Inky Paws Challenge #251 - Color Challenge Week 3

  Hi everybody!  This is Week 3 of the Inky Paws Challenge!  It is a Color Challenge.  The colors are Magenta, Turquoise, Purple, and Bright Yellow.  You have until Friday, May 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 cut a piece of smooth white cardstock to A2 size and used the Retro Vibes Stencil Set to create the background.  For layer one I used Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, and Shaded Lilac.  For layer two I blended on Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, and Wilted Violet.  I then used the Card Layout 4 Die to create the turquoise frame.

I stamped out this super cute image of the kitties and cakes, and the party hats, from Newton's Birthday Delights Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.  

Next, I used the small banner die from the Frames and Flags Die Set to cut a piece of turquoise cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Party On! Stamp Set, and white heat embossed.

I assembled my card using a turquoise cardbase 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, a bit of glitter, 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!

To start this card I picked out the papers I wanted to use from the Birthday Party Paper Pad.  This card measures 5" x 6.5".  The balloon paper is cut to 5" x 3", the party hat paper is cut to 3" x 3" and the confetti paper is cut to 2.75" x 1.75".  The lime colored papers are all cut to one quarter inch larger on each side to create a border around the patterned papers.  

I stamped this super cute image of the kitties and their tower of ice cream cones from Newton's Birthday Delights Stamp Set.  I colored the image with copic markers and cut it out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Birthday Delights Stamp Set, onto blue cardstock and white heat embossed.  I then fussy cut around the sentiment.

I assembled my card according to the sketch and 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, a bit of glitter on the sprinkles, and glossy accents to the kitties' 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!
