Inky Paws Challenge #238 Week 4

Welcome to Inky Paws'

March Challenge!

For March, we have a spring theme to play with!

Only a few more days to get creative with showers and flowers using your NND Products!

You until Friday, March 28, 2025 (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.

Let's see how the IPC team used the Showers & Flowers theme for the last week of the March Challenge:

Danni Bindel creates this sweet spring card showcasing her sweet kitty from the Newton's Umbrella stamp and coordinating die set. Her use of the blue striped paper makes it look like a spring shower in the background. Her fun paper selection comes from the Pastel Basics paper pad and die cut using dies from the Frames & Tags die set. Her big, puffy rain clouds were made using the Sky Scene Builder die set. The way she colored her feline and the added stripes to her umbrella just add to the cuteness!

Debbie Owens baby shower card is a creative twist on the shower theme. She uses the Raindrops stencil and the Sky Scene Builder die set to create the showery backdrop. She adds the letters for baby using the Essential Alphabet die set with striped paper from the Springtime paper pad. She adds a trio of bibs using the Bitty Bibs stamp and coordinating die set and places them atop floral and striped papers from the Springtime paper pad. A creative take on the Showers & Flowers theme!

This is a darling backdrop for the little critters from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp and coordinating die set. To give her card a nice spring flair, Amy adds clouds using the Sky Borders die set with subtle raindrops using the Raindrops stencil. Her critters look amazing with her amazing coloring skills!
