Inky Paws Challenge #210 - Sketch Challenge

 Hi everybody!  A new Inky Paws Challenge starts today!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #210 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, November 10th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  I had to squeeze in one last Halloween Card this year!

I started this card by picking out all of the papers I wanted to use and cutting them to size.  The black cardbase is 5" x 7", the purple cardstock is 4.5" x 6.5", the candy patterned paper is from the Halloween Meows Paper Pad and measures 1.5" x 5.5", the polka dot paper is from the Halloween Woofs Paper Pad and measures 1.25" x 3.5", and the spider patterned paper is also from the Halloween Meows Paper Pad and measures 2.75" x 3.75".

Next, I stamped out this adorable image from the Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set, colored it with copic markers, and cut it out using the coordinating die set.

For the sentiment, I die cut a stitched circle from black cardstock using a die from the Circle Frames Die Set.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set, and white heat embossed.

I assembled my card adhering all of the layers together, and popped up the image and sentiment circle with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, glitter, glossy accents on their cute little noses, 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 #159 - Sketch Challenge

 Hi everyone!  A new Inky Paws Challenge starts today!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #159 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, October 22nd 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 5" x 7" cardbase out of black cardstock.  I then cut a 2" x 7" black cardstock strip on which I stamped and white heat embossed images from the Spooky Roundabout Stamp Set.  Next, I cut a piece of purple cardstock to 3" x 5".  I used the small stitched square die from the Frames Squared Die Set to cut a piece of smooth white cardstock on which I blended Distress Oxide Inks Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Prize Ribbon.  I then splattered my ink blended piece with white paint.  After the paint had dried, I decided to add some grass using the Hills & Grass Stencil and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  

Next, I stamped out the super cute image from the Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set, colored it with Copic markers, and cut it out with the coordinating die set.  I then decided to add the moon, which is from the Brooms & Boos Stamp Set, and I cut it out with its coordinating die.  

For the sentiment, I used the largest stitched circle in the Frames Squared Die Set to cut a piece of black cardstock.  I white heat embossed the sentiment, from the Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set, and the edges of the circle as well.  

Next, I adhered all of my layers together, using different thicknesses of foam tape to adhere the sentiment circle and images!

For finishing touches on this card I added glitter with a glitter pen, accents with a white gel pen, and glossy accents to their cute noses!  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!
