Inky Paws Challenge #65 Reminder

Don't forget - There's still one week to play along with our latest Inky Paws Challenge!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our Color Challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.  It's a Color Challenge:  Use the colors pink, green, brown, and white.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Diane Morales' shimmering hearts were created using Tumbling Hearts stencil and make for a romantic backdrop to her sweet owls from What a Hoot stamp set.

Emily Lauritzen brings us a beautiful spring design using Happy Little Thoughts stamp and coordinating die set. Her pink backdrop looks beautiful against the dark brown scallop frame (Frames and Flags die set.)

Zsofia Molnar also uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create a subtle background. She then repeatedly stamps a sentiment from Darling Duos stamp set to set the stage for those sweet kitties from Newton's Sweetheart stamp set. What a fabulous combination of products!

Andrea Shell creates a darling scene by combining two stamp sets:

Newton Dreams of Paris and Snow Globe Scenes. I love her pink cloudy sky and how she demonstrates how a holiday stamp set can be used for any occasion! 

Debbie Owens creates a sweet CAS card using this week's colors and Newton's Sweetheart stamp set and Pawprints stencil. The layered hearts and pawprint background are wonderful way to showcase those darling kitties!

Diane Morales gets us ready for Valentine's day with this sweet card featuring  Sweetheart Tails stamp set. Her little strip of hearts adds a perfect touch!

 Emily Lauritzen tropical card featuring the Cocktail Mixer stamp set is a welcome break from all the crazy winter weather!  Those fruity drinks and swirly ocean-colored background may inspire all of us to book that tropical vacation!

Zsofia Molnar combines Once Upon a Princess stamp and die set with the heart and castle background paper making this such a lovely card!  This is going to make a little girl very happy with all the pink and purples!

Andrea Shell's coffee and Valentine's themed card featuring Newton Loves Coffee stamp set is a perfect combination. The pastel colors and little hearts...sweet!

Here's what I created. I used different shades of blue cardstock to create the ombré and cute them freehand with a scissor to make them look like waves.
