Inky Paws Challenge #50 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's a refresher of the challenge -  the colors are white, melon, grape, and strawberry.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Diane creates a tropical paradise using Paradise Palms.  Just love the subtle palm trees on the white background!  Beautiful!  

Emily's sweet baby card featuring Winged Wishes (retiring--be sure to grab your set before it's too late) would be perfect to welcome any baby girl!

Andrea inks a beautiful background to compliment Newton from Newton Loves Cake as he enjoys a scrumptious birthday cupcake!

Zsofia has created this amazingly vibrant card using Flower Garden (retiring--be sure to grab your set before they are gone).  Striking!

Debbie uses Darling Duos to create a sweet, romantic card. 

I hope this project has inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, July 14, 2017 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.

Tessa Wise created this fun using our Love Grows set. What a perfect card for Mother's Day!

Design Team Member, Christine Drogt created this fun using our Love Grows Set. I love those watercolored roses! So pretty! 

Larissa Heskett created this pretty card using the mason jar and flower from the Versatile Vases set. She also used the doodle line stamp from the Love à la Carte stamp set to make the fun pattern on the bottom! 

Here's one from me - I created this spring tulip card using the Easter Scramble set. To stamp the fill on the tulips, I just flipped the stamp over and used the back side of the stamp to create a solid shape!

And one more - for this one, I used the vases from the Versatile Vases set and paper-pierced them to add some simple color to this card. I colored the flowers with copics. 

Now it's your turn!
