Inky Paws Challenge #238 - Sketch Challenge

This has been such a fun challenge! I hope you have a chance to play along with us if you haven't already! There's just a few days left to play!

I adore the sweet doxie from the Rainy Day Doxie Stamp Set so I just had to ink him up again. I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him up with Copic markers. I then die cut the image using the coordinating Rainy Day Doxie Die Set.

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

Doxie: E21, E13, E17, N2, N4, N6

Jacket: Y11, Y15, B0000, B00

Umbrella: V000, V01, V12, C00, C2, C3

I paired up the sweet pup with the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad. Daisies are my favorite flowers! So I thought it would be fun to use a couple daisy papers from the paper pad to create my card.

I die cut the background paper using the largest die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I then die cut the daisy scene paper using a square die from the Frames Squared Die Set. I had originally chosen the yellow pattern paper with daisies for my strip across the card, but I think it was too much daisies. If that's even possible! LOL! So I changed it out with the gingham yellow papers which just happened to be a scrap in my paper pad. I added some dimension to the card by popping up the square focal image with the sentiment adhered to the bottom corner AND popping up the pup, all with foam tape.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the fun sketch. 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 238 ~ Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge {Week 3}

Hello there crafty friend!

 Sharing some more inspiration for week 3 of the Inky Paws Challenge #238 - Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge! You have until Friday, March 28th to get your entries in for the challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #238 - Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge

The weather is definitely shifting into Spring and I just had to color up another flower stamp.

I stamped the gorgeous Cherry Blossom Stamp Set three times on white card stock and colored them up with Copic markers. I die cut each of them using the coordinating Cherry Blossom Die Set.

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

Petals: RV0000, RV10, RV02, RV14

Stems: E21, E23

Background: BG10, BG01

I had some of the postage cut outs in my stash {the little rectangles} from another project so I colored them up with a couple of Copic markers and then I adhered the cherry blossoms to them trimming off the excess with my scissors. I tried to change up the position of the blossoms so each one is a little different.

And then I had to die cut the frame again from the Postage Stamp Layout Die... so I have six more of those postage cut outs. LOL! Oh well, I'll figure out another use for them. I adhered the frame to a Kraft A2 card base and then I adhered each of the postage cherry blossoms. I stamped, trimmed, and popped up the sentiment using foam tape to finish off this pretty card.

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 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 238 - Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge

I am loving this fun theme challenge! I hope you have some time to play along with us.

I stamped the cute daisies from the Dainty Daisies Stamp Set on a scrap of white card stock and die cut it using the coordinating dies from the Dainty Daisies Die Set. I had fun coloring the daisies a pinky purple. 

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

Petals: RV10, RV11, V12, V15

Flower Centers: Y11, Y15

Leaves / Stems: YG11, YG23, YG17

I set the daisies aside and blended some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the Petite Clouds Stencil. I kept a light touch around the edges. And then I blended Mowed Lawn Distress Ink over the grass side of the Hills & Grass Stencil.

I die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die from the Basic Frames Die Set. I adhered all of my layers to a white A2 top fold card base. I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and popped it up on the card using foam tape. I finished off the card with a few translucent enamel dots from my stash.

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

Inky Paws Challenge 238 ~ Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge {Week 1}

 Hello there crafty friend!

You have until Friday, March 28th to get your entries in for the #238 Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #238 - Showers & Flowers

This will be a fun challenge! I'm excited to see the variety of cards that will be entered.

I stamped the adorable Newton's Rain Boots Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it up with Copic markers. It's die cut using the coordinating Newton's Rain Boots Die Set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color it up:

Kitty: YR21, YR15, YR27, R00, R20

Daisies: C00, C2, YG11, G14

Tulips: RV10, RV02, YG11, G14

Boots: V000, V12, V15, Y11, Y15

Duck: Y11, Y15, YR21, YR15, YR27

The beautiful pattern papers are from the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad. I die cut the pretty paper using the hill die from the Land Borders Die Set. The vellum layer behind the kitty was die cut using a die from the Circle Frames Die Set. 

I adhered all the layers to a white A2 top fold card base. I adhered the kitty to the vellum circle and then applied glue to the vellum just behind the kitty so it wouldn't be visible through the vellum. I stamped the sentiment and adhered it directly to the card.
