Inky Paw's Challenge 154 - Use Stripes

 Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

For my take on the challenge, I went a bit outside of the box.

I made underwater stripes!

This is way easier than you think.

I used the Hills and Grass Stencil and

Prize Ribbon, Salty Ocean, and Salvage Patina Distress Ink.

Stencil are so much fun! I just love to sit down and ink them in

different ways to see what I can come up with.

I started at the top of my card front using Prize Ribbon.

Please note: I was not paying attention and started by using the stencil upside down.

Not wanting to start over I just rolled with it.

Once that section was inked, I used Salty Ocean ink to clean up the edges.

Next , I flipped the stencil over to cover up what I inked and create the white layer.

Another note: I used blue tape to cover the bottom ”grass” portion of the stencil.

I inked up a small top edge of Salvage Patina then I flipped

the stencil again and inked up a bottom edge of the strip.

Flipping the stencil once more I used the Salty Ocean ink to clean up the edges of the stripe.

I repeated the process till I got to the bottom of the card front

and finished the bottom with Prize Ribbon Ink again

To Finish the card front, I sprayed water on the ink and let the ink migrate

to those great droplets of texture, we all love.

While the background was driving, I stamped and inked up my Scuba Newton Stamp Set.

I got a whole lot of blue going on, so I used colors that would stand out.

With the background now dry, my sentiments got stamped directly on.

To finish my card, I Placed Scuba Newton on the card front with fun foam,

added on some fishes and created a card base.

 

This completes my take on our stripe theme

Deepest Wishes IPC 121

How is everybody doing in the current state of crazy?

Take some time and play along with the current Inky Paws Challenge.

 I have not had a lot of time lately to be upstairs in my crafty area.

I work for a grocery chain, and most of my time is being spent at work.

I came up with this simple but fun card sure to brighten up anyone’s birthday.

The start of my card is the color smash background.

This is simply Tumbled Glass Distress Ink that is smashed onto white cardstock.

On top of that I stamped on my sentiment from the Scuba Newton Stamp Set.

The I added Newton and the underwater elements 

that I colored in using bright tropical colors.

I add on some sparkle using Moon Dust Stickles Glitter Gel to finish this project.

Make some time and play along using the link in the challenge picture above.

I hope you and your family are doing well.

Be safe everybody.

Sending love from a distance.

Seas The Day IPC 103

I am having a BLAST with the current Inky Paws Challenge

Since the days have been blazing hot here in Texas,

staying indoors and crafting is definitely an option!

 I used some of the NEW Newtons Nook Collection to create my card.

Starting with the background

Not one but TWO of the new stencils were used.

Clouds Stencil

And

Waves and Splashes Stencil

I started at the bottom to create my “Sandy Bottom Club” for my shrimp.

The lighter of the Distress Oxide Ink goes down on the paper first,

and then I highlighted with the darker color.

Once I had the shading that I wanted for my sea bottom,

I grabbed the Waves and Splashes Stencil

and turned my attention to the top.

Placing the stencil slightly over the bottom part,

I used my lighter Distress Ink color first and started to create “waves”.

 Ink blending my “waves” in with darker Distress Ink to outline the shape.

The lower “wave” I chose to keep the white imprint.

The upper “wave” I inked in with color to create some depth.

My featured image and sentiment come from the 

Scuba Newton Stamp Set.

The shrimps in the “Sandy Bottom Club" are from the

Shrimp Cocktails Stamp Set.

What a perfect pair to use on a card!

I hope this card inspires you to take some 

time and create card to share with us!

There is a link in the challenge picture above.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great rest of the week!

Hugs
