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!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 28 ~ Curlers & Catitude Pissy Kitty ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a bit more inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 28 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I couldn't resist inking up the new Curlers & Catitude Pissy Kitty from Unity... HILARIOUS!! I love it!

I still have a few scraps of the papers I'm trying to finish off from last month... or was it November I opened these up to finish off? Not sure. But I needed a break from the wintry theme so I found my favorite love papers and just happened to have some scraps that work perfectly with this sketch! The fabulous Curlers & Catitude Pissy Kitty is stamped with Amalgam Black ink and then colored up with Copic markers.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Kitty: N0, N2, N4

Nose / Ears: R00, R20, C00, C2

Eyes: YG11, G14, G05

Curlers: R81, R83, R85 

Mug: YG93, YG95, YG97

Steam: C00, C2

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 28. 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 sure hope you'll join us in the challenge. I know we all have scrap papers that would work great with this sketch.

This is a super simple card for the sketch. As I already mentioned, my pattern papers from the Enveloped in Love {paper pack} are random sizes. I adhered them all to a larger piece of pattern paper that measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". The card front is adhered to a white A2 top fold card base. And I popped up the kitty and the sentiment using foam tape.

I'm having so much fun with this sketch! 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!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 28 ~ Holiday Reboot Kit ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge! Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 28 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Another great sketch for scraps! I inked up an adorable stamp from the recently released Holiday Reboot Kit from The Greeting Farm.

Isn't she just darling?! I love her adorable hat! I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her up with a bunch of Copic Markers.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R00, R20

Hair: E70, E71, E74

Hat: C00, C2, C3, C4

Sweater: R20, R14, R27, C00, C2, C3, C4

Jeans: B91, B93, B95

Boots: N2, N4, N6

Present: YG11, G24, G46

Bow: Y11, Y15, Y28

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 28. 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 feel my cards are a good example of that, as I'm always making adjustments. I literally used paper scraps for my background on this card.

The fun sentiment is also from the Holiday Reboot Kit. I trimmed it up and added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and the fussy cut girl. To clean up the fussy cutting, I colored the edges with a black marker.

To finish off the card I added a few confetti pieces from the White Glossy Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs. I think this will be a fun sketch! I hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
