Here's a refresher.

Bubblegum Pink, Lilac, Spring Green, and White. 

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

Amy Tollner's llama in her lavender shades definitely brings a smile!  This sweet llama is from the Lovable Llamas stamp and coordinating die set. Amy uses the Serene Stripes stencil to create her pastel background which has been cut using the scallop-edge frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. She incorporates a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set) and a rounded banner (Banner Trio die set) which she embosses the sentiment.  A spectacular way to use the challenge colors!

Claire Lamb's sky subtly uses the challenge colors that is perfect for her sweet lambs on their speckled clouds!  Those lambs are from the Baa stamps and coordinating die set, and her clouds were created usign the Sky Borders die set.  Precious!

Crystal O. Minkler uses the challenge colors on this bold, beautiful card filled with butterflies!  She uses the Butterflies stencil set for her background. She places it with a pink layer and a white, scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set). She creates a trio of banners and embosses a sentiment from the Garden Mice stamp set.  So lovely!

Debbie Owens uses the colors for her square-shaped Easter card. She uses the Frames Squared die set for the card base and center panel. She then stamps two tulips (Tulips stamp set) and colors one in lavender and one in pink.  She places them behind the cute bunny and his sign from the Hoppy Greetings stamp set. Such a cute scene!

Diane Morales creates the cutest slimline card using the scallop-edge frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She adds a white fence (Fence die set) which looks fabulous against her pink-speckled background.  Her star attraction is the sweet, tan kitty from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment on a hand-made banner.  The extra Easter eggs fills in the space wonderfully!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 31, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
