Inky Paws Challenge #199 Reminder

Don't forget -
There's still time to play along with our

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 theme--rainbow!

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

Amy Tollner uses the napping Newton from the Newton's Naptime stamp set who is enjoying his nap atop a stack of blankets in hues of the rainbow! For even more rainbow fun, she uses the Meow stencil to create a "wallpaper" for her room that also includes a pretty blue hardwood floor (Hardwood stencil-retiring). She uses a sentiment as well as the toy mouse and food dish from the Welcome New Cat stamp and die set. For the postage-edging she uses the main die from the Framework die set. A colorful way to send some love!

Claire Lamb's variegated skeins of yarn in rainbow colors seem to make her little fur balls quite happy! Those little fur balls are from the Newton Unwinds stamps & coordinating die set. Claire places them on a scallop-edged oval (Oval Frames die set) filled with hearts (Petite Hearts stencil) in rainbow hues. Her purr-fect sentiment is from the Kitten Beach stamp set. A fun, colorful way to send happy greetings!

Crystal O. Minkler pulls a rainbow of papers from the Birthday Party paper pad to create layers of birthday fun. She adds our high-flying Newton from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set with his lavender balloons. To create her many layers, Crystal uses dies from the Frames & Flags and the Frames Squared die sets. A colorful way to celebrate!

Debbie Owens uses the paw print die from the Bookmark die set to create a rainbow of paw prints down her slimline card. She then adds the little puppy and the poignant sentiment from the Furr-ever Friends stamp set. A beautiful card to send to a loved one who has a fur baby crossing The Rainbow Bridge.

Diane Morales will satisfy your sweet tooth without all the calories! She creates an oval card base using the Oval Frames die set and adds a fun background using the Petite Snow stencil. Atop her card base awaits a rainbow of confectionery goodies (Love & Chocolate stamp and coordinating die set). She uses the newly released Banner Duo die set with her foiling machine to make her darling banner. She sprinkles her yummy card with a few jewels! Fantastically done, Diane!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, June 9, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
