Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 36 ~ August & September 2025 KOMs ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I hope you're having a great day! Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 36 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up a couple fun Halloween stamps from last month's and this month's Kit of the Month memberships from Unity Stamp Co.

I was inspired to not only use this fun new sketch, but I also was determined to finish off those paper scraps I opened up last month. Not sure which papers I'm talking about...?! You can check out the cards from last month here... TOPII Sketch 35 Halloween Scraps Cards. My first card features the adorable birdie in the ghost costume from the August 2025 KOM called Season of Soft & Spooky.

Copics used for the ghost birdie: YG00, YG21, V12, V06, YR21, YR15, YR68. And I used a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen to add the highlights to the eye holes.

I had plenty of scraps to make more than one card, so I just kept going! My second card also features a birdie from the August 2025 KOM called Season of Soft & Spooky. I chose plain old orange card bases for these cards. They could easily be jazzed up with dry embossed backgrounds. It was a nice change for me just using a card base that wasn't white, black or kraft... lol!

Copic markers used for the witch birdie: V12, V06, YR20, YR15, YR68, C0, C2.

My third card features the adorable bat birdie also from the August 2025 KOM called Season of Soft & Spooky. These adorable birdies are also available separately in the Creep it Tweet stamps. I die cut each of the birds from white card stock using a die from either the Grunge Cuts {tag dies} or Distressed Tickets {ticket dies}. And I distressed them with my black blending brush with minimal ink.

Copics used for the bat birdie: V12, V06, C0, C2, YR21, YR15.

I had just four scraps left so I revisited the old TOPII Sketch 28 for my fourth card. I adhered the scraps directly to the orange card base. I stamped, Copic colored and fussy cut the kitty from the September 2025 KOM called Harvest to Holiday. I popped up all of the images and the sentiments with foam tape.

Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used: 

Cat: YR20, YR21, YR15, YR27

Cat Eyes: C0, C2

Hat: V000, V12, V06, YG00, YG21, YG11, C0, C3, C5, C7

Cape: YG00, YG21, YG11

Broom: E21, E25, YG11

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 36. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I came up with this card design when I was using up scraps. You can check out the original card here... February Scraps Cards.

 It always feels so good to use up those scraps! And I have four cute cards to add to my Halloween stash! I think this will be a really fun sketch to play with for the next four weeks! Lots of possibilities and we can use up some more of those scraps! I hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an INKredible week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
