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

Claire Lamb showcases this daring duo from the Puppy Pals stamp and cut using the coordinating die set. She colors them spectacularly in Copic markers. She creates a stunning backdrop in bright colors. Don't you love the way she creates the subtle stripes?  She stamps the sentiment and adds a trio of hearts for the perfect touch!

Debbie Owens surrounds her sweet pink flamingo from the Flamingo Flock stamp set with lots of her fabulous feathered friends. She uses the scallop-edged frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set to crop this full frame image down.  She then pairs it with a light pink background die cut using the large scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. She stamps the sentiment on a white banner and adds pink gems. A fabulous idea to surround oneself with beloved friends!

Diane Morales shows us a trio of friends enjoying snacks and a good movie!  These feline cuties are from the Newton's Movie Night stamp and die set. Diane uses the Popcorn stencil to add a lot of buttery treats in the background.  She stamps the sentiment and scatters a few more popped kernels!  Anyone else ready to join them for a good show?  

Sue T.'s friends are enjoying the great outdoors!  With the fluffy clouds made using the Clouds stencil and the tall fir trees using the Forest Scene Build die set, Winston and his friend from the Winston's Lake House stamp and die set are enjoying a day canoeing on a peaceful lake made using the Hills & Grass stencil.  She stamps the sentiment on a speech bubble die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. 

 Sue uses the Frames Squared die set for her card.  An amazing way for friends to spend the day!

Amy Tollner makes a heart-shaped card using the Heart Frames die set. On her scallop-edged heart, she adds pastel clouds and tall green grass using the Clouds and the Hills & Grass stencils respectively. She then adds her playful puppies from the Puppy Pals stamp and die set. She pulls the little flower hair accessory from the Newton's Valentine stamp and die set, and the butterflies are from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and die set. A fabulous combination of elements for this delightful card!

Sue T. creates this fun Halloween card!  She begins with a black card base. She then uses the Framework die set to die cut her black and white polka dotted layer in which she pops up using dimensional tape. She adds a black stripe and a banner using Halloween pattern paper. For her tag, she  uses the Fancy Edges Tag die set and pattern paper. For her focal point she colors this duo of puppies from the Happy Howl-oween stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment and die cuts using the Speech Bubbles die set.  A wonderful way to celebrate Halloween!

Becky Noelle designs this incredible green background by using the Pumpkin Patch stencil. Her pumpkins are beautiful! She splatters some white accents to add more interest. She adds more texture to her card by adding two different twine and ribbon. She uses the Fancy Edges Tag die set to create her tag. She stamps the sentiment from the Fall-ing for You stamp set on the tag and adds a twine bow for her final touch. Wow!

Bobbi Lemanski brings us this fantastic feminine birthday card in pretty shades of pink. She creates her background by splattering watercolor in pinks, yellows, and grays. She adds layers of scalloped-edge stripes in coordinating colors. She creates a light gray tag and adds the sentiment and flowers using the Holding Happiness stamp and die set. For main attraction, she stamps and colors the girl with her overly big present from the Holding Happiness stamp and die set. A bit of ribbon and a few sequins completes this festive card.

Debbie Owens combines orange and black with a flock of flamingos for a fun, festive Halloween card. She begins by adding an orange scalloped-edged layer from the Frames & Flags die set and places it atop a black card base. She then white embosses the flamingos from the Flamingo Flock stamp set on black. She fussy cuts them and adheres to the orange layer. She adds an orange stripe and black banner using the Frames & Flags die set. She then die cuts the tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. She adds the flamingo from the Spooky Skeletons stamp set and a scattering of sequins.

Diane Morales creates a stunning purple background using the Argyle Stencil Set with the glittery stitches. She adds a black strip with a lime green banner using the Frame & Flags die set. For her tag she stamps little spider webs in two corners. She adds her little sweet kitten with her witch's hat from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. She finishes by stamping the sentiment and popping it up with foam tape.

Inky Paws Challenge #105 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge!

Every dog lover will fall in love with Bobbi Lemanski's card!  Bobbi stamps the image from the Walking Woofs stamp set and shades each puppy uniquely. She selects a red, white, and sky blue color scheme for the lovely lady. She continues this color scheme with the bottom sky blue panel and red twine. She adheres this center panel to a white panel edged with red.  The addition of black prints in the corner as well as the black & white striped washi tape makes for an adorable card. 

Here's a not-so-spooky Halloween card by Debbie Owens. She begins by using the  Bubbly stencil set to create a playful background in lime green. She then creates her center panel using the stitched frame from the Frames & Flags die set.  She adds a lime green strip and black polka dotted washi tape before stamping a subtle crescent moon and Halloween sentiment using the Spooky Skeletons stamp set. She adds a bit of twine. Her focal image is the daring Halloween due from the newly released Happy Howl-oween stamp set.  Super cute!

Diane Morales brings us our second too-cute-to-spook Halloween card. For her scalloped-edge card base, she uses the Frames & Flags die set. She then uses the smaller scalloped-edged frame from the Framework die set to make a white and a black polka dotted layer. She adds her brightly costumed critters from the Halloween Trio stamp and die set and adds a twine bow and a couple of bats to finish her delightful card.

With autumn just around the corner, Sue T. gets us in the mood with this beautiful card. Sue chooses a fabulous fall pattern paper which she die cuts using the Frames & Flags die set. She then creates her center panel using two different wood grain papers on which she stamps the thankful sentiment from
the Thankful Thoughts stamp set. To pull everything together, she adds the fox holding the pumpkin from the Harvest Tails stamp and die set.

Becky Noelle's creation could be called pretty in pink because it is!  She begins by distressing the background in shades of pink using the Tropical Leaves stencil. She adds her second layer by fussy cutting out all those flamingos from the Flamingo Flock stamp set so the leaves can be seen. She adds a dark pink sentiment banner using the Frames & Flags die set on which she white embosses the sentiment.  All that fussy cutting paid off...this is an amazing card!
