Inky Paws Challenge #232 - Cozy Fall Theme Challenge

Such a fun theme!! I got so excited because our weather was cooling off and now we have a 90 degree day with the heat index putting us in the 100s. Ugh. I can't wait for Fall!

I started with my background using the Falling Leaves Stencil. I blended Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, and Vintage Photo Distress Inks over the stencil onto Kraft card stock. I also splattered a bit of Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the background. I die cut the background using the largest die from the Framework Die Set. Adhered it to a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8" piece of Dark Chocolate card stock from Papertrey Ink. I also die cut a scalloped frame using a die from that same set. I adhered the leaf panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2".

I stamped the cute book reading kitty from Newton's Reading List Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. And then I had fun coloring it up with Copic markers. Once I was happy with my coloring I die cut the kitty using the coordinating Newton's Reading List Die Set. I also stamped one of the cute mugs from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set, colored it up and then die cut it using the coordinating Cup of Cocoa Die Set that just arrived with my order! Yay for new crafty goodies! I used a sentiment from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set for the book cover. I love how it ties the images together!

I adhered the mug to the kitty and books. And then I adhered the ensemble to the frame. I added a whole bunch of foam tape to the back of the kitty ensemble and frame and then popped it up on the card. All that was left was a fall sentiment. So I went looking through the awesome new Autumn Reads Stamp Set and found the perfect sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment on the same Dark Chocolate card stock that I had die cut using a die from the Framework Die Set. I prepped the card stock with the TE Anti-Static Powder Tool from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the sentiments using Sugar Cube White Pigment ink, also from Taylored Expressions. I then dusted the ink with Alabaster White Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe and melted the powder with a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. Once it was cooled, I wiped off the remaining anti static powder using a microfiber cloth. I added foam to the back of the sentiment around the frame and then popped it up on the card.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project with a Summer theme. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!
