Our Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration team has chosen a few of their favorite challenge entries from this challenge! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

Danni's FAVE

Meghan K. pulls some fun farm-themed papers that make for a fun background for her trio of Holstein cows!  Those sweet cows are from the Moo stamp and coordinating die set. Meghan also uses the Framework die set to make her panels.  A darling way to showcase cows!

Debbie's FAVE

Inkami uses a retired stamp set, Chicken Scratches, to create this absolutely darling scene using the challenge panels wonderfully!  Just love all those little chicken footprints and the added shadows!

Amy's FAVE

Danielle's card may have you jumping into a nearby pool or ocean! She combines papers from the Summertime paper pad. Such a fun summery mix. Then she adds a duo of water-bound puppies from the Beach Barks stamp and coordinating die set. A sprinkling of seashells finishes off her darling scene!

Claire's FAVE

Jenni uses subtle pastel peach to make a pretty background for her sweet mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set. The sweet scene is just the cutest with the added butterfly and the randomly placed flowers!

Crystal's FAVE

Becca uses the Hibiscus die set to create her beautiful floral element. She places on a mixed media backgroun with embossed black panels that make the floral arrangement just pop!  She embosses the sentiment from the Little Lilies stamp set and adds a bit of orange and white twine.  A very eye-catching card!

Thank you for playing!

Inky Paws Challenge #89 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the above sketch.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Becky Noelle's combination of floral and wood grain makes for a beautiful card. She begins with the white base die cut from the Frames & Flags die set. She then adds a wood grain vertical banner with twine wrapping the top. She adds a pink polka-dotted velum again using the Frames & Flags die. She adds her focal point using the Happy Little Thoughts stamp and die set.  She embosses the sentiment in white in the center to finish her pretty card.

Bobbi Lemanski creates this bright, cheery card by creating her vertical stripe using scraps of card stock. She adds a cloudy background behind the owl from the Sending Hugs stamp and die set.  She hand draws the branch on which her cute owl sits. She adds lots of love letters, again using the Sending Hugs stamp and die set.  The little kite flying high in the sky is from the Delightful Doxies stamp set.

Debbie Owens finds the purr-fect pattern paper to coordinate with the ice-cream lovin' kitty from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp set. She sets the card on a light-blue polka-dotted paper die cut from the Frames & Flags die set. She then uses the same die to created the scalloped edges on the other paper pieces. She cuts the center piece from the Snow Globe Shaker die set. The sentiment on the pink tag is from the Summer Scoops stamp set.

Diane Morales gives us a slice of tropical paradise. She creates her background by using die cut white leaves from the Hibiscus die set.  She then adds a layer of green leaves and black and white twine before adding her plaid heart which she used the Plaid Stencil set.  She features this lovely couple from the Toucan Party stamp set.

Sue T. uses black and white and a splash of red to create this romantic card.  Her black background is  cut using the Framework die set.  Her vertical stripe uses black and white striped paper, and she adds red heart Washi tape to the edge. Her center piece is a doily with the center removed allowing the fun sentiment paper to peek through.  The romantic couple is the star of the card which comes form the  Newton's Christmas Cuddles stamp set.

Several of our Design Team Members decided to play along - check out all the awesome Summer cards they created! Read the description below each card to see who made it.

Naki created an awesome beach scene combining two or our Newton summer sets. The kitty in the hammock and tropical drink are from the new Aloha Newton stamp set and the kitty with the sandcastle and pail are from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set. 

Samantha created an awesome watercolor beach scene on her card. She used distress markers to ink up the palm tree  from our Paradise Palms stamp set and watercolored over the top! The "summer lovin'" sentiment is from the new Dog Days of Summer Stamp set. 

Stephanie created this awesome beach card! She used bright watercolors to color the kitty from the new Aloha Newton stamp set! She also added in the tiny die cut hibiscus and leaf from the Tiki Time stamp set! Such a perfect summery combo!  

What says summer more than a tiki drink? Jess used a whole crew of tiki faces  from our new Tiki Time stamp set across the bottom of her card! I love that pretty sky she put behind them! 

Larissa created some beautiful summer earrings using the Hibiscus die set and shrink plastic! What a fun idea! These turned out amazing! She created those cool backer cards for them using the frame from the Garden Starter stamp set! 

I had fun playing along this month too! I created a dog card using the pup and ice cream from our new Dog Days of Summer Stamp stamp set.  I made a simple card, just adding a sentiment and some washi and flags ups this side using paper scraps! I thought it needed a little bling so I added on a big button!
