Inky Paws Challenge #191 - Color Challenge

How amazing are these colors... Cherry Red, Pewter Gray, Daffodil Yellow, and White.

I wanted to go with a simple card design with almost a CAS {Clean & Simple} vibe. I actually was thinking about leaving my background completely white, but then I saw the envelope pattern paper in the adorable Love & Meows 6x6 paper pad. Since it has a lot of white I think I've still achieved at least a CAS vibe.

I die cut the cute gray paws pattern paper from the same paper pad using the third largest die in the Circle Frames die set. It almost looks like my kitty is laying on a rug. So cute! Confession... I got a little confused while making my card. I mixed up the Love Theme challenge with the Color Challenge so I originally die cut a striped heart for my card. When I started taking photos of my card, I remembered... lol. So I die cut the cute little heart from yellow pattern paper from the Springtime 6x6 paper pad. I adhered it right over the striped heart. An easy peasy fix!

I stamped the sweet kitty from the Newton's Heart stamp set using Memento Tuxedo black ink. And I die cut the kitty using the coordinating Newton's Heart die set. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up my kitty:

Fur ~ C00, C1, C3

Ears / Nose / Pads ~ R00, R20

Heart ~ R20, R14, R27

My card design was inspired by Sketch 8 that I shared recently in my Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I like to share sketches just for fun to inspire creativity when we find ourselves in a bit of a rut.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the color combo of Cherry Red, Pewter Gray, Daffodil Yellow, and White. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
