Inky Paws Challenge #81 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Create a project using the theme: Fabulous Fall

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Becky Noelle creates this 3-dimensional pop-up box using the Autumn Newton stamp set. She creates a blue autumn sky then colors her frolicking feline. To create that big pile of leaves, she stamps a lot of leaves, fussy cuts them, and does a lot of masking.  A labor of love that is totally worth it because this is just a-meow-zing!

Debbie Owens creates multiple layers by embossing a brown stripe. She then adds a large banner in black gingham with a black border. She then die cuts a circle for a black frame to showcase Autumn Newton stamp set image. She adds the sentiment to a smaller banner and adds some twine to finish it off.

Diane Morales creates these little autumn treat boxes.  Can't you just see these sitting on your Thanksgiving table?  After creating her boxes, she creates the grass using the Land Borders Die. She then colors these sweet critters from the Harvest Tails stamp set and adheres to her grass. Using the Tags Two Times Die, she creates tags and adds a bit of twine to finish them off!  So cute!

(Will be back soon!)

Sue T. mimics the plaid blanket in the inspiration photo by using the Serene Stripes stencil.  She then stamps this fun-loving feline from the Autumn Newton stamp set who is frolicking in the leaves.  Using the Framework die set, she creates her background and stamps the sentiment.

Her transparent cloud is a perfect touch for Newton from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp and die set as he sails by with a birthday wish. Emily also uses the Frames & Flags die set to frame her delightful creation!

Zsofia Molnar has the right idea on celebrating a birthday. The bright, colorful striped background works wonderfully with those delicious-looking drinks from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set. Cheers!

 Andrea Shell beautifully showcases the new Holding Happiness stamp and die sets. I am in awe of how she colored her transparent balloons!  Her background pattern paper pulls all the colors together wonderfully. Andrea also uses the Frames & Flags die set.
