latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

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

Here's a refresher.

Use your NND products with the above sketch.

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

Debbie Owens' card gives us a sneak peek of spring with the use of the tulip paper from Springtime paper pad and the tulip-laden lady from the Loads of Blooms stamp set. She uses dies from the A7 Frames & Banners, the Framework, and the Banner Trio die sets to create the different layers.  On the banner, she stamps a sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set and adds a butterfly from the Tulips stamp set. So fresh and pretty!

Diane Morales also brings a spring-filled card just right for wishing someone to get well soon.  She uses flowers and the jar from the retiring Lovely Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls plaid paper from the Springtime paper pad. She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set, and uses a sentiment from the Heartfelt Essentials stamp set. So beautiful!

Amy Tollner's card will have you zipping to your local doughnut shop for a sweet treat! She makes an A7 card using the  A7 Frames & Banners die set. Then she combines the doughnut paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad with the kitty with his overly-large treat from the Newton's Donut stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't you love how Amy adds texture to her center panel by lightly stamping sprinkles!  So yummy!

Claire Lamb's card is filled with rainbow colors!  She also creates an A7 card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. For her center panel, she stamps pawprints and hearts in various colors. For her other panels she uses the puppy and the kitty image from the  All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't they look darling on their pile of books. She places her sentiment on a banner using the Banner Trio die set.  Don't you love the colorfulness!

 

Crystal O. Minkler showcases the kitty from the Newton's Mug stamp and coordinating die set.  Check out this video to see the wobble element in action! She adds a heart using the Circle Frames die set.  She coordinates everything by using papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad.  Too cute!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 3, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
