Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Claire Lamb plays with the Newton Rides West stamp and die set (retiring, so grab your set fast!) to create this fabulous western scene.   Her beautiful sunset and sandy desert ground, dievcut using the Land Borders die set, provide a wonderful backdrop for the horse-ridin' kitten!  She uses one of the speech bubbles from the  Speech Bubbles die set for the second circle of the sketch!  

 Debbie Owens uses coffee-themed papers for the rectangular elements of the sketch. She pulls the coffee-lovin' kitten in his big mug from the Newton's Mug stamp set for a circular element.  She, too, pulls a speech bubble for her second circle die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. The little cat face on the mug and glossy accents are purr-fect touches for added interest!

Diane Morales stretches the sketch into a slimline card. She uses the scallop-edged die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set to create her sky scene.  She uses the Sunscape stencil for the sun and rays. She adds some fluffy clouds using the Sky Scene Builder die set.  Newton from the Cosmic Newton stamp and die set looks fabulous in his lavender rocket ship!  Diane uses sentiments from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set. She finishes with some shimmery white stars!  

Sue T. creates a beautiful thank you card loaded with yellow roses!  She outlines the roses from the Heartfelt Roses stamp set in yellow and die cuts using the coordinating die from the Heart Frames die set.  She adds the roses from the Roses stamp and coordinating die set and colors them in shades of yellow.  She stamps the sentiment and die cuts using the rounded banner from the Banner Trio die set. The yellow polka dotted paper adds even more cheerfulness to this beautifully designed card!

Amy T. creates this sweet card filled with spring flowers!  She uses the Petite Flowers stencil to create the pastel flower panel paired with glitter panel for a wonderful backdrop.  She uses the Circle Frames die set to create her two circular elements.  She uses the Hills & Grass stencil to distress the grass on the large circle before adding the sweet fawn from the Woodland Spring stamp and die set. For her scalloped-circle she adds the floral sprigs, also from the Woodland Spring stamp and die set.  She pulls a sentiment from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp set, and butterflies from the Newton's Picnic stamp and die set.  Wonderfully designed!

Use the above sketch.

Inky Paws Challenge #142 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 watercolors!

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

Diane Morales heat embosses the full-front image from the Caffeinated Cats stamp set in white and uses a trio of watercolors to create a colorful backdrop.  She uses the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. For her center piece she die cuts a scalloped circle using the Circle Frames die set and adds the darling tea-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Mug stamp and die set. The white embossed sentiment really stands out against the red mug!  Tea-riffic!

 

Sue T. uses her water colors to create layers of clouds from the Sky Borders die in the pattern of a rainbow!  This colorful setting is perfect for her darling unicorn from the Believe in Unicorns stamp and die set to play amid!  Unicorns and rainbows make for a magical combination!

Amy Tollner's brilliant and bold watercolor background is truly amazing!  She adds glittery stars and specks of gold to turn her sky into the Milky Way.  She adds three images from the Cosmic Newton stamp set and cuts using the coordinating die set. Doesn't Newton look spectacular in his green spaceship while his friend spies on the astronaut floating through space?  By using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, Amy is able to capture the full scene grounded by using the Land Borders die set.  

Claire Lamb's splash of bright yellow watercolors is a perfect backdrop for this hungry kitten looking for a snack.  That naughty kitten is from the Newtons' Picnic stamp set and cut using the coordinating die set.  Claire's fabulous coloring and the addition of those little ants makes for a bright, fun card!  Dig in, indeed!

 Debbie Owens brings us a tropical delight beginning by using watercolors with the Waves stencil for a watery effect. She then die cuts using the Sea Borders die set to create some waves for the sweet whale from the Tides of Love stamp set.  In the background, she has created a sunset using watercolors with the silhouette of an island and palm trees from the Paradise of Palms stamp set in the background. She uses the small, scallop-edged die from the Framework die set from Kraft card stock to frame her scene.  A sweet way to send some love!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 26, 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!

Crystal Komara showcases the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set by coloring them in yellow and blue.  Her trio of scalloped frames and the yellow polka-dotted paper pulls the colors together wonderfully.

Diane Morales has a sweet spring take on the sketch. She creates her scene using the Land Borders die set for her grass and the Fence die set for her background. She adds a bunch of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set on either side of the mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. The scallop-edging was made using the Frames & Flag die set. Sweetness!
