Inky Paws Challenge #201 ~ Sketch Challenge Reminder

 Hello there crafty friend!

 There's still time to play along with the Inky Paws Challenge #201!! You have until this coming Friday, July 7th to get your entries in for this fun sketch challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Today I'm sharing a fun birthday card using the sketch for the current challenge. Can never have enough birthday cards! And if it includes a punny sentiment I am all in!! I love them!

I have had the Newton Loves Tacos Stamp Set in my stash now for awhile but this is my first time using it and I can't wait to play with it some more. I stamped the sweet kitty and party hat with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with my Copic markers. I die cut them using the coordinating Newton Loves Tacos Die Set. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used for this stamp:

Kitty ~ N0, N2, N4, C00, C1, R00, R20

Hat ~ YG11, YG05, R00, R20, YR21, YR23, Y15

Taco ~ YG11, YG05, R00, R20, R17, Y000, YR0000, YR21, YR23, Y15, Y35

I paired up these cute stamps with the super sweet, or maybe I should say purr-fect A Cat's Life 6x6 Paper Pad. The plaid layer measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and is adhered to a white A2 top fold card base. I die cut the orange paw print paper using the large rectangle die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I laid the sentiment and blue paw print with hearts papers over the die cut rectangle and laid the die over top. I then secured the paper strips to the die and die cut them, as well. 

When I don't want to cover up my pretty papers I like to use a vellum mat or layer for my focal image. I die cut my vellum card stock using a scalloped die from the Oval Frames Die Set. I adhered the die cut kitty to the vellum. I then adhered the oval to the card by only putting glue behind the die cut kitty. To finish off the card, I die cut a piece of white card stock with the banner die from the Frames & Flags Die Set and stamped the sentiment. I trimmed it up and adhered it directly to the card.
