Debbie's FAVE

Karen Guettler's use of rainbow colors on the black background really makes her card stand out!  She uses the  Flip-Flop Life to create her own rainbow pattern paper. Then she then white embosses the flip-flops on black and uses the coordinating die set.  On a black circle, she again white embosses the sentiment.  The white stitching on the black frames adds a nice touch!  

Diane's FAVE

Christine Miller uses the Newton's Birthday Balloon stamp and coordinating die set to create a darling Father's Day card.  She uses papers with stars, stripes and polka dots that add a fun, festive touch to her card.  Don't you love how she colored her sweet kitty!  Delightfully done!

Sue's FAVE

Karen Guettler's combination of Shark Bites stamp and coordinating die set and the Shark Frenzy stamp set makes for a truly JAW-some card!  She sets the scene using the  Shark Frenzy stamp set. Then she uses the little fish images from the  Shark Bites stamp set to create an underwater scene on which she stamps the sentiment and cuts into a circle. She adds the breaching shark on her other watery circle.  JAW-some job, Karen!

Amy's FAVE

Summer's here, and it's time for a picnic! Priscilla Joseph 's card will have you packing your basket with goodies.  She begins by creating her background using the Basketweave stencil. She adds a red & white plaid "blanket" before coloring the goodies from the Newton's Picnic stamp set.  Don't you love how Newton is digging in? Wonderfully done, Priscilla!

Inky Paws Challenge #142 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'a a refresher.

Create a project using watercolors!

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

Diane Morales heat embosses the full-front image from the Caffeinated Cats stamp set in white and uses a trio of watercolors to create a colorful backdrop.  She uses the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. For her center piece she die cuts a scalloped circle using the Circle Frames die set and adds the darling tea-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Mug stamp and die set. The white embossed sentiment really stands out against the red mug!  Tea-riffic!

 

Sue T. uses her water colors to create layers of clouds from the Sky Borders die in the pattern of a rainbow!  This colorful setting is perfect for her darling unicorn from the Believe in Unicorns stamp and die set to play amid!  Unicorns and rainbows make for a magical combination!

Amy Tollner's brilliant and bold watercolor background is truly amazing!  She adds glittery stars and specks of gold to turn her sky into the Milky Way.  She adds three images from the Cosmic Newton stamp set and cuts using the coordinating die set. Doesn't Newton look spectacular in his green spaceship while his friend spies on the astronaut floating through space?  By using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, Amy is able to capture the full scene grounded by using the Land Borders die set.  

Claire Lamb's splash of bright yellow watercolors is a perfect backdrop for this hungry kitten looking for a snack.  That naughty kitten is from the Newtons' Picnic stamp set and cut using the coordinating die set.  Claire's fabulous coloring and the addition of those little ants makes for a bright, fun card!  Dig in, indeed!

 Debbie Owens brings us a tropical delight beginning by using watercolors with the Waves stencil for a watery effect. She then die cuts using the Sea Borders die set to create some waves for the sweet whale from the Tides of Love stamp set.  In the background, she has created a sunset using watercolors with the silhouette of an island and palm trees from the Paradise of Palms stamp set in the background. She uses the small, scallop-edged die from the Framework die set from Kraft card stock to frame her scene.  A sweet way to send some love!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 26, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
