 Hi everyone!  This is Week 3 of the Inky Paws Challenge!  It is Sunny Days Theme.  You have until Friday, June 27th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!

To start this card I picked out the paper I wanted to use for my background from the Summertime Paper Pad, and die cut it using large zig zag frame die from the Frames and Tags Die Set.  I used the frame with 3 windows die from the same set to cut out the kraft paper windows.  

Next, I stamped out this super cute image of Newton, his sunglasses, and the shells from the Newton's Happy Meowr Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and fussy cut them out.  I stamped the flip-flops from the Flip-Flop Life Stamp Set, colored them with copics as well, and cut them out with their coordinating die set.  I used the Sky Scene Builder Die Set to cut the sun out of smooth white cardstock, and blended on some Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Happy Meowr Stamp Set, onto one of the kraft pieces left over from die cutting the windows.  I stamped it in brown pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!

I assembled my card using kraft paper for the base, and popped up the windows and images with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card, I added accents with a white gel pen and a little bit of glitter!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sunny Days Theme using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
