Inky Paw's Challenge 197 - 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.

Gull Friends

Sunscape Stencil Set

Sea Boarders Die Set

Waves- Shark Bites Stamp Set

Sentiment – Beach Bound

 

For my take on this challenge, I decided to use the challenge colors for a fun seaside shaped card.

I started this card by using the Sunscape Stencil Set.

I taped the stencil onto white card stock and inked up the yellow sunshine.

With a strip of blue cardstock, I used one of the dies from the Sea Boarders Die Set

To die cut some waves for the bottom of my card.



I wanted to add interest to my blue wave bottom so using the water stamp

from the Shark Bites Stamp Set I stamped on water ripples.

To make my shaped card I lined up my sunshine background

with the waves at the bottom inside a Basic circle die.

I taped everything down and ran everything through my die cutting machine.

This created the start of my card front.

I also used the same basic circle die to create my card base.

I started to assemble my card by gluing my card front to the base I created.

Next, I lined up the waves at the bottom with my stenciled sunshine and glued the waves down.


I stamped colored and die cut out my image from Gull Friends.

I added the seagulls to the front of my card with foam tape.

I used an off cut of my die cut waves to cover up the bottom of the pilings

To complete this card, I stamped on a sentiment from the Beach Bound Stamp Set

To the sunshine on my card front

This completes my take on this challenge.

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

Inky Paw's Challenge 196 - Birthday 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.

Newton’s Cupcake

Cupcake Stencil Set

Oval Frames Die Set

For the second half of the challenge, I have a fun shaped card.

This card is created with a background I created over a year ago!

Like all crafters I go through phases. One evening I just wanted to create backgrounds.

I sat and worked for many hours with my Newton’s Stencils and just inked up paper.

When I was finished creating, I placed all the backgrounds in a box and well… just forgot I had them.

Flash forwards a year or so and I am unpacking the new studio.



I open this box and all the backgrounds that I forgot about just waiting to become something fun.

This background with pink and brown cupcakes using the Cupcake Stencil Set

 stood out the most and gave me an immediate idea!

First, I created a base card with matching pink cardstock and Oval Frames Die Set.

I also die cut my chosen cupcake paper to be my card front.

Second, I stamped, colored, and die cut out Newton’s Cupcake.




I decided on teal and blue as my contrasting colors.

Third, I added my image to the front of my card with foam tape.

The super cute party hat add-on was necessary!

Finally, I touched up the sprinkles on the cupcake with gel pen.

I also glued on pink gems to add some sparkle.

This completes my take on this challenge.


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

Inky Paw's Challenge 196 - Birthday Theme

 

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.

 Summer Scoops

NEW Quatrefoil Stencil

Frames and Flags Die Set


 Hello everyone!

Here with you today to share a card for the start of our newest Inky Paw’s Challenge.

I started with the background for this card with a 5x8 piece of white cardstock

I taped the Quatrefoil Stencil to half of sheet. (4 inches)

Using some of my favorite Distress Ink colors, I inked up the stencil.

After removing the stencil and letting the ink dry, I lined up the stencil

to the upper black half of the cardstock. I used a rubber mat and ran

 the stencil and paper through my die cutting machine.

This created the cutest embossed top with an inked up lower half.

(of course I forgot to take a picture when creating this)


  

Centering the die on the two different sides I cut out the front of my card.

My stamped images on this card are from the Summer Scoops Stamp Set.

I colored in my images using colors that match the

background with pops of green, purple and red.

To assemble the card, I die cut a banner from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

I stamped on a sentiment and added a bit of gray around the edge.

I placed the sentiment banner on the card front first.


Then, I placed the other stamped images around the banner with foam tape.

To finish this card. I used the large, scalloped rectangle

from Frames and Flags Die and created a card base.

I also used my Shimmer pen on the images to add

 interest when the card catches the light.

This completes my take on this challenge.

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