Inky Paws Challenge #71 Reminder

Don't forget - There's still 5 days 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:  

Create a project using the colors: 
Green, Orchid, Violet and Periwinkle Blue

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Emily Lauritzen creates this stunning card using Beautiful Wings stamp set. Using the challenge colors inside the heart die cut, provides a wonderful backdrop to the embossed butterfly. The quilted backdrop provides a nice textural element for this fabulous card!

Zsofia Molnar creates this pretty patterned paper using Fanciful Florals (retiring and now on sale) stamp set. By covering the whole panel with vellum, the colors are muted the card giving the card a delicate look. She then stamps the sentiment from Birthday Essentials stamp set directly on the vellum overlay. Just gorgeous!

Andrea Shell features a single lily from  newly released Little Lilies stamp set framed in a scalloped circle. The combination of distressed blue background and soft lavender colors pulls everything together for this elegant card.

Debbie Owens creates a festive background by using the Waves stencil. By moving it slightly each time she changed colors, she gets this fabulous backdrop for Newton from Newton Loves Cake stamp set. To complete her card, she uses the celebrate sentiment from Birthday Essentials stamp set and Frames & Flags die set.

Diane Morales uses Company of Cats stamp set to create this darling card. Her kitties with their soft gray bellies look wonderful in their soft pastel apparel!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, May 11, 2018 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!

Here's some inspiration!

Several of our Design Team Members decided to play along - Remember the colors are just an inspiration - check out all the ways they used them! Read the description below each card to see who made it!

I love the pretty floral card by Lydia! She stamped the flowers from our Fanciful Florals stamp set in the coral, peach, and mint inks and added in the words from the Simply Sentimental stamp set!

Here's some fun inspiration from Samantha! I love how she used the colors to create a fun background and then added black and white roses using the Love Grows stamp set. 

  This card by Yuki also uses the bold flowers from our Fanciful Florals stamp set in the coral with minty colored leaves! I love the added sparkle with the silver letters too! She also used the "for everything" words from the Simply Sentimental stamp set!

Here's an adorable one layer card by Danielle! She used our Flirty Flamingos stamp set, coloring flamingos in shades of coral on a minty background! 

This lovely card by Jess uses our blooms from our Fanciful Florals stamp set in a fun bright bold design! 

This lovely card by Larissa uses our our lovely Beautiful Blossoms stamp set. Love all those pretty layers!

And here's one more card using Fanciful Florals by me - I tried to do color fade from the coral to the mint.  I'm not the best with color blending yet but I think it turned out ok - sort of a "dip died" type of look.
