Inky Paws Challenge #228 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 challenge sketch. 

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




Debbie Owens uses the patterns and colors from the A Cat's Life paper pad to create this bright, fun card featuring the studious feline from the Newton's Reading List stamp set. And coffee is definitely a fun way to enjoy life, so Deb adds a cuppa of Java from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set!

Is it happy hour, yet? Amy Tollner thinks it is with her darling feline from the Newton's Happy Meowr stamp set who is enjoying a fruity cocktail. Amy has pulled some fun summery papers from the Summertime paper pad making for a festive setting. She stamps her sentiment on a little banner using the Banner Trio die set.

Claire Lamb has a creative take on the sketch with her honey bee take! She uses the Heartfelt Honeycomb stamp set to create her bakcground. She then adds a trio of honey bee boxes with some tall, green grass (Land Borders die set). That handsome beekeeper is our very own Newton from the Beekeeper Newton stamps and coordinating die set.

Crystal Minkler is getting us ready for the upcoming fall season with her darling Halloween card! She uses festive papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and the Frames & Flags die set to create her background layers. She showcases her feline witch from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set on a bold, black hexagon background (Hexagon Frames die set).

Reading to go surfing? Danni Bindel's card will have you packing your car and heading for some waves. She uses the Basic Frames and the Frames & Flags die set to create those pretty layers with papers from the Summertime paper pad. And her VW Bug from the Beach Bound sta mp and coordinating dies is packed and ready to roll! A super fun way to use the sketch!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, August 2, 2024 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here.
