Inky Paws Challenge #256 Week 2

 

September Challenge


We can't wait to see your Fall and/or Halloween creations!

You have until Friday, September 25, 2026 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop! The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday. Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project.

Here's some inspiration:  We couldn't decide between fall and Halloween so we're choosing BOTH! Create a card with a fall and/or Halloween theme to join. Create a thank you using fall images and colors. Try creating a cute (or spooky) Halloween scene. This time of year is filled with frights and delights! Choose your favorite and enter today!

Behind her fence is a trio of puppies from the Pumpkin Tails stamp and coordinating die set searching for the right pumpkin. She stamps her sentiment on a stitched panel using the Frames & Flags die set. The bright colors adds playfulness to this fabulous card!
