Inky Paws Challenge #180 - Sketch Challenge

 Hi everybody!  A new Inky Paws Challenge starts today!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #180 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, August 26th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  I know the Sketch is horizontal, but as soon as I saw it I thought of this little gnome and had to flip the Sketch!

To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock using a stitched oval die from the Oval Frames Die Set.  I used the Clouds Stencil with Distress Oxide Ink Salvaged Patina to create the background.  

I stamped out this super cute gnome and ladybug from the Gnome Garden Stamp Set, colored them with copic markers, and cut them out using the coordinating die set.  

I used a fishtail banner die from the Frames and Flags Die Set to cut a sentiment banner.  I white heat embossed the sentiment, also from the Gnome Garden Stamp Set.  

I assembled my card using butterfly patterned paper from the Springtime Paper Pad, textured teal cardstock, and a strip of silver glitter cardstock.  I then adhered the oval and popped up the images and sentiment banner for some dimension! 

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, glossy accents on the ladybug, and a few sparkling sequins!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
