Naughty or Nice IPC 61

Hello Everyone!

We are halfway through the current Inky Paw’s Challenge

For the current challenge we have an awesome sketch challenge going on.

For my card I chose to tweak the challenge sketch just slightly and turn it on its side.

The challenge for most card makers is to come up with something new and different.

 I have my own personal challenge, which is to use more printed paper on my projects.

For this card, I started with some gray plaid printed paper from my stash.

 I love the non-traditional color of the paper and chose to create the card around this paper.

 I die cut the paper out with the inside layer of the NEW Frames and Flags die set.

I’m in love with the  Santa Paws Newton Stamp set, 

I would use this set on every project if I could.

Keeping with non-traditional colors, our cute Newton,

 and band of merry mice elves are sporting Green Santa suits.

I added in some elements from the stamp set and a sentiment banner.

I did not want this to be technical card at all. I just wanted a fun layered card!

Thanks for stopping by.

 I hope this encourages you to take some time and get your paws inky.

Have an amazing rest of the year.

All the best

Santa Newton - Inky Paws Challenge 60

HI everyone and Happy Holidays!

We are halfway thru the current

INKY PAWS CHALLENGE

This challenge is all about the sparkle.

Who does not love sparkle in their life?

I know I do, and I have a draw full of glitter to prove it!

I love non-traditional colors for the holidays.

I especially love “Grinch” like colors.

This card started with a background using the

 “Snowfall Stencil”, white paper and some Versamark Ink.

Tape the stencil down to white paper. Apply the Versamark ink,

peel away the stencil, apply clear embossing powder, and heat set.

Next, the background colors. I smashed them down and added just a little water to the ink.

Smash your embossed snowflakes into the color and let that dry.

                                           

When that is dry, I painted on a layer of Glossy Accents mixed

with a TINY bit of water to spread smoothly.

This layer must dry completely!

When that is dry, we add the fun layer.

Take Frosted Lace” Stickles” and squirt it all over the top.

I used my finger to spread it around and cover the snowflakes.

This layer takes AWHILE TO DRY!

While I was waiting, I stamped “Newton Santa”

from the “Santa Paws Newton Stamp set”.

I colored in the image with coordinating colors from my background.

Attached the two together, and I was done!

Now it is your turn to add sparkle to your next project.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you have an amazing week
