Inky Paws Challenge #244 - Fall/Halloween Theme Challenge

My daughter and I are already trying to figure out when we'll decorate for Halloween. So it seemed only right to make a Halloween card for this weeks inspiration post.

I stamped the adorable kitty with the stack of jack-o-lanterns from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night Stamp Set. I die cut it using the coordinating dies from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night Die Set. And then I colored it up with my Copic markers.

Copic markers used:

Kitty: C0, C2, R00, R20

Jack-o-lanterns: YR000, YR21, YR15, RV10, RV02, RV14, Y11, Y08, E21, E25

Crow: N2, N4, N6

I also stamped the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set on white card stock and die cut it using a die from the Oval Frames Die Set. I blended Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges keeping it darker around the edge and lightening my touch into the center. I die cut three bats using the bat die from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night Die Set.

I trimmed the argyle papers from the Halloween Party 6x6 Paper Pad to 4 x 5-1/4" and adhered it to a white A2 top fold card base. I adhered the oval to the card along with the bats. And then I popped up the kitty and the sentiment with foam tape.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a card using this month's fun Fall/Halloween theme. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Paws Challenge #208 ~ Halloween Theme Challenge Reminder

 Hello there crafty friend!

 There's still time to play along with the Inky Paws Challenge #208 - Halloween Theme Challenge!! You have until this coming Friday, October 13th to get your entries in for this fun challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #208 - Halloween Theme Challenge

Loving all the pumpkins in the badge for this challenge... I just had to feature some fun jack-o-lanterns for my card this week!

I pulled out a couple of fun pattern papers from the Halloween Meows 6x6 Paper Pad. I cut the background paper to cover the front of my card base. It measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I cut the orange jack-o-lantern paper to 2-1/4 x 3". The black mat is just a tad bigger at 2-3/8 x 3-1/8". The two green papers are scraps I had leftover. They're approximately 1/2" x 3". I cut fishtails on the ends and adhered them together.

The adorable kitty and pumpkin from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin Stamp Set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it up with my Copic markers {listed below}. I then fussy cut the kitty on the black line and colored the edge with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. This helps the image look nice around the edges. I adhered the kitty to a piece of vellum that I had die cut this a stitched oval from the Oval Frames Die Set. 

Copic Markers I used to color up the kitty and pumpkin:

Kitty: C00, C1, C3, R00, R20

Hat: YG21, YG11, YG13, C00, C1, C3, C5

Pumpkin: YR21, YR15, YR68, YR27, E51, E55, E57

To add a little fun touch to the card, I die cut two bats using one of the bat dies from the Witchy Newton Die Set. I chose a cute sentiment from the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set and colored 'trick' with YG21, YG11 and YG13. I trimmed it up and mat it on a piece of black card stock and then I adhered it to the card. I did add a couple scraps under the left side of the sentiment so it would lay flat on the card. 

Inspiration for my card came from the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 15. This has been such a fun sketch. It works great with a small image and a great mix of papers for a background.

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