Inky Paws Challenge #140 - Color Challenge Reminder

 Hi everybody!  Don't forget you have until Friday, January 29th to get your entries into Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #140 - Color Challenge.  The colors are teal, red, pink, and white.

I just love this stamp!  Newton is so cute holding that huge heart!  I started by cutting a teal cardbase to A2 size.  I used the largest die in NND Framework die set to cut a piece of smooth white cardstock on which I used NND Tumbling Hearts stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers.  I cut a piece of vellum using the stitched rectangle die in NND Frames and Flags die set. I then adhered it over my stenciling to soften the background and to help my stamped image stand out more.

Next, I stamped the adorable image from NND Newton's Valentine stamp set, colored it with Copic markers, and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I used two of the banner dies from NND Frames and Flags die set to cut a larger red glitter banner and a white banner for the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment in red pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!  I then inked the edges of the banner with the same red ink.  I adhered the red glitter banner directly onto my card, and used thin foam tape to adhere the sentiment banner.  I then attached my colored image with foam tape for dimension!

Copic colors used for Newton:

• N0, N1, N2
• Nose - R01
• Ears and Beans - R00, R01, R02

Heart:

• RV000, RV00, RV10, RV21, RV23, N1, N2

Flower:

• RV10, RV21, RV23
• R00, R12

Bird:

• R05, R24, R47, R46, N2
• YR21

For finishing touches on this card I added a few sparkling iridescent crystals to the background, and glitter and glossy accents to the heart.  I also added glossy accents to Newton's nose, beans, the flower center, and to the bird's beak.  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Color Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Make sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
