Inky Paws Challenge #242 - Color Challenge Week 2

 Hi everyone!  This is Week 2 of the Inky Paws Challenge!  It is a Color Challenge.  The colors are Cotton Candy Pink, Orange Sherbet, Turquoise, and Royal Blue.  You have until Friday, August 1st 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 used the Tropical Leaves Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Kitsch Flamingo and Dried Marigold on smooth white cardstock to create the background.  I then die cut it using the Fractured Card Layout Die. 

I stamped out this adorable jeep from the Beach Bound Stamp Set, colored it with copic markers, and cut it out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I die cut a banner for the sentiment using the stitched fishtail banner die from the Banner Trio Die Set.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Beach Bound Stamp Set, in black pigment ink and clear heat embossed for some shine!  I then blended on some Kitsch Flamingo around the edges.  

I assembled my card using light blue cardstock for the base, and popped up the jeep and sentiment banner with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card, I added a little glitter with a glitter pen and a few sparkling sequins!  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!

Inky Paws Challenge #155 - Color Challenge

 Hi everybody!  A new Inky Paws Challenge starts today!  It is a Color Challenge.  The colors are Teal, Yellow, White, and Green.  You have until Friday, August 27th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  Don't you just love this color combo?

To start this card I cut a teal A2 size cardbase.  Using the scalloped frame die from the Frames and Flags Die Set I cut a piece of smooth white cardstock on which I used the Tropical Leaves Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Salvaged Patina.

I used the largest smooth stitched circle die in the Circles Frames Die Set to cut a piece of smooth white cardstock on which I blended Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. 

Next, I stamped out this adorable Newton image from the Aloha Newton Stamp Set, colored him with Copic markers, and cut him out with the coordinating die set.  

I used a banner die from the Frames and Flags Die Set to cut a piece of teal cardstock on which I white heat embossed the sentiment and the edges of the banner.  

With all my pieces complete, I assembled my card.  I adhered my leafy background to the teal cardbase, and the stitched circle to the background.  I then used thin foam tape to adhere the sentiment banner, and foam squares to pop up Newton for some dimension!
