Merry and Bright IPC 86


Welcome to the second half of the current Inky Paws Challenge.
Here's the challenge sketch for you to check out.


This sketch is so much fun, but I might have gone overboard with this one.

Merry and Bright a card by Diane Morales | Petite Snow Stencil by Newtons Nook Designs

This card starts with the background.
Using the Petite Snow Stencil and some texture paste on white cardstock.
When that was dry, I taped off some lines with blue tape and 
applied Black Soot Distress Ink over the top of it


The first set off “stripes” I dried with a heat gun and then
 taped off the center to create the smaller stripes.
Holding my breath for this part, I inked in the center part of my stripes.
With the background done and drying, I turned my attention to tag on the front of the card.
The background “hills” is vanilla card stock and the Sky Boarders Die Set.
Die cut out two “hills” and layered the “hills” on top of each other over some white cardstock.
I used the tag from the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set, die cut everything out together.
Attach those “hills” directly onto the tag, leaving a little space in between for my trees.
The trees come next, using the Forest Scene Builder Die Set.
Using three of my favorite bright colors stamped out the trees, 
die cut them out and attach them to the front of the tag.


Time to add the snowman. He comes from the Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set
Keeping with bright color theme, I chose red for the scarf.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the 
Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set on the front of the tag.

The only thing left to do is attached the tag to the front of card.
For some flair, I added Nuevo Drops to the trees and the background behind the snowman.

YEP!  There is a lot going on this card but…
It’s just SO MUCH FUN to mix and match dies and stamps up.
I hope this inspires you to MIX IT UP.
Don’t forget to link up your project using the link in the challenge picture.

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a wonderful holiday.

Merry Christmas Tag IPC 85


Welcome to a NEW Inky Paws Challenge.
Check out these fun colors we have for you to work with.

Using the Forest Scene Builder Die Set 
and the challenge colors I came up with this tag.

Merry Christmas Tag  a Tag by Diane Morales | Forest Scene Builder Die Set by Newtons Nook Designs


Color challenges are the best! So many ways to use the colors.
I decided to start with a black and white color first.
I grabbed an oval die and some black and white paper from my stash.
The idea was to create a forest scene in the center of this pattern paper.
Once I cut out the oval Center, I got some heavy white cardstock and
my Land Boarder Die Set to create some hills.
I also use the Petite Snow Stencil to create a background.


A note on this, I did not run my stencil through Cuttlebug correctly.
Unfortunately, you cannot really see the pattern once it was photographed.
I decided that my group trees just need to be green, so I selected three
colors of green cardstock and I cut out my trees.
I assembled all of this on my tag and got ready to add my sentiment.
The red portion of my tag is pattern paper cut from the banner
portion of the Frames and Flags Die Set.



I use the sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set.
I also die cut out one of those cute birds from my pattern paper
 and added that to my trees.

I love the Forest Scene Builder Die Set.
The trees are the perfect size for cards and tags.

I hope this inspires you to take some time and create something.
Don’t forget to share with us at the Inky Paws Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
