Inky Paw's Challenge 176 - Color Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

 Using the challenge colors, I came up with this card.

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

Purr-maid Newton

Waves Stencil

Sea Boarders Die

With these colors I wanted to inspire you to do something unexpected.

I went thru my Newton stamp draw and came across the Purr-maid Newton.

Something just clicked in my head “Blue Cat”.

Mermaids come in different colors… right!

I stamp out my purr-maid and colored one blue in the challenge colors

and the other purr-maid with red accents.

Super excite for how cute the purr-maids turned out, I turned my attention to how to finish this card.

I thought that I stenciled background was the best option and decided on the Waves stencil.

I wanted to keep the background easy and stenciled dark blue ink onto blue cardstock.

The colors did not stand out as boldly as I wanted them to.

Next, I tried and old technique, I stenciled on the blue cardstock

with Versamark ink and heat set with clear embossing powder.

The clear embossing powder lifted color off the card stock and created a light blue wave.

This created the bold look I was looking for in the background.

As I was staging the card, I noticed that I did not have enough white on the card.

I used the Sea Boarders die to create a white wave area at the bottom of the card.

This also became a great place for my sentiment.

To finish my card, I added on some of the fish from the die set.

Also, I got out my bucket of Stickles and glittered all the Purr-maid parts and the fish.

I hope this inspires you to try out this fun challenge.

Inky Paw's Challenge 153 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge

Using the challenge sketch, I came up with this fun card!

First, let’s talk about the Buns Out Mini Stamp Set!

Could this be any cuter and fun?

This card was the first idea I had for this stamp Set.

Of course, it all starts with the background.

I love a shaped card and this one I created by

 using the Frames Squared Die Set to create my card base.

I also die cut a separate piece of cardstock to be the card front.

Creating that card front was easy!

The Waves stencil, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.

Taping the stencil down to the card front and I inked up the stencil till

I got the right amount of colors in my waves.

I also added a bit of “edge” using the Salty Ocean Distress Ink.

I put the card front aside to dry and turned my attention to all the

 components that are going on top of the card front.

A natural choice to go the Buns Out Stamp is the Sky Scene Builder Die.

I die cut the sun from the set and using my Spectrum Noir markers colored the sun in.

I also die cut out clouds.

On one of the clouds, I carefully stamped my sentiment.

I also added a bit of gray shadow so that the clouds will stand out from the background.

To create the background, I simply used the  Decorative Square

 in the Frames Squared Die Set and white cardstock.

It is on the square that I stared to build the center element of the sketch.

I started first with a banner from the Frames and Flag Die Set.

Using my markers again, I colored the banner a bright orange.

Finally, came all the other elements, moving things around

 until I like the placement of everything.

For the burger and the sun, I added foam tape.

Once everything looked good, I glued everything down

and added my card front to the card base.

my take on this challenge sketch was done.

Now it is your turn.

Take the challenge sketch and show us your take.
