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 the colors--teal, yellow, green, and white.

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

Claire Lamb features a trio of kittens playing in the rain!  Claire uses the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp and coordinating die set to create this rainy delight!  The mirror image of the boots and paws in the water puddle is a genius idea!  Anyone else feeling like singing with these sweeties?  :)

Sweet and cuddly is the koala bear in  Debbie Owens' card!  She uses the Tropical Leaves and the Pineapple stencil sets to create layers of tropical goodness for the koala from the Pina Koala stamp set. She uses dies from the Frames Squared and the Frames & Flags die sets for her various fun layers.  Twine and sequins are added for extra fun! Sweet!

Diane Morales provides a delightful card to celebrate a birthday!  Beginning with a scallop-edged card base cut using dies from the  Frames & Flags die set, she adds lots of confetti by using the Confetti stencil. She tops her card off with Newton enjoying some frosting. This darling feline is from the 

Newton's Cupcake stamp and cut using the coordinating die set. Time to celebrate!

Sue T. also brings us a birthday-inspired card! She, too, features the frosting-lovin' kitten from the Newton's Cupcake stamp and coordinating die set. Her wavy cupcake wrapper is super fun!  More cupcakes are added using the Cupcake stencil set and cut out with the large die from the Speech Bubbles die set.  Scrumptious!

Want to visit the tropics?  Amy Tollner's card brings the beauty of the tropics without leaving home! She uses the challenge colors with the Tropical Fringe main image for a slice of paradise!  She opts for a square base by using dies from the Frames Squared  die set. A splattering of sequins adds a sparkly touch to this tropical card!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, August 27, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Sue's FAVE

Cari S. shows us how to conserve water! She finds pattern papers that perfectly complement the images from the  Wine A Little stamp and coordinating die set. The sentiment from this stamp set provides a bit of humor!  

Amy's FAVE

Joyce's darling card is packed full of puppy cuteness. All the puppies look like they are in a basket with the distressed background made using the Basketweave stencil.  She fills her card with puppies using the Woof Pack stamp set.  Don't you love how she fussy cuts two puppies to place outside her window?  Wonderfully done!

Claire's FAVE

Karen Guettler Carlson creates a window with the deer from the \Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set peeking through.  The striped background adds a dramatic touch. The added floral sprig pulls everything together wonderfully!

Debbie's FAVE

What do you get when you combine pineapples and a koala?   Kristi's card answers the riddle~piña koala!

Isn't her pineapple lovin' koala from the Pina Koala stamp set darling against the background of pineapples created using the Pineapple stencil.  The bright, crispness of her card is eye-catching!  So cute!

Diane's FAVE

Karen Guettler Carlson's CAS card is stunning with the striped banner behind the deer from the Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set. Leaving the image without color is a brilliant, bold move!

Inky Paws Challenge #104 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Color Challenge

Create a project using the colors: 

Yellow, Teal, Orange, and Brown.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge!

Becky Noelle creates a spectacular background on Kraft card stock and the Hibiscus stencil set. Her hibiscus are shaded in yellow and oranges with teal leaves.  She then uses the sentiments from the Simply Sentiment stamp set on striped vellum. She stitches the vellum to the card to give an extra special touch to this beautiful card.

Bobbi Lemanski brings us this refreshing card by heat embossing the lemon slices from the  Lemon Twist stamp set with white powder on orange, teal, and yellow squares.  She then rounds two adjacent corners  of each square before adhering in a 3 x 2 arrangement. She embosses another lemon and sentiment from the Lemon Twist stamp set on a brown rectangle with two rounded corners.  She adds two glasses of lemonade from the Cocktail Mixer stamp and die set to complete her amazing design.

Debbie Owens creates a bright yellow sky using the Sky Borders die set for her golfing friends to play a few rounds.  She creates white hills using the Land Borders die set. Those cute bears were colored in the challenge colors and are from the the Winston's Tee Time stamp set. Using the  Frame & Flags die set, she cuts a banner and adds a sentiment from the  Winston's Tee Time stamp set. She finishes her card with some orange and white twine.

Diane Morales is back with another amazing tag!  This one begins with her using the Pineapple stencil set with Versamark and clear embossing powder on a yellow background. She then adds the sweet corgi from the Corgi Beach stamp and die set. She heat embosses the sentiment from Oink stamp set in white on a banner from the Frame & Flags die set. A delightful summer tag!

Sue T. is getting us ready for the upcoming autumn season by using the challenge colors with the Shades of Autumn stamp set. After stamping the leaves several times, she die cuts with the Framework die set and adds dimension tape. She then cuts out a section and stamps the sentiment on the card base. She adds several jeweled embellishments to complete her beautiful card. 

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, August 23, 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!
