Inky Paws Challenge #207 Reminder

 

Don't forget - 
There's still time to play along with our 

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  
Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge

Here's a refresher.


Use the above sketch with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!


Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 


You're the spice in my cider by Danni features Oval Frames, Framework, Autumn, and Autumn Apples by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #applecards, #autumncards, #fallcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Danni Bindel selects complimentary papers from the Autumn paper pad to coordinate with the mug of hot spiced cider from the Autumn Apples stamp and the coordinating die set. She continues by using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set on a mustard-colored card stock.  She stamps her sentiment on a stitched oval using the Oval Frames die set.  The combination of colors and patterns is a perfect mix to celebrate autumn!


You're electrifying by Debbie features Frames & Flags, Framework, Halloween Meows, Canine Christmas, and Franken-Newton by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #catcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Debbie Owens is sharing two cards using the same papers with two very different themes.  She is using the purple striped paper from the Halloween Meows paper pad and the green hounds tooth paper from the Canine Christmas paper pads. After cutting her diagonal strips, she uses half of them on her Halloween card which features the feline monster from the Franken-Newton stamp set. She uses a combination of dies from the Frames & Flags die set and the Framework die set. Now take a peek of how she uses the other half of those diagonal strips.
Grateful for you by Debbie features Frames & Flags, Framework, Halloween Meows, Canine Christmas, Chrysanthemum, and Fall Roundabout by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #floralcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Her second card has a more autumn feel with the lavender mum from the Chrysanthemum stamp set. She  uses the Framework die set, and a sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set.  What a great way to use up those strips of paper for two uniquely different cards!

Happy Halloween by Amy features Halloween Meows, Halloween Woofs, Oval Frames, and Spooky Street by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Amy Tollner picks a trio of papers from the Halloween Meows  paper pad and the Halloween Woofs paper pad that gives her card a very scary vibe. She then white embosses some spooky eyes and sentiment from the Spooky Street stamp set on a black oval (Oval Frames die set).  Don't you just love all those scary eyes looking at you? Love it!

Sending you sunshine wishes features Rainy Days Doxie and Spring Bloom Oval by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcard, #cardchallenge, #cardmaking
Claire Lamb uses the challenge sketch for a more soothing card with her diagonal stripes mimicking the colors of a rain shower. Enjoying his time in the rain is our darling dachsund from the Rainy Days Doxie stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls her sentiment from the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. A wonderful card for friends in the Pacific Northwest!

Have a be-witching good time by Crystal features Witchy Newton, Halloween Meows, Oval Frames, and Spiderweb Oval by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #catcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Have a be-witching good time by Crystal features Witchy Newton, Halloween Meows, Oval Frames, and Spiderweb Oval by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #catcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Crystal Minkler delights us with another Halloween card. Crystal selects papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad with her sentiment stamped on ovals created using the Oval Frames. She continues the fun by adding the little feline in her boot from the Witchy Newton stamp and coordinating stamp set for the inside of her card. She creates a fun sentiment using stamps from the Spiderweb Oval and the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set.

Amy then adds a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set) with the image from the Signs of Fall stamp and coordinating die set set a top it.
