Inky Paws Challenge #176 Reminder

 

Don't forget - 
There's still time to play along with our 

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  
Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here'a a refresher.



Use the colors Crimson Red, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise Blue, and white with your NND products.


Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Make a wish by Debbie features Dainty Daisies, Roses, Frames & Flags, and Birthday Essentials by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #floralcards, #cardmaking
With patriotic floral paper, Debbie Owens mimics the flowers by combining the Roses and Dainty Daisies stamp sets. She die cuts her layers using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set, and stamps the sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp on a white banner. The jute twine adds a nice country touch!



Have a blast by Diane features Newton's 4th of July, Circle Frames, Frames & Flags, Coffee House Stories, and Love & Meows by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #4thofjulycards, #cardmaking, #catcards
Diane Morales has Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set) enjoying the holiday! Diane uses papers from the Coffee House Stories and the Love & Meows paper pads with dies from the Circle Frames and Frames & Flags die sets to create her festive layout. This fun card could be used for the 4th of July or a birthday! 



Celebrate by Sue features Newton's 4th of July by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #4thofjulycards, #cardmaking, #catcards
Sue T. uses the firework blooms from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set to create the festive background. The kitten and puppy from this same set look like they are enjoying the festivities in their little red wagon!  A spattering of gems and star-shaped jewels add the purr-fect bit of shimmer!



Celebrate by Amy features Newton's 4th of July, Framework, Birthday Essentials, and Fireworks by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #4thofjulycards, #cardmaking, #catcards
Amy Tollner has her kitten (Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set) rocketing through a shimmery nighttime sky filled with fireworks (Fireworks stencil). She uses the large frame die from the Framework die set to achieve the postage-edging. She finishes with a sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp set and some sequins!



Warm winter wishes by Claire features Winter Birds, Petite Snow, and Fall Friends by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #birdcards, #wintercards, #cardmaking
Claire Lamb uses the challenge colors in a very unique and beautiful way. She pulls the blue jay from the Winter Birds stamp and coordinating die set and places him among layers of beautiful blue leaves (Fall Friends die set) and red holly sprigs. Look closely and you'll spy some snowflakes made using the Petite Snow stencil. Spectacular!
