Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ November Girl ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up an oldie but a goodie stamp from my stash... the beautiful November Girl from Unity.

I had stamped this beauty probably last year but the project I wanted to use her for went in a different direction. She was perfect for my card today though. I used paper scraps from my stash to make my background. These papers are from the plaid papers I used earlier in the month for this card... HERE. I thought I'd use some of the scraps for my card today.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. 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 used the measurements on the sketch for my card today.

I colored up November Girl with similar colors to the papers but with a pop of blue and teal. I had fun coloring this one with my Copic markers.

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

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: C0, C5, C7

Bird: Y11, Y15, B000, B91

Sprig: R14, G82, G94

Hat / Mittens / Boots: E21, E23, E25

Jacket: BG10, BG70, BG72, BG75

Sweater: Y15, Y38

Jeans: B91, B93, B95, B97

Pumpkins: YR20, YR15, YR68, UR27, BG000, BG01, BG72, E21, E25, G82, G94

Scarf: YR20, YR15, R14, R37

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed each of the words and adhered them to the card. I fussy cut November Girl and popped her up with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with brown enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ Hexes & Hugs ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the cute yet grumpy monster from the Hexes & Hugs stamps from Unity for a fun Halloween card.

I had this cute monster stamped and fussy cut already on my desk from a project that didn't happen. Sooo... I thought I'd use it for a Halloween card. I started with my background. I pulled out the Haunted Hues {paper pack} and cut some layers for my card. I adhered them all together and decided to flip the sketch to see how it would look. 

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. 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 used the measurements on the sketch for my card today and as I mentioned above, I flipped the sketch.

I colored up the witch monster and the crescent moon with Copic markers and used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. Doing this neatens up the fussy cutting. I die cut a circle from black card stock using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I popped up the circle on the card with foam tape.

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

Witch Monster: B000, B91, B93

Eyes: Y11

Hair: N2, N4, N6

Hat: YR20, YR15, YR68, N2, N4, N6, Y15

Dress: YR20, YR15, YR68

Broom: E11, E25

Pumpkin: YG11, YG03

Moon: Y11, Y15

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. Another Halloween card for my stash! I'm having so much fun with this sketch! I hope you can find time to play along. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ Spore the Love ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the super cute 'shroom from the Spore the Love stamps from Unity. It's also available in the July 2025 KOM called Feelin' Fall the Things.

As been my habit of late, I started with the background for this card. I just received the Spore the Love Coordinating {paper pack} in an order and I couldn't wait to use them! Since it's a new paper pack I didn't use scraps... but now that I've cut into these papers, I do have some scraps. Haha! 

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. 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 used the measurements on the sketch for my card today.

Since I cut into the Spore the Love Coordinating {paper pack} it was only natural that I ink up the adorable 'shroom from the Spore the Love stamps! I LOVE this cutie!! I stamped the mushroom with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with Copic markers. I fussy cut the 'shroom leaving a white border and popped it up on the card with foam tape.

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

'Shroom: W0, W2, W3, YR14, E17

Flowers: Y11, Y15, YR20, YR23, YR15

Greenery: BG10, BG72

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and popped it up on the card with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with a few enamel dots from my stash. I'm having so much fun with this sketch! I hope you can find time to play along. Have an ink-tastic week!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ Halloween Scraps Cards

 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 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up a couple fun Halloween stamps in my stash.

And I found some fun Halloween papers in my stash {from my days DTing with Scrapping for Less... way back when - sadly, they are retired} that I think I'm going to try to use up over the next couple of weeks. There wasn't a lot left. I used the larger pieces for these two cards.

For my first card I inked up a cute kitty stamp from Sunny Studio Stamp called Scaredy Cat. This cute stamp came in the kit that the papers came in so I thought I'd use it. It's really cute and it looks like it's on sale along with the coordinating dies over at Sunny Studio Stamps.

