Danielle creates a wonderful summer scene with the hibiscus floral background (Hibiscus )stencil. The little puppies from the Corgi Beach stamp and die set look like they are having the time of their life on their floaties. Danielle also uses the Flags & Frames die set. 

Debbie's FAVE

Meghan uses orange, teal, and yellow for her patch of pumpkins which is just so cute, and those tan kitties--adorable!  This image is from the Pumpkin Patch stamp set.  Meghan's use of fun pattern papers adds to the overall cuteness of her card!

Gail was also inspired to use the challenge colors for a pumpkin patch scene, and her pattern paper is perfect for the job.  She adds some trees using the Forest Scene Builder die set, and her latte-laden lady is looking fabulous in her polka dotted coat.

Danielle creates this darling slimline card using dies from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set in combination with the Slimline Masking Circles & Squares stencil set.

Danni's FAVE

Marianne brings more savory drinks to the table using the Cocktail Mixer stamp and coordinating die set.

 Debbie Owens's summer card cools one off with an icy cocktail!  Combining elements from the Slimline Frames & Portholes and Slimline Frames & Windows die sets, she creates the many layers including one with fun, pineapple pattern paper.  She adds the sweet koala from the Pina Koala stamp set as well as a pina colada drink from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set. She stamps the sentiment from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set on the circle die and adds a cherry from the Summer Scoops stamp set for a pop of red color!  Is it 5 o'clock yet?

Diane Morales' summer card takes us beneath some cool waves and a peek at a beautiful mermaid from the Purr-Maid Newton stamp and die set. She creates her unique shaped card using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set and the Sea Borders die set.  She adds texture to her waves by using the Hills & Grass stencil and different shades of blues.  Her final touch is the post sticking out of the water with the sweet seagull atop. This little fellow is from the Gull Friends stamp and die set.  A wonderful summer scene!

Sue T.'s summer card takes us to the beach for a bit of surfing!  She adds some colorful waves using distress inks and the Waves stencil. she pops her kitty from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set with some foam tape and adds the "hang ten" sentiment!  Clean, simple, and adorable!

 Becky Noelle's summer card has a tropical feel with the foiled flowers and leaves using the Hibiscus stencil set on a kraft card base.  She adds a splattering of white before adhering the vellum circle cut using the Circle Frames die set.  Her softly colored kitten from the Aloha Newton stamp set looks delightful as she peeks between the hibiscus flowers!  Aloha!

Crystal Komara's summer card is filled with beautiful blooms and hints of gold!  Using the scallop-edged die from the newly released Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, she cuts a tangerine background and adds pattern paper with gold dashes.  She adds her beautifully colored flowers form the Peony Blooms stamp and cuts them with the coordinating die set. She adds pale green and golden leaves as well as a black banner with the sentiment embossed in white. Gorgeous!

Inky Paws Challenge #116 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.

Color Challenge--Use the colors: 

Red, Teal, Green, and White!

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Debbie Owens frames the sweet fawn in Woodland Spring stamp set with flowers from the Hibiscus Stencil set that she distressed on top of a blue blended oval. She adds the 'grateful' sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set. (Visit her blog to see 3 other version of this card.)

Diane Morales is back with another darling tag!  Starting with the red paper with the white hearts, she continues with a white base on which she stamps the Happy Camper sentiment from the Cozy Campers stamp. She adds a nice green hill made from the Land Borders die set. She then adds her travel trailer from the Cozy Campers and die set in retro colors!  Love the pink hearts!

With an embossed white background, Sue T. adds a large red, stitched heart. she then stamps and colors the Floral Fringe stamp set in the challenge colors. She then cuts it out in a smaller heart which a fabulous way to stretch the Floral Fringe image. She stamps the sentiment in the middle and adds some pearl accents. Beautiful!

 Becky Noelle wows us with this pretty card!  She begins by using blue textured paste and the Tree Rings Stencil to create the background. She then adds red peonies from the Peony Blooms stamp and die set. She white embosses her sentiment on vellum and adds a stitched vellum border to the bottom.  Wowza!

Crystal Komera delights with her snow family in their festive attire!  With a pale blue gingham base, she adds the red scalloped frame (Frames & Flags die set). She stamps and colors the snow people from the Frosty Folks stamp and die set.  She stamps the sentiment in light blue and adds a lime-green twine bow!  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 14, 2020 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!
