Inky Paw's Challenge 200 - Color Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.


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

Dainty Daisies

A7 Frames and Banner Die Set

Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates

Banner Duo Die Set

This is kind of a literal translation of the challenge picture.

To start this card, I used the A7 Frames and Banner Die Set.

I die cut a piece of bright green and a grass green card stock from the large scalloped edge die.

Next, using heavy weight white cardstock I created a 4x6 card base.

I glued the frame die to the front of the card, leaving some

white space around the edge, and then glued in the inserts.

I placed a stamp block on top to make sure that everything dried flat.

 To create the flowers, I stamped and colored the daisies

from Dainty Daisies, using the rest of the challenge colors as a guide.

Once the daisies were die cut out, I added them to the front of the card with foam tape.



A bright bold card like this needed a special sentiment.

I used the Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and gold foil.

I die cut this banner with Banner Duo Die Set



The banner is glued to the front of the card with foam tape.

To finish my card, I added dots from my gel -pens to add some dimension to my daisies.

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

Inky Paw's Challenge 200 - Color Challenge


Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.



Here is my take on the challenge.



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

Succulent Garden

A Cats Life 6x6 Paper Pad

Frameworks Die Set

Bookmark Die Set (banner)

Fancy Edges Tag Die (bonus Project)

This idea came from a trip to home depot.

When you go into the succulent area, they always have those “colored” cactus.

I always thought that this would be a great idea for a card.

With Succulent Garden I can make this card happen.

For the card front I used green polka dotted paper from A Cats Life 6x6 Paper Pad.

A quick run through my die cutting machine with

 the Frameworks Die Set and I have a card front for my succulent card.

I stamped A BUNCH of succulents.

A whole 5x6 sheet of them (that I forgot to take a picture of)

I used the same style and changed the color to match the challenge color.

Once everything was colored in and die cut out, I stared to mock things up on the front of my card.

But first, I need a sentiment.

I used the banner from the Bookmark Die Set

I stamped on my sentiment of choice and placed this on the card front first.

Next, I stater to layer everything around the banner

 making sure to add some height with foam tape.

To finish this card, I created a simple card base to fit behind my card front.

I also added some green enamel dots to the front.

I was not quite done with this project just yet.

I had so many stamped succulents left to use.

I pulled out my tag stash drawer and rummage around for

 a couple that matched the challenge colors.


I stamped sentiments on to the tags first.

Then layered the remaining succulents on the tags.

A few more enamel dots to the front and my second project were complete.

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

Inky Paw's Challenge - Rainbow Theme

 


               Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.



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

Love and Chocolate

Petite Snow Stencil

NEW Banner Duo Die Set

Oval Framed Die Set

Inspiration in crafting comes from everywhere.

It this case it came from a box of chocolate matcha macadamias

 that my son brought back from Hawaii.

Those yummy green chocolates sent me down rabbit hole for this card.

First stamped out all the chocolates I wanted to use.

Next, I label everything for color and colored it in the chocolates.



After die cutting everything out,

I build my pile of chocolate on a strip of paper attached to the display base.

This strip of paper gave me the ability to layer one piece on top 

of the other and create a nice pyramid.

To create the card base I took inspiration from the oval display stand

 and used the scalloped oval from the Oval Framed Die Set.

To add interest to the card front, I used the Petite Snow Stencil

and Lost Shadow Distress Ink. That little bit of gray helps to pop the colors on the chocolate.

For the banner I used the NEW Banner Duo Die Set.

I heated up my foiling machine and using one of the dies I foiled on a bit of gold.

Once cooled, I stamped on my sentiment.



I hand cut around the foil banner and folded the banner to fit the front of the card.

I assembled my card base and adhered it to my stenciled card front.

My stacked-up chocolate was added to the front of the card with foam taped.

I also added on the banner to the front with foam tape.

To add a bit of sparkle I added matching petite gems.



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