 Debbie Owens leaves her comfort zone of kitties by bring us this darling puppy card! Using the Circle Frames die set, she creates a circle card filled with holiday fun. In red, lime, and green, she shades the holiday images stamped using the Christmas Roundabout stamp set. Her main attraction is the Christmas canine from the Christmas Puppies stamp set. A super fun way to wish a dog-lovin' a Merry Woof-mas!

Diane Morales showcases the VW bus from the Destination Christmas stamp set on her CAS tag. (So loving these vintage vehicles!) She layers her tag with layers of red and lime green.  Such a playful way to use the challenge colors!

Sue T. gives us a classic card using the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. She places her gorgeous flowers on a circle die cut with the lime snowflakes using the Petite Snow stencil. She places all on a green scallop-edged circle, again using the Circle Frames die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Sentiments of the Seasons stamp set in bold black.  A beautiful card for the upcoming season!

 Becky Noelle is back with her amazing stenciling skills. For her card, she showcases the newly released Tiny Trees stencil. She magically creates two-toned trees in lime and green.  She goes back and adds some red dot accents to a few of her trees.  She then embosses the sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set in white on a red card stock. She fussy cuts the sentiment and adds dimension with foam tape!  Don't you love the modern feel of this card?

Crystal Komara begins her darling card with a lime-green argyle paper that works perfectly for this challenge. She continues with a scallop-edged rectangle from the Frames & Flags die set. Then she showcases the pair of nutcrackers from the Nutcrackers stamp and die set in red and greens.  Using the coordinating die  set, she cuts out the sentiment in red.  Fabulous way to use the challenge colors!

Inky Paws Challenge #111 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Sketch Challenge

Create a project using the sketch.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

The black and white gingham background created with the Gingham stencil provides a fun background to Debbie Owens' winter-themed card.  Using a combination of dies from the Framework die set, the Frames & Flags die set, and the Frames Squared die set, Debbie adds layers in garnet and olive green for the sketch elements. She then selects the kitten peeking around the snowman image from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set and colors it in grays, greens and reds. A fun winter-themed card!

Diane Morales creates this fabulous tag that could also be used as a tree ornament!   She selects a fun striped pattern paper for her background before adding the banner and green foliage die cut using the Autumn Leaves die set. Her focal point is the the red ornament with the bold sentiment using the Ornament Shaker die set and the Ornament Wishes stamp set.

Sue T. captures the spirit of Thanksgiving in this fall-themed card.  Her pumpkin-filled background was created using distress inks with the Pumpkin Patch stencil. Sue then uses the Frames Squared die set to create the card base and golden-yellow layer. She then stamps and colors the image from Fall Fringe stamp set and adheres over her green banner. The raccoon in the vegetable crate from the Harvest Tails stamp set takes center stage!  A wonderful way to celebrate bounty of fall.

Becky Noelle's sweet nutcracker card will have you squeaking with delight with her spinner card!  She begins with a pale textured background using the Petite Snow stencil. She creates her "stage" by using a die from the Frames Squared die set and adds dark red curtains to the sides. Using the ballerina mouse from the The Nutcracker Squeak stamp set, she creates the twirling ballerina as her spinner element. She adds two more mouse images to the side of her stage. To tie it all together, she embosses the sentiment from the Newton's Christmas Kittens stamp set in white on a black banner that she places above her stage.  {Sigh!}

Bobbi Lemanski creates a pretty, traditional  holiday card by creating a wreath in light and dark green pine branches using the Pines and Holly die set. Inside her wreath she adds the Season's Greetings sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set.  She elegantly displays her wreath on a layer of golden-shimmer card stock and a dark green base. The banner of ribbon and holly berries are beautiful touches to this gorgeous card.

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 29, 2019 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!

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Becky Noelle creates wrapping paper for her "present" card. She uses the Snowfall stencil with red foil and her Minc machine. She adds red ribbon with white stitching on the edges. For the present's tag, she cuts her tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Christmas Haul stamp set as well as the present-laden lady. She colors the image in red, greens, and blues and finishes with a big red ribbon bow!  Darling!

She uses the big sentiments from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set. She adds the super darling puppy images from the Winter Woofs stamp set. She adds gingham ribbon bows at the top of her tags. Her use of red, white, and black makes for super festive holiday cards! 

Debbie Owens creates a darling Christmas card using nontraditional colors. She begins with a black card base and adds an olive green gingham frame using the Framework die set. She then uses the Music stencil and pink deco foil to create a textured layer which she die cuts using a die from the
Frames & Flags die set. She colors the trio of kitties from the Caroling Newton stamp set in olive green, pink, and teal and adheres with dimensional foam.  She then heat embosses the sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set and die cuts using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Fun colors for a holiday card!

Diane Morales creates a bright, delightful Halloween card!  She creates her background using the Cascading Stars stencil. She used texture paste and sprinkled Holographic powder on it while it was wet (but didn't use a heat gun).  Love the sparkle!  She then die cut the fence in white using the Fence die set. She added grass using the Land Borders die set.  Those cute critters are from the 

Boo Hoo stamp and die set. Just love those little speech bubbles!

Sue T. creates this dark, mysterious card using lots of black layers! She uses the Framework die to create her postage-stamp edge and scallop-edge layers.  She uses  Pick-a-Pumpkin die set to cut Jack-o-lantern faces multiple times on one of her black layers.
