Inky Paws Challenge #185 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's a refresher.

Use the colors--
Coral, Wine Red, Denim Blue, and Caramel Brown.


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

Peace & Joy by Claire features Flower Trio, PInes & Holly, Frames & Flags, and Christmas Nap die set by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #floralcards, #cardmaking, #holidaycards, #christmascards
Claire Lamb creates this spectacular card using only dies!  Wow!  She creates a stitched card base using the Frames & Flags die set and lightly adds some splatters for texture.  She then creates a beautiful floral arrangement by layering flower die cuts from the Flower Trio die set for her poinsettia. She adds foliage using the Pines & Holly die set.  She uses the word dies from the Christmas Nap die set in glittery gold paper for her sentiment.  Spectacularly done!



Fall is my favorite color by Debbie features Harvest Haul, Plaid, Circle Frames, Fall Fringe, Frames & Flags, and Pumpkin Latte by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #autumncards, #fallcards, #cardmaking, #truckcards, #vintagecarcards
Debbie Owens' plaid background (Plaid Stencil) gives her card a warm, autumn feel.  She adds a blue vintage truck (Harvest Haul stamp set) filled with a bushel of dark red apples and a pile of coral-colored pumpkins. To complete her card, she uses the Circle Frames die set for the Kraft circle, Frames & Flags die set for the card base, and a sentiment pulled from the Fall Fringe stamp set.  A beautiful card with a warm, flannel feel!




'Tis the season to pile on the holiday cheer by Diane features Holiday Heights, Snowflake Oval, and Oval Frames by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #snowmancards, #holidaycards, #christmascards, #puppycards, #cardmaking
Diane Morales cuts strips of paper in the challenge colors for a fabulous striped background.  Look closely and you'll see subtle snowflakes floating down.  She then adds the Snowflake Oval stamp set atop a scalloped frame (Oval Frames die set).  The darling snowman and puppy image comes from the newly released Holiday Heights stamp and coordinating die set. Don't you love how the snowman's scarf mimics the stripes of the background?  A red wine banner with the embossed sentiment completes this playful card!



Wishing you a long & joyful holiday season by Amy features Holiday Hounds, Petite Snow, Slimline Frames & Portholes, and Slimline Masking Circles & Squares by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #dogcards, #holidaycards, #cardmaking, #christmascards
Amy Tollner adds a pair of Dachshund puppies from the Holiday Hounds stamp and coordinating die set on her long slimline card featuring dies from the Slimline Frames and Portholes die set.  Using the Slimline Masking Circles and Squares stencil set, Amy distresses a light blue sky complete with tiny snowflakes using the Petite Snow stencil.  Such a sweet, serene scene!
