp Set (flower only)

Petite Flowers Stencil

A7 Frame and Banners Die

Spring Roundabout Stamp Set (sentiment only)

When I think of think of Spring the first thing that comes to mind is flowers.

All the pretty colors that I will soon be looking at.

To start this card, I stared thumbing through my stamp set and seeing what sparked my interest.

I came upon the Hummingbird Stamp Set and the very funky flower that is in that set.

This gave me the idea to use this flower with bright bold color.

I stamped and colored the flower several times to give me lots of choices for this card.

But how to complement the flower was the next challenge.

I knew that I wanted to use the A7 Frame and Banners Die, but what colors?

I started pulling out cardstock to see what would match and settled on the unlikely choice of gray.

The gray just brought the colors of the flowers to life.

To make the card front, I die cut out all the pieces of the A7 die twice.

Once in gray and once in white card stock.

 I used the Petite Flowers Stencil with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide

 and stenciled up each window insert that I had die cut in white.

To assemble the card, I created a card base with white card stock.

I glued down the frame of the A7 die and then glued in the window inserts I has created.

Next, I added on the flowers that I die cut out.

To finish out the card I create a place for my sentiment using one of the banners in the die set.

And that completes my take on this challenge.

Now it is your turn!

Easter Lily and Spring Colors IPC 119

We are at the halfway point of the current

Inky Paw’s Challenge!

Here is the current challenge

I used these beautiful challenge colors and I created this card.

In the background is the NEW PETITE FLOWER STENCIL using the challenge colors.

On top of background is the Frame with the scallop on the inside

from the FRAMEWORKS DIE SET.

inside the frame is the EASTER LILY’S STAMP SET and sentiment

I made this card for my dad.

A little story. I am VERY allergic to Easter lilies.

I can not even be in the same room as these lilies they affect my breathing.

When I turned 50 years old, my dad came over with a huge bouquet.

He had totally forgot I had this allergy, he just being an awesome dad

bring his daughter a bouquet of flowers.

Not wanting to sadden my dad, I left the flowers in the house thru my birthday party.

By the end of the night I was wheezing.

Every time I see this stamp set, it will always remind me

 of my dad and the night, I almost died on my birthday.

 Miss you dad.

 I love you very much!

In these unusual times make sure to hug your love ones.

Don’t forget to spend some “YOU” time.

Send a card to a friend

We are all in this together.

Have a great week.

Hugs
