Inky Paws Challenge #252 - Sketch Challenge Week 2

 Hi everybody!  This is Week 2 of the Inky Paws Challenge!  It is a Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, May 29th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  I made this card for my Mom for Mother's Day!

To start this card I picked out the papers I wanted to use for the background from the Spring Blooms Paper Pad.  The card measures 5" x 6.5".  The yellow gingham paper is cut to 5" x 3", the floral pattern paper is cut to 2.5" x 5.5", and cloud pattern paper is cut to 2.5" x 3".  The yellow glitter paper is from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and is cut with the small banner die from the Frames and Flags Die Set. 

Next, I stamped out these gorgeous images from the Floral Delights Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Best Mom Oval, directly onto the cloud pattern paper and white heat embossed.

I assembled my card according to the sketch, using kraft cardstock for the base, and popped up the images with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added some glitter 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!

Inky Paws Challenge #241 - Sunny Days Theme Week 1

 Hi everybody!  A new Inky Paws Challenge starts today!  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 cloud paper for my background from the Springtime Paper Pad and cut it to A2 size.  I then used the Lattice Die to cut a piece of smooth white cardstock and lightly blended on some Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Ink.

Next, I stamped out these gorgeous images from the Floral Delights Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I then used the ticket shape die from the Framework Die Set to cut out a piece of white cardstock, and blended some Weathered Wood on it as well.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Floral Delights Stamp Set, in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!

I assembled my card, tucking the flowers into the lattice, and popping up the butterflies, bee, and sentiment 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!
