Inky Paw's Challenge 153 - Sketch Challengre

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge?

Check out this challenge!

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

It is summertime and Newton Spends his time at the shore collecting sea shell.

I love the way the background of this card came out and it was so easy to do.

I started off with the Seashells Stencil, tapping this down to some white cardstock.

I used Broken China, Milled Lavender, Sun Sugar ,

and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink.

I never have a plan, I just inked till I liked what I see.

I also sprayed on white Perfect Pearls that I had in a Mini Mister       

                                      

Since, the background needed time to dry, I turned my attention to the rest of the elements.

The banner element is from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

I inked this up using Milled Lavender Oxide Ink.

For the square element, I chose a square die from my stash

and using masking paper I just masked off a circle.

I used Broken China Oxide Ink and when the ink was dry,

I just removed the mask and stamped on my sentiment.

Now to assemble the card.

Using the Large Scalloped Rectangle Die from the Frames and Flags Die Set

I die cut out my seashell background.

Next, I added on all the sketch components.

Finally, I added on my featured stamp Newton’s Seashell.

I also added the waterdrop details that comes in the Stamp Set and some bling.

That completes my take on this sketch challenge.

What will you create using this fun sketch?

Emboss It - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

This week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

EMBOSS IT

Featuring products by WOW Embossing Products

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

But… If you have some of their product in your stash,

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

 

I wish that I could say that I planed out this challenge in detail…. NOPE.

This one happened quite organically.

 All started by when I decided to swatch out the 

WOW embossing powder for this challenge.

Those colors are

Bang

Jealous Guy

And Love is the Drug

I grabbed a sheet of white cardstock and my

 Distress Embossing Dauber by Ranger Ink

I love this embossing ink because it works well with all powders, has

that cool dauber head, and it smells like Hot Tamales candy.

I did a quick swipe of the embossing dauber, added powder and heat set.

I liked the results so much that I decided to swipe a second set.

That is when it hit me. This would make a great card!

But how to finish it?

I stared by turning the card into a base using 

the Stitched Rectangles Dies by Simon Says Stamp.

 I knew that I wanted a larger sentiment something die cut.

Rummaging thru my Simon Die collection, I chose the

 Sending Smiles Word and Shadow Die by Simon Says Stamp.

With all this color, black and white was the way to go for this sentiment.

After die cutting out my sentiment, I got ready to assemble my card.

Using Black Black8 Card Stock by Simon Says Stamp I created

a card bottom and attached the front of my card.

I adhered my sentiment together, popped it onto some fun foam,

and added that over my embossed card front .

Finally,  I added a bit of sparkle with silver sequins from the

Rainbow Wishes Sequin Pack by Little Things from Lucy’s Cards. 

 And that completes my take on EMBOSS IT

Inky Paw's Challenge 152 - Color Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

A color challenge is a favorite of mine.

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

Let us talk about the star of this show the Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set.

Growing up in California this is an iconic image, the endless summer.

I chose to put down the first layer of the stencil, offset in the background of the card.

My color choices,

Festive Berries, Kitsch Flamingo, and Scattered Straw Distress Ink

I inked up the stencil from the bottom up.

Where the colors meet, I blended them in softly.

! THIS LAYER OF INK MUST BE DRY BEFORE YOU ADD ON THE NEXT STENCIL !

For my palm trees I made the bold chose of going with Black Soot Distress Ink.

I held my breath while inking on the part of the stencil,

one wrong move and I was starting from the beginning.

All is well and I love the pop of black on the bold challenge colors.

As the background was drying, I turned my attention to

my featured stamp from the Kitten Beach Stamp Set.

I colored in my stamped image with the challenge colors and gray for the kitty.

To finish my card, I added on a sentiment, and adhered

my kitty to the front of my card with fun foam.

That completes my take of the challenge colors.

What will you create using these fun colors?

Hello Sunshine - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

We are saying HELLO SUNSHINE

Featuring stamps and dies by SUNNY STUDIO

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

But… If you have some of their product in your stash,

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

\

It is July that means it is time for Santa to enjoy the last 

moments of vacation before heading back to the North Pole to get ready for the holidays.

I used to tell this story to my kids when they were little and is the idea for this card.

this card is started by stamping and coloring the Santa from 

the Surfing Santa Stamp set by Sunny Studios

I thought this was a good idea, because this would be using the obvious 

summer colors in the background, and I wanted Santa to stand out.

My next step was to sort out the color order of the paper I was using from the

Sunny Studio Classic Sunburst 6x6 Paper Pad.

Since the paper pad is 6x6 that limited the size card I could make.

I went with 3 ¼ wide so that I could use the Box Card Boarders Wafer Die by Simon Says Stamp.

I love this die! Using the Dark Blue Diamond Paper and the w

ave edge die I create an ocean for Santa to surf.

The yellow sunburst paper became a background.

The orange sunburst paper and my Nesting Circle Dies created an endless summer sun.

As I was assembling the card, I realized there was no place for my palm trees.

No problem, an extra piece of Neenah Desert Storm Card Stock sprayed 

with Picket Fence Distress Spray and the wavy Box Card Boarders Wafer Die, made a cute beach for my palm trees.

To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment on my sun and 

embossed with white embossing powder.

Assembled my background beach scene to a card base made

 with Banana Yellow Card stock and added in my palm trees.

Finally, I attached Santa to the front of my card with fun foam and adhered on the drops of water.

 And that completes my take on HELLO SUNSHINE

Inky Paw's Challenge 152 - Color Challenge

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge?

Check out this challenge!

 and here is my take on the challenge.

A lot of people do not buy themes stamp sets, after the holiday is over what do you do with it?

That is not the case with Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set.

The images on this stamp set are so cute they could be used for other events.

Here is how I started my card.

The Slimline Frames & Portholes Die is the card base.

I just ran the die thru my die cutting machine with white card stock.

For the inside portion of the die, the portholes, I cut out with off-white card stock.

This gives a little contrast on the card and makes the card not so white.

Using two of the challenge colors and the NEW Fireworks Stencil

 I inked up a background for the portholes.

White card stock and the color choices of Festive Berry and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide.

That left the yellow challenge color.

I used this color for the wagon and fireworks.

I added a contrasting blue color to make my challenge colors pop.

To finish my card, I assembled my card together, created a sentiment 

and finished off with some sparkly flair that come from the 

Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set.

Now that my card is done it is time to show us your take on this fun challenge.
