Our Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration team has chosen a few of their favorite challenge entries from this challenge! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

Diane's FAVE

Andrea W.  begins this fabulous card with a dark brown card base. She selects the perfect pattern paper.  That plaid has all the challenge colors in it!  She adds a wood grain layer that has the sentiment from the Autumn Mice stamp set stamp on it. Using the the Autumn Mice stamp and die set, Andrea adds several leaves to the ground and has her mouse chasing the ones still falling. This card has such a fun sense of movement!

Sue's FAVE

Cat creates this beautiful CAS card beginning with an ivory base. She masks off her white layer and distresses the center in a soft ivory hue. She adds the sentiment from the Autumn Mice stamp set in brown. Her mouse image form the  Autumn Mice stamp set looks so cute atop his orange pumpkin with the ivory pumpkin and leaves below!  

Becky's FAVE

Michelle Bala creates a long, skinny card which allows her to feature all four of the darling mice from the Autumn Mice stamp set.  Her orange-blended background with the white paint splatters makes for a perfect place for those mice to play. She adds several leaves which look like they are floating in the autumn breeze. She adds the sentiment  from the Autumn Mice stamp set on a light brown plague.

Bobbi's FAVE

Amy T.'s card will have you heading to the nearest pumpkin patch to pick the perfect pumpkin!  She begins with a dark pumpkin-colored card base on which she adds the jack-o-lantern pattern paper. She adds a green plaid rectangular layer. For her central element, she creates an ivory rectangle on which she adds the kitty and sentiment from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set. The trio of jack-o-lanterns pulls all the elements together.  Andrea finishes with orange jute and a sprinkling of sequins.


Debbie's FAVE

Dand93 (Irene) creates this CAS fall scene. She begins by adding two vertical stripes in green. She adds the tree branch from the What a Hoot stamp and die set and adds a lonely leave that's about to drop.  She stamps the sentiment from the Autumn Newton stamp set as well as a couple
 more leaves. From the Sweater Weather stamp set, Winston, in his finest orange and green sweater, takes center stage.  Utterly adorable!

Thank you for playing!

Inky Paws Challenge #65 Reminder

Don't forget - There's still one week 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 Color Challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.  It's a Color Challenge:  Use the colors pink, green, brown, and white.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Diane Morales' shimmering hearts were created using Tumbling Hearts stencil and make for a romantic backdrop to her sweet owls from What a Hoot stamp set.

Emily Lauritzen brings us a beautiful spring design using Happy Little Thoughts stamp and coordinating die set. Her pink backdrop looks beautiful against the dark brown scallop frame (Frames and Flags die set.)

Zsofia Molnar also uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create a subtle background. She then repeatedly stamps a sentiment from Darling Duos stamp set to set the stage for those sweet kitties from Newton's Sweetheart stamp set. What a fabulous combination of products!

Andrea Shell creates a darling scene by combining two stamp sets:

Newton Dreams of Paris and Snow Globe Scenes. I love her pink cloudy sky and how she demonstrates how a holiday stamp set can be used for any occasion! 

Debbie Owens creates a sweet CAS card using this week's colors and Newton's Sweetheart stamp set and Pawprints stencil. The layered hearts and pawprint background are wonderful way to showcase those darling kitties!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 16, 2018 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!
