Inky Paws Challenge #193 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 your NND products with the theme--Spring.


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


Springtime wishes by Diane features Tulips, Basketweave, Oval Frames, and A7 Frames & Banners by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #tulipcards, #cardmaking
Diane Morales' pink basket-weave background (Basketweave stencil) with the scallop-edges (Frame & Flags die set) makes for a soft, pretty backdrop for her yellow tulips (Tulip stamp and coordinating die set). The vellum oval (Oval Frame die set) provides a subtle layer. Diane stamps her sentiment on a round-corner rectangle using a die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. An elegant way to celebrate spring!



Amy Tollner celebrates spring with this darling mini-slimline (Slimline Frames and Portholes die set) card featuring the cutest orange tabby from the Newton's Birdhouse stamp and coordinating die set. Her pastel cloudy sky (Clouds stencil) makes for a perfect setting for all the birds and butterflies (Newton's Birdbath Stamp and die set) to flutter about.  Her green grass was cut using the Land Borders die set with little flowers from the Destination Love stamp and coordinating die set



Claire Lamb's mice filled card will have you smiling in a heartbeat!  She uses all four mice from the Garden Mice stamp set. Don't you love how she stacks them?!  She lightly distresses some clouds in the background using the Clouds stencil and creates a pretty carpet of grass for them to romp on!  Eeek!  So cute!



Thanks a bunch by Crystal features Frames Squared, Dainty Daisies, and Love & Chocolate by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #daisycards, #springcards, #floralcards, #cardmaking
Crystal O. Minkler celebrates spring with this bright, floral card featuring daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls heart and plaid papers from the Love & Chocolate paper pad that adds a playful touch. She sets everything atop a square card base using dies from the Frames Squared die set. So lovely!



Debbie Owens is back using the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set. Her card this week features a more CAS style. She makes an oval frame (Oval Frame die set) with lavender polka-dotted paper from the Springtime paper pad. She stamps her sentiment (Floral Roundabout stamp set) on a decorative square (Frames Squared die set). A cute, fun way to send thanks to someone!


I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 17, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
