Inky Paws Challenge #110 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Colors Challenge

Create a project using the colors--teal, green, pink, and white.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Bobbi Lemanski has a special talent of hand drawing her backgrounds. This beautiful square card features a wintery scene filled with birch trees. In her foreground she adds glitter card stock for her children to sled on. Those amazing silhouette children are from the Winter Memories stamp and die set. Bobbi selects the perfect as she has captured the magic of the season in her card!

Debbie Owens is back with another flamingo-themed card. This time it's for Christmas! She creates the background with the scallop-edged frame using Frames & Flags die set. She then stamps the flamingo images from the Festive Flamingos stamp set in different directions multiple times. She adds the scallop-edged tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set with a very tired sloth from the Slothy Christmas stamp set dreaming of a pink Christmas.  The dream bubble is from the Speech Bubbles die set and the little flamingo is from the Cozy Campers stamp set.

Diane Morales brings us this delightful card.  Her teal background filled with the fluffy heart-shaped clouds (Tumbling Hearts stencil) makes for a wonderful background for the cute little pig from the Oink stamp and die set.  She die cuts this background with the Frames & Flags die set to give it the scallop edges. Using the Land Borders die set, she creates rolling hills for the little guy to play on.  She finishes by stamping the "Hogs & Kisses" sentiments!

Sue T.'s card is filled absolute sweetness. Beginning with a pink card base, she adds the white scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set) and cuts a large circle out. She pops this layer with dimensional tape. In the circle which is also popped up, she adds pale green trees using the Forest Scene Builder die set. Her pale teal sky is dotted with snowflakes from the Sweater Weather stamp set. The ballerina mouse from the Nutcracker Squeak stamp and die set takes center stage! Adorable!

Becky Noelle creates a more traditional Christmas card by stamping and coloring poinsettias in all four corners of her card. The amazingly colored flowers are from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp set. Don't you love the touches of teal that Becky adds?  She then die cuts the sentiment in dark pink using the Holiday Greetings die set. Elegant and festive!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 15, 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

Diane's FAVE

Lucie wows with her great use of colored pencils. She colors two ice-cream loving kitties from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp set and adds a soft blue background to showcase them. So sweet!

Emily's FAVE

Heidi's collection of paradise cards with their vibrant sunset and beautiful waves are spectacular! She uses a combination of inks to create her backgrounds and uses the Paradise Palms stamp set to create those fabulous silhouette trees!

Sue's FAVE

Who wouldn't want to dive in to Candice's scrumptious sundae? Those rays of sun draw the eye to the yummy-looking sundae from the Summer Scoops stamp set.  The pastel blue polka-dotted pattern paper frames everything very nicely!

Becky's FAVE

Dawn pulls out the beach colors to give us this holiday surprise! She colors her flamingos from the Festive Flamingos stamp set orange and adds purple scarves and hats.  She white embosses her sentiment on a black banner and stamps a striped trim on the edge.  She finishes it off with those cute footprints and sequins. 

Debbie's FAVE

Milene's beach background created using textured embossing powder is the purr-fect setting for her sweetly colored kitty from the Aloha Newton stamp set. She embosses her sentiment on a black banner and has a wide, white border to frame everything.
