Inky Paw's Challenge 148 - Thank You

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

This week we are saying THANK YOU!

  In my house nothing says THANK YOU more than a big cup of coffee!

To start this card, I created a background of using the Mugs Stencil

 and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide.

While I was waiting for the ink to dry, I stamped out my image

 using the Newton’s Mug Stamp Set.

I also used the tiny flower from the Dainty Daisies Stamp Set to stamp inside the mug.

I picked a lovely selection of bright colors for my image to stand out against my background.

Next using the Circle Frames Die, I create a focal point for my card out of matching card stock.

I decided to die cut out the center of the circle.

This gave me great place to place my stamped image and hang my sentiment.

The tiny tag comes from the Tags Times Two Die Set.

The final step to create a card base using matching card stock and attach my

sentiment tag with matching twine.

That completes my take on THANK YOU

Now it is your turn. 

Show us your take on this fun challenge.

Inky Paw's Challenge 148 - Thank You Theme

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge?

Check out this challenge!

This week we have a THANK YOU THEME

For my take on the challenge, I chose to make a Tag.

Tags are so much fun to make.

I need to make more tags!

For the base of my tag, I chose the Fancy Edges Tag Die along with yellow cardstock.

Always on the look out for a new way to create backgrounds,

 I used something unexpected.

the NEW Petite Clouds Stencil and Nuvo Drops.

 I am Using a Deco Foil Stencil Pal for this technique.

The Stencil Pal helps to get the thick Nuvo Drops into all the parts of the stencil.

 Warning! This technique does take a while to dry.

The results are awesome a super cute raised background with great texture.

And… I am using up all those Nuvo Drops in my stash.

To finish out my tag I used the Bleeding Heart Stamp Set.

Bright colors are my jam, and I chose the brightest purple

 and green markers that I could find to color my flowers.

Using the Banner Trio Die, I created a place for my

 sentiment and added that to the front of my tag.

That completes my take on THANK YOU

Now it is your turn.

 Show us your take on this fun challenge.

Stencil It - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

This week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Just STENCIL IT!

Featuring products by PINK FRESH STUDIO

You do not have to use the featured company to join in.

If you have some of their product in your stash?

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

For my card I used the Seamless Floral Panel Layering Stencil by Pink Fresh Studio.

This pack has 5 stencils that are labeled and have registry marks for easy line up.

Let us take this one stencil at a time.

LAYER ONE

I decided on Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink.

LAYER TWO

Versamark Ink and Pink Embossing Powder by Ranger Ink.

LAYER THREE

I decided to get fancy and use TWO colors.

First, I blue taped the areas I did not want to ink up.

 I dabbed on Aged Mahogany Distress Ink to the center of the flowers

Removing the blue tape, I carefully dabbed on Spun Sugar Distress Ink 

to the un-inked part of the stencil.

LAYER FOUR

Salvaged Patina Distress Ink for the leaves

LAYER FIVE

Even MORE Salvaged Patina Distress Ink for the leaves

 The results are AMAZING!

I never used a layering stencil before. This was so much fun and so easy.

To finish out my card I cut down the panel I created to a mini-slimline card.

I added my card front to a card base made with Audrey Blue Card Stock by Simon Says Stamp.

Finishing touches include a sentiment made from the Bold Thanks Wafer Die

and 3 layers of Cream Card Stock by Simon Says Stamp.

A couple of sequins from the Smiles Sequins pack by Simon Says Stamp

added to the front with glossy accents.

                                                       That completes my take on STENCIL IT

I almost forgot the good news!

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away

a FABULOUS $25 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store!

Feminine - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 This week we are putting a Feminine touch on our projects

 at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Featuring products by STAMPENDOUS

You do not have to use the featured company to join in.

If you have some of their product in your stash?

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

MY stamp set of choice this week is the Pop Rose Teacup Clear Stamp by Stampendous.

This huge teacup and floral bouquet are so adorable.

I stamped my images out first and selected my favorite go to colors of alcohol markers.

I kept my coloring simple with light shadows.

This stamp set did not have a die set, I fussy cut out my image.

While my ink was drying, I die cut out a background piece from the Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangle and#120 White Card Stock by Simon Says Stamp.

For a card base I used a lovely yellow gingham piece of Cardstock from

the Spring Fling 6x6 paper pad by Honey Bee Stamps 

and the largest rectangle from the Rectangle Basic Set by Memory Box.

I assembled all my pieces, propping up my bouquet and my teacup with foam tape.

For final touches, I stamped on my sentiment, added on a few white pearls, 

and added on some details with my Moonlight Gelly Roll Pens by Sakura.

Finally, I attached everything to the front of a card 

created with Cream Cardstock by Simon Says Stamp.

 That completes my take on Feminine

I almost forgot the good news!

Inky Paw's Challenge 147 - Sketch Challenge

 

    Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Check out this amazing sketch we have for you.

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

I just love the NEW Gnome Garden Stamp Set.

What a fresh and Fun take on gnomes!

I selected the gnome holding a daisy and paired this gnome with 

the Dainty Daisies Stamp Set.

The Daisy’s make the perfect background element of the sketch.

I keep the card bright and cheerful by using yellow on my daisies.

A bit of Diamond Stickles in the center of my daisies adds a touch of sparkle.

For the across element of the sketch I used the Fence Die.

To finish off my card I created a card base using some Yellow Card Stock 

and the Large Scalloped rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

For a final touch I add on my colored in gnome to the front of my card with foam tape.

That completes my take on the fun sketch

Now it is your turn.
