latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here's a refresher.

Use the Challenge Colors--Watermelon Red, Flamingo Pink, Parakeet Green, and Sea foam Blue with your NND products. 

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

Debbie Owens uses the challenge colors for a playful summer scene complete with the little puppies from the Beach Barks stamp set. She pairs them with papers from the Summertime paper pad. Using the scallop-edged oval from the Oval Frames die set, she creates a little swimming pool using the blue bubbly paper, again from the Summertime paper pad. She completes the card with a summer sentiment from the Seashell Roundabout stamp set.

Amy Tollner celebrates with some scrumptious summer treats using the Summer Scoops stamp and coordinating die set. She sets those treats on a confetti background using the Confetti stencil. To create the postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set. The sentiment was stamp on a banner using a die from the Frames & Flags die set.

Claire Lamb has created the cutest beach scene filled with furry felines from the Kitten Beach stamps and coordinating die set basking the day away! She creates her scene with a combination of dies from the Land Borders and the Sea Borders die sets. Don't you just love the pink sky?

Crystal Minkler creates a lovely red table on which Newton is enjoying a mug of java Joe! This little caffeinated feline is from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set. Crystal creates her rounded-stitched layer using the Frames & Flags die set. The CAS design and the little splash of challenge colors makes for a delightful card!

Danni Bindel uses the challenge colors to create a beautiful floral garden. She creates her squared card base and layers using the Frames Squared die set. Those gorgeous flowers were made using the Floral Fringe stamp set. So pretty!

Debbie's FAVE

Jennifer K. also used the challenge colors for a summery card. Her card features the goat from the retiring Floaty Goat stamp set enjoying a day relaxing at the pool.  The dashed-concentric circles resembled the rippling waves after splashing in a pool. So refreshing and fun!

Diane's FAVE

Diane loved Avra's ink blending on this sweet spring card. Avra used the Spring Garden Line stencil to create a garden filled with golden daffodils just perfect for the little mouse and butterfly from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set to play in.  

Amy's FAVE

Amy loved how Helen F. used the Newton from the Newton's Donut stamp set to peek through the flora created using the Floral Fringe stamp set.  Helen also adds in a shaker element and an embossed panel to get her card texture and movement!  For her sentiment, she pulls one from the Lilac stamp set. Love it!

Claire's FAVE

 Claire loves the combination of plaid and flowers on Dayna A.'s darling card. Dayna creates a circle card base (inspired by our very own Diane) and partially covers it with blue and yellow plaid paper. She then adds the sprig of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. She sprinkles a few little yellow blooms for balance for a beautifully designed card!

Crystal's FAVE

Melanie H.'s CAS design and punny sentiment made this fabulous card Crystal's favorite.  Melanie partially and subtly distresses the background in the challenge colors, then adds a bold cactus from the Cuppa Cactus stamp set in a blue and yellow mug.  The sentiment is definitely punny and may be very appropriate for some people in our lives! 😊

Thank you for playing!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here'a a refresher.



Create a project using the colors:   mint, plum, green, and lilac.

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

Amy Tollner uses the challenge colors to create a bright, bold shaker card!  She uses the Frames Squared die set to create her card base and scallop-edged shaker frame showcasing the Floral Fringe stamp set. Don't you love her beautiful coloring of the flowers in the challenge colors!  Brilliantly done!

Claire Lamb die cuts multiple speech bubbles using the Speech Bubble die set to create textured background. She then uses the challenge colors to distress a rainbow backdrop die cut using the stitched die from the Frames Squared die set. She spot lights the trio of kittens from the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp and cut using the coordinating die set. The glossy accents on the small speech bubbles adds a nice finishing touch!  SpeCATular!

 Debbie Owens takes us under the sea using the challenge colors. Using the square scallop-edged die from the Frames Squared die set, she die cuts a lavender pattern paper layer.  She adds a circular scallop-edged using a die from the Circle Frames die set. On this circle she has added some subtle waves using texture paste and the Waves stencil. In those waves, she adds Newton from the Scuba Newton stamp set.  She adds sea critters, coral, and seaweed using elements from both the Tides of Love stamp set and the Scuba Newton stamp set. Her last touch is the speech bubble die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. Delightful!

Diane Morales cuts strips of paper in the challenge colors for her background on which she stamps and embosses the lily image from the Easter Lily stamp set repeatedly. She then a white frame popped with dimension tape using the Snow Globe Shaker set die.  She then stamps and colors the lovely birds from the Toucan Party stamp and cut using the coordinating die set.  A colorful way to celebrate an anniversary of a marriage! 

Sue T.'s  uses the challenge colors to create a pretty garden complete with a hummingbird!  A top an embossed card base, Sue adds a stitched circle layer die cut using the Circle Frames die set. On this circle she has stamped and shaded the flowers from the Hummingbird stamp in lavender and mint.  She then stamps and colors the hummingbird from the aforementioned set in plum and green. She uses the coordinating die set to cut out the bird and then affixing with dimension tape.  She stamps the sentiment on a speech bubble die cut from the Speech Bubbles die set. Beautiful!

Diane Morales creates an amazing square card using the Frames Squared die set and a coordinating bookmark using the Fancy Edges Tag die set.  Using the Floral Fringe stamp set, Diane uses the challenge colors to shade the flowers. Don't you love the black-eyed Susans?  

Sue T. creates this amazing spring card by cleverly combining sets. She uses the Frames & Flag die set to create her center panel and adds the bubbles from the Bokeh stencil set.  Those lovely coral flowers are from the Easter Lily stamp and die set. She places them in the watering can from the Hop Into Spring stamp and die set. Using the banner die from the Frames & Flag die set, she stamps a sentiment from the Dainty Daisies stamp set. 

 Becky Noelle combines elegant with cuteness with her card. Starting with texture paste with the Hardwood stencil on a mint card base, she adds a lattice frame on which to display the kitty peeking out of his boots from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set.  Her coral-colored flowers coordinated beautifully with the twine. The black banner (Frames & Flags die set) with it's white embossed sentiment from the Woodland Spring stamp set provides a nice pop of contrast.  {sigh}

Crystal Komara creates a gorgeous peony card using the Peony Blooms stamp and die set. The coral flowers go so perfectly with the mint ribbon and mint gingham paper. Sparkly rhinestones giving it a extra special touch of sparkle!

 Debbie Owens was inspired by the bicycles as well as the colors in the challenge photo. She creates a little country scene using the Cloudy Sky stencil with glittery embossing paste and the Land Borders die set for the hills and grass.  She scallops the edges using the Frames & Flags die set. The main attraction is the darling kitty zooming on his scooter from the Newton Scoots By stamp set. Sprinkle in a  few flowers from the Newton's Valentine, twine, and a black speech bubble with white embossing from the Speech Bubbles die set.  Sweetness!

Create a project using the challenge colors-Coral Pink, Mint Green, White, and Black.
