Inky Paws Challenge #111 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Sketch Challenge

Create a project using the sketch.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

The black and white gingham background created with the Gingham stencil provides a fun background to Debbie Owens' winter-themed card.  Using a combination of dies from the Framework die set, the Frames & Flags die set, and the Frames Squared die set, Debbie adds layers in garnet and olive green for the sketch elements. She then selects the kitten peeking around the snowman image from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set and colors it in grays, greens and reds. A fun winter-themed card!

Diane Morales creates this fabulous tag that could also be used as a tree ornament!   She selects a fun striped pattern paper for her background before adding the banner and green foliage die cut using the Autumn Leaves die set. Her focal point is the the red ornament with the bold sentiment using the Ornament Shaker die set and the Ornament Wishes stamp set.

Sue T. captures the spirit of Thanksgiving in this fall-themed card.  Her pumpkin-filled background was created using distress inks with the Pumpkin Patch stencil. Sue then uses the Frames Squared die set to create the card base and golden-yellow layer. She then stamps and colors the image from Fall Fringe stamp set and adheres over her green banner. The raccoon in the vegetable crate from the Harvest Tails stamp set takes center stage!  A wonderful way to celebrate bounty of fall.

Becky Noelle's sweet nutcracker card will have you squeaking with delight with her spinner card!  She begins with a pale textured background using the Petite Snow stencil. She creates her "stage" by using a die from the Frames Squared die set and adds dark red curtains to the sides. Using the ballerina mouse from the The Nutcracker Squeak stamp set, she creates the twirling ballerina as her spinner element. She adds two more mouse images to the side of her stage. To tie it all together, she embosses the sentiment from the Newton's Christmas Kittens stamp set in white on a black banner that she places above her stage.  {Sigh!}

Bobbi Lemanski creates a pretty, traditional  holiday card by creating a wreath in light and dark green pine branches using the Pines and Holly die set. Inside her wreath she adds the Season's Greetings sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set.  She elegantly displays her wreath on a layer of golden-shimmer card stock and a dark green base. The banner of ribbon and holly berries are beautiful touches to this gorgeous card.

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 29, 2019 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!

Inky Paws Challenge #107 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Color Challenge

Create a project using the colors--Moss green, Orange, 

Chocolate Brown, and Ivory.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge.  

Diane Morales uses a simple splat technique using the moss green and orange colors of the challenge to create a soft background on which she adds the grass using the Land Borders die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Garden Mice stamp set on her grass. She selects the sweet mouse hiding behind a mushroom as her focal point. This sweet fellow is from the Garden Mice stamp set.  Diane also adds a couple flowers from the same stamp set to finish this beautiful card.

Sue T.  brings us a square card featuring the acorn laden mouse from the Autumn Mice stamp and die set.  She softly colors him in grays. Don't you love how she colors the acorn in the moss green?  So fun.  For her card base, she uses the Frames Squared die set in Kraft paper. She adds a moss green scalloped-edged layer on which she adds the Fall Fringe stamp image.  She uses the circle die from the Frames Squared die set and stamps the sentiment.  She pops the circle and her mouse with dimensional tape.  Seriously cute!

Becky Noelle uses distress inks to blend a soft ivory background with a splattering of brown. She then uses two of the darling mice images from the Autumn Mice stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment in dark brown.  Becky's CAS style showcases this stamp set spectacularly!

Bobbi Lemanski creates a spectacular background in the challenge colors using watercolor paint in orange and moss green.  She splatters some brown and ivory "confetti" which gives the card a fun, festive look!  She hand draws the grass then adds the trio of chickens from the Cluck stamp set with an orange balloon from the Delightful Doxies stamp set.  She adds a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set. She finishes her card with the birthday sentiment from the Cluck stamp set. 

Little autumn mice make Debbie Owens' card very nice!  Debbie starts with a burnt orange card base on which she adds some jute twine. She then stamps the autumn border using the Fall Fringe stamp set and colors in various shades of the challenge colors. She adds a brown mat and adheres to the card base.  Using the Autumn Mice stamp set, she selects two mice images. After coloring she adheres with dimensional tape. The sentiment was heat embossed in a dark brown using the Autumn Mice stamp set.

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, October 4, 2019 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!
