Blue Sky Again IPC 119

Who’s ready for a new INKY PAWS CHALLENGE!

This challenge is a favorite of mine!

COLOR CHALLENGE!

Ok the rules are simple.

 Grab you favorite Newtons Nook Stamps

 use the colors in a creative way.

Here is my take on the challenge!

Newton fans know the UMBRELLA PALS stamp set has been out for a while.

I have had this idea in my head for that long!

When I saw RAINDROPS STENCIL

Idea complete!

I chose the bear umbrella, because in my mind bears can be

ANY color, like a Care Bear.

I already knew I wanted the background to be lilac and blue.

That left the pink and yellow color for the bear.

Just kept the coloring simple.

Using the RAINDROP STENCIL and Distress Oxide Ink I inked up my raindrops.

I purposely kept my edges lighter to have a faded look.

Kept it simple by stamping my sentiment on the front.

I placed my card on a base that was die cut from the

FRAMES AND FLAG DIE SET.

When I finished, I took a good look at my card

and decided it was too FLAT.

I grabbed my bottle of Glossy Accents and coved

 some of the drops around my umbrella.

And that completed my inspiration!

Now it your turn!

How will you use these great colors?

Share My Umbrella IPC 73

We are at the half way point of the current Inky Paws Challenge.

Using the sketch and the Umbrella Pals Stamp Set this is what I came up with.

This looks like a complicated card, but it's not.

This card uses embossing powder to create the background.

Embossing powders a lot of fun but it can be tricky to work with. 

First thing I did, was to decide what umbrella tops would look best in the background.

All the umbrellas tops that I chose fit perfectly on the stamp block 

I was using, leaving one which, was the frog umbrella.

I Versamark stamped the umbrellas tops on to black cardstock then 

added the white embossing powder.

I loved the bold look of the background of the card, which 

led me into use primary colors on this card.

The red element in the background is bubbly part of the 

Sky Borders Die Set that die cut out on both sides.

The banners with the sentiments have been stamped

 on is part of the Frame and Flags Die Set.

Now it is your turn! You still time to pull out your stamps and get your paws INKY.

I hope everyone has an awesome week, as always links to the goodies are below!
