Inky Paw's Challenge 183 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

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

Candy Corn

Trick or Treat Kittens

Oval Frames DieSet

Halloween Meows 6x6 Paper Pad

Using the Sketch theme, I created this card.

 

I LOVE CANDY CORN!

To start this fun card, I started with a standard card base.

I cut down a piece of the candy corn paper to fit on the front of the card.

I also used striped paper from the Halloween Meows 6x6 Paper Pad

to create the hand cut banners behind the oval.

Next, I stamped a bunch of candy corns from the stamp set.

Once everything was colored in, I decided on what I was going to make my tag from.

I ended up using the mini scalloped oval from Oval Frames Die.

My sentiment come from the Trick or Treat Kittens and goes so well with this card.

Once the sentiment was stamped on my oval, I added on as many candies as I could.

I also poked a hole in on end and add a bit of twine

I finished my card by gluing down my hand made banners and gluing my oval on top.

Foe a final touch, I grabbed matching Stickles and add some sparkle to my candy

 

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 159 - Sketch Challenge

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge?

Here is my take on this challenge!

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

Trick or Treat Kittens

Argyle Stencil Set

Frameworks Die Set

Frames Squared Die Set

Slimline Frames and Window Die 

I always keep a stash of backgrounds in a basket in the drawer

 of my desk for when I am feeling less crafty.

These are things I create kind of like crafty homework.

 I create these backgrounds not for a project, it is just to mess around and freestyle, no agenda.

Going thru this basket  I found this cool background. I am not sure when I created it.

 I know that I used the diamonds from the Argyle Stencil Set . (I put a note on the back)

I thought this would be a good place to start for this card.

The goal is to let the candy corn color colors of this card front show thru as much as possible.

That is why I decided to use a  1 1/4 in strip of vellum for the 1^st element.

You can tell it is there, but the vellum does not take away from all the lovely color the back.

The 2nd element had to be the frame with the outside scallop from the Frameworks Die Set.

I used black card stock to make it stand out and add a bit of texture to the card.

Next, I added a leftover offcut square of white card stock from 

the Slimline Frames and Window Die.

This is where my colored in Halloween kitten will be added on with foam tape.

Next, I used the large circle from the Frameworks Die Set and stamped on my sentiment.

To finish my card, I added on some candies from the Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set.

I also created a card base for my card with some matching card stock from my stash.

This completes my take on our sketch challenge.

Now it is your turn.

Take the challenge theme and show us your take.

Inky Paw's Challenge 156 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

 We have a FUN sketch challenge for you to work with.

Is it me? Or did summer just fly by so fast.

So much for endless summer, but…. that means that it is time for

My FAVORTE time of year Fall/Halloween

FAIR WARNING!

From this moment on there is going to be

a lot of Fall and Halloween coming your way.

Starting with this card.

Since I am still not felling 100% yet after catching Covid.

 I knew I had to keep things simple.

When I am lacking in creativity I always go back to my go to,

Black /white/ and a pop of color.

To start my card front, I built a card front using white cardstock and the

 Large Postage Edge Rectangle from the Frameworks Die Set.

I also went into my paper stash and chose a piece of black and white patterned paper.

(Creepy Confections by My Favorite Things)

I die cut out my paper together so that everything would line up.

I chopped off half of the patterned paper to create the bottom of the card.

I am not good at using ribbon on card so to create the across element on the sketch

The Sky Boarders Die makes perfect scallops 

along with lilac card stock from my stash.

My featured stamp set is the Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set.

I stamped out my images including a whole bunch of the little candies.

The long candy I colored like Smarties and the round candy like those

sour candy my kids liked when they were little.

I just wanted everything to be fun and colorful.

To finish this card, I stamped on a sentiment on the front of the card.

I was in the middle of deciding my placement of all the elements on the card when

I realized I did not like the background. There was something just off.

Since my head is still in a covid fog, I came up with

a simple solution, another scallop made with black cardstock.

This simple addition put in the extra flair I was looking for in the background.

For final touches on this card, I created a card base with black cardstock.

I got all the placement of the elements that I wanted on the front of the card,

And attached all that cuteness to the front with foam tape.

 This completes my take on our sketch challenge.

Now it is your turn.

Take the challenge theme and show us your take.
