Inky Paws Challenge #230 - Color Challenge Reminder Post

 Hi everybody!  This is an Inky Paws Challenge reminder post!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #230 - Color Challenge.  The colors are Eggplant, Raspberry, Apricot, and Jade Green.  You have until Friday, August 30th 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 die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock using the scalloped frame die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I then used the Butterflies Stencil Set with Distress Oxide Inks Wilted Violet for Layer One, and Seedless Preserves for Layer 2, to create a beautiful background!  I used a stitched oval die from the Oval Frames Die Set to cut a piece of vellum on which I wanted to place my image.

I then stamped out this gorgeous image from Newton's Blooms Stamp Set and colored it with copic markers.  I cut it out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Blooms Stamp Set, on green cardstock and white heat embossed.  I then fussy cut around the sentiment.

I assembled my card using green cardstock for the base.  I popped up the image and sentiment with foam tape for some dimension! 

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

I started this card by picking out the polka dot patterned paper from the Bright Basics Paper Pad to use for the background.  I cut it out using the large zig zag frame from the Frames and Tags Die Set.  I then cut out the green window frames using the window frame die from the same die set.

Next, I stamped out this super cute image of Newton reading his book from Newton's Reading List Stamp Set.  I also stamped out the smaller books, alarm clock, and coffee cup from the Never Enough Books Stamp Set.  I colored all of the images with copic markers and cut them out using their coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Reading List Stamp Set, directly onto the cover of the book in black pigment ink.

I assembled my card using a green cardbase.  I adhered the window frames and images with foam tape for some dimension!
