Ready for some Inky Paws inspiration?  

Read the description below each card to see who made it!

This challenge card by our guest designer Kim Singdahlsen makes me smile!  I love the cute paper piercing on the ghost kitty from the  Boo Crew stamp set! So fun! 

Check it out - Harry Potter Fans! Design Team Member Samantha Mann played along  by creating this this Harry Potter inspired card using Magical Dreams! 

Design Team Member Tessa Wise played along  by creating this fun Halloween Party Card by combining the bunny from Boo Crew and the party banner from Winged Wishes!

Here's one by me - a quick monochromatic bunny vampire card using  some cute spider web paper and the new Boo Crew Stamp Set.

Another one by me. This time I used the dragon from the new Magical Dreams Stamp Set. I colored him with inktense watercolor pencils on watercolor paper and used a button for the circle!

Now It's your turn!

Inky Paws Challenge #2 Winner!

Winner Day! 

We had so much fun checking out all the entries for our second Inky Paws Challenge at here at the Newton's Nook Designs blog. Everyone has been so creative and it's so much fun to see all the creations made with our stamp designs! I really enjoyed each and every project that was posted! 

Top pick!

This card  by Crafty Math Chic was our top pick this month. What stood out was how she used the little fish and yarn stamps make the background patterns! I loved that! I also loved the color combo and the ball of yarn is just too cute!  More details on this card are on her blog here (Canines & Card Designs). 

Congrats to the winner! e-mail at info@newtonsnookdesigns.com to claim your $10 store credit and get your winner badge for your blog!
