Inky Paws Challenge #203 - Color Challenge

Here's another look at the fun colors... Watermelon Red, Flamingo Pink, Parakeet Green, and Sea Foam Blue.

A caffeinated CAS birthday card today featuring the adorable kitty from the Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set! I found that Abandoned Coral and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks blend to make a lovely Watermelon Red. It's pretty bold on the card but I think it draws the eye directly to the kitty. I stamped the adorable kitty in the center of my white card stock panel measuring 4 x 5-1/4". I also stamped the kitty a second time on a scrap piece of white card stock. Using a large post it note I masked the top portion of the first stamped panel covering the kitty just along the black line. I blended the oxides along the post it note and down - kinda like an ombre blend to create a table for the kitty to peek over at the coffee.

We recently adopted a sweet kitty named Quinn and I colored up my stamped kitty to look a bit like her. Quinn has become a part of the family. We just love her.

What do you think? I guess I could have gone a bit darker with my grays but I think it's similar enough. Anywho, Quinn loves the smell of coffee... at least she's always up on the counter sniffing the coffee pot. LOL! So I thought this stamp was perfect to color up in her likeness. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the kitty on the scrap white card stock:

Kitty ~ N0, N2, N4, C00, C1, C3, YR0000, YR21, YR12, R00, R20

Mug ~ BG000, BG02, G000, G14, E21, E25

I fussy cut the kitty and mug on the line and then colored up the edges with the side of my Memento Tuxedo Black marker. This is a great tip to make those edges look nice and neat. I then paper pieced the kitty on the panel by adhering it over the other stamped kitty. I die cut the paper pieced panel using the stitched rectangle die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of the panel and popped it up on the card. Finished off the card by adding a few pink enamel dots - which also rounded out my color combo for the card. I love how this card turned out.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project with the color combo of Watermelon Red, Flamingo Pink, Parakeet Green, and Sea Foam Blue. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!
