Inky Paws Challenge #73 Winner!

We've chosen one RANDOM winner using random.org to receive a $20 Store Credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Maria creates this charming card using the raccoon from Campfire Tails (retired). Instead of the raccoon holding a bag of chips, Maria has him holding the fun heart. The wood grain background give the card a nice "forest" feel.

Zsofia's FAVE

Candice's princess card is just precious!  The sheer curtains framing the castle scene from Once Upon a Princess stamp set is so charming. Using the buttons as curtain tie backs is such a clever idea!  

Andrea's FAVE

Milene's die cut background and coloring make for this delightful card. Newton from the Newton's Naptime stamp set looks like he is enjoying some much deserved sleep. The splattering of buttons provides for fabulous accents. 

Debbie's FAVE

This sweet scene by Cindy showcases this sweet deer from the Deer Friend stamp set.  From the leaves peeking in at the upper corner to the little buttons at the bottom, Cindy's card is fabulously designed. 

Diane's FAVE

Sue uses buttons as center pieces to her snowflakes that she created using Snowfall stencil. Her soft coloring of Newton from the Newton's Holiday Mischief stamp set looks spectacular. To finish her card, she uses a sentiment from the Sweater Weather stamp set

Emily's FAVE

Irene creates her own buttons by making the scarf knots into faux buttons!  Her sweet coloring of all those snow people from Frozen Fellowship stamp set makes for such a wonderful winter card!
