Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

 Debbie Owens uses the Waves stencil to create some waves for her surfing kitty from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp set.  Uses the the Circle Frames die to create a focal point on which she stamps the sentiment.  Her colors of lime green, orange and teal provide a nice summery touch!

Diane Morales creates an underwater scene bursting with color!  She creates her watery world with the Waves & Splashes stencil. She then stamps the bold images from the Tranquil Tides stamp in beautiful colors and cuts them out using the coordinating die set. She stamps the sentiment on a small stitched circle using the Circle Frames die set.  Spectacular!

Sue T.'s adorable card is filled with summery treats!  She uses  the ice cream cone image from the Summer Scoops stamp set to create her backdrop and die cuts using the Circle Frames die set. She softens the look by adding vellum and frames it all with a pink scallop-edged circle using the aforementioned die set.  Enjoying all that ice cream is her cream and tan kitten from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp and die set. She uses the Speech Bubbles die set to stamp her sentiment. Her color palette of creams, tans, and pinks make for a scrumptious ice cream card!

 

Amy T. sets a beautiful summer scene for her gnome to explore!  She adds birch trees atop her pastel sky using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  She then adds grassy hills using the Land Borders die set.  She pulls the gnome on his mushroom from the Gnome Garden stamp and die cuts him using the coordinating die set.  She also pulls the wheelbarrow brimming with flowers from the same set.  Amy then adds flowers, butterflies, and birds using images from the  Gnome Garden and 

the Woodland Spring stamp and die sets.  What a fabulous way to spend a summer afternoon!

Claire Lamb also takes us under the sea, but this time there's manatees playing beneath the waves!  She creates her watery backdrop and adds sun rays filtering through the water using the Sunscape stencil. She uses the  Land Borders die set to create her sandy bottom.  Her star attractions are the duo of manatees from the Manatee-rific stamp and cut using the coordinating die set.  Don't you love how one of the sweet manatees is holding a heart?  {sigh!}

Use the theme--Summer.

Inky Paws Challenge #128 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? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.
Create a project using the Colors:  

Red, Pink, Orange, and Yellow

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Set on a yellow distressed background, Sue T.  adds fish, coral, and starfish in the challenge colors using the Tranquil Tides. She stamps the "Seas the Day" sentiment to her beautiful underwater scene to complete her CAS card!

 Becky Noelle's color progression from red to yellow using distress inks provides a beautifully blended background for her tropical paradise card. Using the Tropical Leaves stencil, she adds rich texture to her card before adding the palm trees from the Paradise Palms stamp set which are heat embossed in white.  Using partially cuts a vellum frame using the Frames & Flags die set and pulls a sentiment from the Aloha Newton stamp set. Her white stitching provides yet more fabulous texture!

Crystal Komara chooses the balloon lady from the Holding Happiness stamp and die set as her main focus.  Her balloons look so festive in the challenge colors. Using dies from the Circle Frames die set, she adds the "Big Wishes" sentiment on a white circle with  a red, scallop-edged circle beneath. She selects a horizontal striped paper that no only has the challenge colors, but adds a nice contrast to all the circles and balloons!  A festive card, indeed!

Diane Morales makes a shaped card base using the Frames Squared die set using white card stock and uses the  Plaid stencil set for a subtle background.  She then stamps and die cuts the porch image from the Porch Swing Friends stamp and die set and colors everything in the challenge colors.  Don't you love the little white dots on her blanket? She adds string to her swing and adheres it so it actually swings!  Brilliant!

 Debbie Owens'card has lots of fun layers using several die sets from Newton's Nook Designs.

She started by using a white card base and the Frames Squared die set. She uses the scallop-edged die for the pink frame from the same set.  The Circle Frames die set is used for the center circle layer.  Using Distress Ink she lightly adds pink waves using the Waves stencil. Using the challenge colors of orange, yellow and red, she stamps and die cuts several elements from the Tranquil Tides stamp and die set. She sprinkles in some sequins for sparkle and shine.  On a small circular die, she heat embosses the sentiment.  As she assembles the card, she adds some cheese cloth netting for more texture and a bit of fun!

Here'a a refresher.
Create a project using the theme:  Summer

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

 Debbie Owens's surfer Newton's Perfect Wave stamp set is sporting a polka-dotted  bikini as she heads off into the waves die cut using the Sea Borders die set. The seagulls from the Gull Friends stamp set have a fabulous perch to watch all the action.  This whole scene sits atop a postage-edged Kraft card stock die cut from the Framework die set.  Did you spy the little sand dollar?  It's from the Vitamin Sea mini stamp set!

Diane Morales creates this fetching skinny card by using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set. She uses our bold Tranquil Tides stamp and die set for the sea life images.  The whole card makes you long for a trip to the ocean!

Sue T.'s CAS summer card is packed with fun!  She uses the Sunscape stencil and distress in shades of orange to yellow. That good-lookin' feline is from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set. Her rose colored bikini coordinates with her hibiscus surfing board!  Ready to go surfing?

 Becky Noelle creates a beautiful blue and pink tropical card using the Tropical Leaves stencil set. She adds some white splatters for texture. She then uses the Paradise Palms stamp set and embosses in white. She continues by die cutting vellum using the Circle Frames die set.  She heat embosses the sentiment from the Aloha Newton stamp set in white.  She adds pink stitching for her final touch!

Enjoy eating ice cream on a hot summer's day?  Then you're going to love Crystal Komara's sweet card!  She begins her card with a Kraft card stock die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She then adds a pink spattered layer with green grass before adding her quartet of kittens from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp and die set. Her softly colored kittens and delicious ice cream flavors makes this a summer hit!
