Inky Paws #35 Favorites

We also wanted to share a couple more entries that we really loved! We chose THREE more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

This card by Shelly made us smile! We loved the simplicity of the card and how well the swatch of messy burlap went with the raccoon from our new Raccoon Rascals stamp set! 

This lovely card by Juilien caught our eye too. We love how she was inspired by the challenge to use a lace butterfly embellishment that went just right with the butterflies from our  Beautiful Wings stamp set! 

Another favorite was this trio of candy bar wrappers by Annie.  We love how used the burlap and lace to wrap these yummy treats! She also used the cute pumpkins from our Pick-a-Pumpkin stamp set!