I fussy cut the kitty on the line {except around the whiskers} and then colored the edges with a black marker. I popped up the cat and the sentiment on the card with foam tape. I finished off the card with a few glitter enamel dots that had also come in the kit.

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

Cat: C0, C2, N0, N2, N4, N6, R00, R20

Cat Eyes: YG11, YG09

Pumpkin: YR20, YR15, YR68

Pumpkin Face: Y11, Y15

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. 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. I'm excited to use up some scraps!

And for my second card, I inked up the adorable gnome witch from the Witch Way stamps from Unity Stamp Co. She's one of my favorite Halloween stamps. I inked her up with Black Amalgam ink and then colored her with Copic markers. I fussy cut this one too coloring up the black edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker and avoiding the white edges of her curls.

Here's a quick list of the Copics I used for the gnome witch:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: C0, C2

Hat: YG11, YG09, V12, V15, V17

Dress: YR20, YR15

Shoes: N0, N2, N4, N6

Cauldron: V12, V15, V17, N2, N4

Broom: E11, E25, N2, N4

I popped up the gnome witch and sentiment again with foam tape. And then I finished off the card with some green enamel dots that were also in that old SFL kit. 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 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 34 Extended ~ Spectrum Gardenia ~ 49 and Market

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's been a busy summer and I'm having so much fun with TOPII Sketch 34 that I've decided to extend this challenge for a few extra weeks. Today I'm sharing more inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 34 Extended in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. Absolutely no stamping or coloring for this card!

I used papers from the Spectrum Gardenia 12 x 12 Collection from 49 and Market. The white distressed background paper measures 5-1/2 x 4-1/4". The orange strips measure 3/4 x 

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 34 Extended. 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 turned the sketch today and moved the sentiment.

And the cluster of ephemera is from the coordinating Spectrum Gardenia Ephemera Bits pack. I wrote 'Love' on the tab and stapled it to the ephemera using the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tiny Attacher Mini Stapler. The sentiment is adhered directly to the ephemera piece and the butterfly was popped up with foam tape.

I adhered the four orange strips to the card and popped up the large ephemera piece with foam tape. I'm having a blast with this sketch! Now there's more time to play along... I hope you'll join in the fun! Have an ink-tastic week!

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some fun inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 34 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I found this sweet stamp already inked up and sitting on my desk so I thought I'd color it up. It's from the September 2024 Kit of the Month called Wander and Wonder from Unity.

My process:

• Die cut with a square die from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies}
• The papers are scraps from the Autumn Vibes Paper Pad from Not 2 Shabby
• I trimmed the lengths of the scraps to 3-7/8" and 4"
• Adhered the scraps to a Kraft A2 top fold card turned on it's side for a landscape card
• Trimmed the sentiment and distressed the edges of the sentiment and pumpkin square with Vintage Photo Distress Ink
• Adhered the sentiment to the pumpkin square
• Added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and the pumpkin square and popped it up on the card
• Finished it off with a few glitter enamel dots

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 34. 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 adjusted my design this time by turning it.

 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 34 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up one of the new fabulous chickens from the Still Peckin' Fabulous stamps from Unity. 

First of all, that sentiment!!! LOL! Hilarious! I love it! I stamped the chicken and the sentiment on scraps of white card stock. I colored the images up with Copic Markers. I die cut the chicken using a die from the Grunge Cuts {tag dies}.

I really need to get back to using up my scraps so I'm really excited for this sketch.

I pulled these scraps right out of my Oh Hey! It's Your Day! {paper pack}. I left the widths as they were but trimmed the ends to 3-3/4". I love how quick this card came together with a fun embossing folder for the background and with some scraps. I used the Confetti embossing folder from Stampin' Up. The ribbon is also from SU, it's the Wild Wasabi Grosgrain Stitched ribbon. I stapled it to the tag using the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tiny Attacher Stapler.

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 scraps! I hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an INKredible week!
