Inky Paws Challenge #228 - Sketch Challenge Reminder Post

   Hi everybody!  This is an Inky Paws Challenge reminder post!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #228 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, August 2nd to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  

I started this card by cutting patterned papers from the Summertime Paper Pad to match the Sketch.  I used a 5" x 7" kraft cardbase, and cut the beach ball piece to 1.75" x 5.75", the flip-flop piece to 2" x 4.5", the striped piece to 5" x 1.5" and the sun and cloud piece to 3" x 3.5". 

Next, I stamped out this adorable image of Newton and the seashell from Newton's Happy Meowr Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers, and fussy cut them out because I don't have the die set.  You can get the die set here.

For the sentiment, I die cut a piece of kraft cardstock with the fishtail banner die from the Banner Trio Die Set. I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Happy Meowr Stamp Set, in brown pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!

I assembled my card following the Sketch, and popped up the images and sentiment banner with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen and some glitter!  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!

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Birthday Mice Stamp Set, in the center of the oval in black pigment ink, and clear heat embossed for some shine!
