Crystal's FAVE

Becky's vibrant colors really caught Crystal's eye!  The fun striped paper and bright rectangles make a  wonderful background for the bunnies from the Bitty Bunnies and the the Hop into Spring stamp set. The little flowers on the bunnies'ears are so cute!

Debbie's FAVE

Dayna A.'s taco cat card won over Deb's belly...um...I mean eye! She uses the little taco image from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and the flowers from the Cultivates Cacti stamp set to create some custom pattern paper. A brilliant way to use those little stamps in your sets.  Then there's her taco-lovin' kitty from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and coordinating die set.  So fun and festive!

Diane's FAVE

The CAS style of Dandi93's card stood out to Diane.  On a shimmery lavender card base, she adds four panels complete with birthday elements from the Newton's Christmas Cuddles (retired) stamp set for the row of gifts, the Winston's Birthday stamp set (retired) for the balloon, and the Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set for kitty, sentiment, and party hat. Such a cute card and combination of birthday images!

Amy's FAVE

Kathy K.'s water-lovin' puppies won over Amy's heart!  Her pretty, water-color ocean background is a perfect setting for the little corgis from the Corgi Beach stamp and coordinating die set.  A fun summer take using the Inky Paws sketch!  (Now if summer will only arrive!)

Claire Lamb's speckled pink background sets the stage for the duo of kittens hiding in the flowery pot!  Those sweet kitties are from the Newton's Blooms stamps and coordinating die set. Don't you love how Claire stamps the outline in pink for added texture?  Cute!!!

Crystal Minkler's clean, crisp card is just so pretty! Her CAS design uses the Sky Borders die set for her white puffy clouds and the Framework die set for her postage-edged frame. She adds green grass using the Land Borders die set. Her stars, in their white fur coats, are the rabbit and lamb from the Spring Pile stamp and coordinating die set. Crystal adds a subtle pops of pink and lavender on the accessory elements.  Wow!

Debbie Owens creates a shimmery blended background with scalloped-edges (Slimline Frames & Portholes die set) that goes wonderfully with the cute critters from the Hop Into Spring & the Newton's Flower Garden stamp sets. The little splashes of greenery provide a nice contrast for this sweet card!

Inky Paws Challenge #143 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'a a refresher.

Create a project using the colors:

Use  yellow, purple, white, and spring green.

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

Sue T. designs this bright, cheerful filled with flowery happiness!  She stamps her birthday sentiment from the Uplifting Wishes stamp set on her subtly embossed card base then die cuts a semi-circle out using the scallop-edged die from the Circle Frames die set. On the inside of the card, she has strategically stamped and colored the image from the Floral Roundabout stamp set in yellows and purples with a splash of green foliage.  She ties everything together with the mouse holding his giant daisy from the Garden Mice stamp and die set.  Doesn't he look adorable with all those gorgeous flowers behind him?  Fabulous job, Sue!

Amy Tollner showcases a trio of bunnies in her sweet Easter Card. Uses a combination of dies from the Slimline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die sets to created her layered card base.  Her use of the glittery green card stock adds a perfect amount of shimmer!  Adding some purple splatters for added texture, she adds two bunnies from the Bitty Bunnies stamp and die set and adds little purple flowers taken from the Woodland Spring stamp and die set.  Her third bunny in his sweet lavender watering can is from the Hop Into Spring stamp and die set. She uses the ticket die from the Framework die set to stamp her sentiment. She distresses it in lavender for an added pop of color!  Delightful!

Claire Lamb uses the newly released Slimline Masking Circles and Squares stencil set to make this delicious and refreshing card. She uses the ombre technique in purple for her trio of squares and adds white splattering for added texture.  She then adds a pair of lemons from the Lemon Twist stamp and cuts using the coordinating die set.  She sprinkles in some zest and some white flowers to complete this fabulously designed card!

 Debbie Owens goes for total cuteness with her card. She uses the Frames Squared dies set for her card base and scalloped layer.  She then colors the rain boots purple and adds little white dot to them. This image is from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set.  She adds the little frog from the Newton's Rainy Day stamp set for a bit more cuteness!

You can almost smell the coffee after looking at Diane Morales card filled to the brim with coffee goodness!  She begins using the Mugs stencil. She uses a distress oxide ink over her purple background. She continues by stamping the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp on a white circle and filling the heart in with lavender.  She then adds the duo of mugs shaded in the challenge colors and cut using the coordinating die set.  The coffee beans to the side of the mugs adds a fun touch!  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 12, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
