Inky Paw's Challenge 146 - Color Challenge

 

  Hello Inky Paws Fans!    

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

It is color challenge time!

HERE IS MY TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE.

I just love the color challenge!

 I been on a quest to use up my scraps of paper.

The larger pieces of scraps I been turning into backgrounds.

I used the Plaid Stencil Set for this background.

MY colors of choice were Mowed Lawn and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide.

Once I inked up the stencil on the yellow cardstock an idea for a card was formed.

In my mind plaid = farm = animals.

Newtons Nook has a bunch of cute animal stamp sets to choose from.

I settled on the Bleat Stamp Set.

I colored my goat in a light gray color and added a pop of pink on the collar.

To create a background for my goat I used the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set.

I stamped out my stamp with Versamark and heat set with white embossing powder.

Since I am using the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set,

the Circle Frames Dies are a must to cut out my background shape.

Goats love grass!

I created a base of “grass” for my goat using the Land Boarders Die Set.

I also stamped part of my sentiment on my “grass” with white embossing powder.

 To finish out my card, I attached my Goat onto the front of my card using some foam tape.

Pops of colors were created with flowers from the Bleat Stamp Set.

Finally, I created an orange banner with my sentiment for the top of the card.

That is my take on the challenge colors.

Now it is your turn!

Happy Birthday - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

IT IS OUR 12th BIRTHDAY!!

 At the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 We are celebrating!

with not ONE but TWO prizes this week! And ……

This we are featuring our very own SIMON SAYS STAMP product for the challenge

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.

 I decided to make my Birthday Card a black-tie style

I started with The Thankful Flowers Stamp Set.

I used three colors of my Spectrum Noir markers to create shadow and depth on my flowers.

 

While the ink was drying on my flowers, I turned my attention to the base of the card. 

 I wanted to use as much black as posable, so I decided to break up all that black with texture. For the base of the card, I used the Fractured Background Stamp and clear embossing powder. 

You are not going to see a lot of this background on the card, but up close 

it gives the card recipient just a little something extra to look at.

For the next layer I used the Postage Stamp Edge Frames Die to create area for my sentiment to go, a sentiment from the Sketched Flowers Stamp Set with some beautiful elegant lettering. 

I stamped on my sentiment and heat set with white embossing powder. 

Now back to the flowers, I used the die set for the Thankful Flowers Stamp Set 

to cut two other layers of card stock. 

I chose not to use foam this time because it looked way to bulky. 

Once all the layers were dry, I attached the flowers to the front of the card.

That completeds MY Birthday Card to the Wednesday Challenge.

On a personal note, a huge THANK YOU to The Wednesday Challenge.

Thank You SO MUCH for supporting and believing in this Crafy Girl.

Inky Paw's Challenge 145 - Friendship Challenge

                      Hello Inky Paws Fans!

 We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

          Here is MY take on the challenge.

The one thing that I deeply miss during this pandemic is going to the movies.

That two plus hours of bliss where you check your life at the door 

and just enjoy time with friends. 

For this card I used the Newton’s Movie Night Stamp Set.

Now that I have decided on a brand of alcohol makers that I want to use

I am having a great time exploring color. 

No longer am I scared of stamp sets that look too hard to color.

I had a blast coloring the trio of kitties!

In the background we have the Popcorn Stencil a perfect match for this fun stamp set.

    

To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment in the center and added on some popcorn accents.

                   Now it is your turn!

Show us your take on this fun challenge.

Anything Goes - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

It is ANYTHING GOES TIME

Here at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Featuring PAPER ROSE PRODUCTS

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.

I love stencils!

With a stencil and a little bit of ink you can create a fantastic card.

For my card I used the 6x6 Damask Stencil by Paper Rose Products

My ink of choice is Blueprint Sketch and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide.

I started in the center with the Blueprint Sketch color and the

worked my way to the to edge with the Pumice Stone color.

I adore the dramatic effect of the two colors together.

Always on the quest to try something new, I created my flowers 

by inking up some white cardstock with Blueprint Sketch.

When the ink dried, I used white embossing power and one of the flower

 stamps from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp.

    

 After cutting out the flower, I added a little ink to the edges 

of the flower and buffed the flower with a soft cloth.

This really made the white on the flowers stand out against the stenciled background.

For a finishing touch I added on a Thinking of You Sentiment Strips, some gold Nuvo Crystal drops, and some blue sequins from the mother of pearl sequin pack.

 That completed my take on ANTYTHING GOES

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! 

All you must do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt,

Inky Paw's Challenge 145 - Friendship Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

This time it is all about the friendship.

Here is MY take on the challenge.

I stared my card by creating a background using The Petite Flowers Stencil.

I selected four Distress Oxide colors and just inked up the stencil.

 Once I was sure the Oxide ink was dry, I ran my background thru the die cutting machine.

I used the large scalloped rectangle die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

Nothing gives me the warm and fuzzy friendship feeling 

more that the Smitten Kittens Stamp Set.

I chose the two cozy kittens to be my feature stamp.

Needing a place to put my sentiment I selected one of

the heats from the Hearts Frames Die.

The mini hearts from the Smitten Kitten Stamp Set

 colored in to match the background completes my card.

  that is MY take on the challenge sketch.

Now it is your turn.

Show us your take on this fun challenge.
