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!

Flower Power IPC 94

Today starts a NEW Inky Paw’s Challenge.

We have some beautiful spring colors for you to work with.

When I saw these colors, one thing came to mind…. Flowers!!

Using the Flower Trio Die Set.

I created flowers that need no water and stay in bloom forever.

For this project I went with the obvious choices for using the colors.

Green as leaves, white for sentiment, and pink and blue for the flowers.

I die cut out all my flower pieces first, mixing sold and printed paper.

Then, I cut out all my leaves and got ready to assemble.

Using a cake pop stick, I attached my flower to

both sides of the stick using hot glue.

I glued my leaves on next, being very random like nature.

It is important to make sure that everything is dry and cool to 

the touch before you take the next step of gluing the flower into the pot.

In case you are wondering I found the tiny

flower pots in the garden section of Walmart.

Finally, I created my tags for the flowers using the small banner 

from the Frames and Flags Die Set 

and the

 Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

The “dirt” is just cardstock that is shredded.

I am in love with the way this project came out.

The Flower Trio Die Set in the perfect shape flower

and is just the right size for cards as well.

I hope this inspired you to come up with your

 own creation using your favorite Newton’s Nook Stamps

Thanks for stopping by.

Bye for now
