Debbie's Halloween card features Halloween Woofs, Count Newton, Framework, Labels, Spiderweb, and Halloween Apothecary by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonnook, #halloweencards, #catcards, #cardmaking, #cardmaking

I decided on a Halloween sketch because I was inspired by the challenge-Two Old Bats. I love the green color of their inspiration badge. For my card, I used the green, spider web paper and the ghostly paper from the Halloween Woofs paper pad . I used the postage-edged die from the  Framework die set on these layers. I then used the Spiderweb Hot Foil Plates & Dies with silver foil to make the vertical layer.  I used the Labels Hot Foil Plates and Dies to create the arched element which I then stamped the sentiment using the Halloween Apothecary stamp set.  My star attraction is the little feline from the Count Newton stamp set. I loved how this came out!  Now it's your turn to create a project using the IPC sketch!

Hugs,

Debbie

Here's my inspiration!




For my card, I started with a white card base. I then added a white glitter paper atop the base.  I pulled three coordinating papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad. I love the purple and chartreuse colors together! I stamped and used my Scan 'n' Cut for the puppy from the Paw-some Birthday stamp set.  I used Copic markers to color him and the presents.  The sentiment is from the  Birthday Roundabout stamp set. This sketch is so fun with pattern papers.  Now it's your turn to play with the sketch!

Hugs,
Debbie

Happy Halloween!



I just found a new-to-me challenge that's all about Halloween!  How fun!!

My card features products by Newton's Nook Designs.
I distressed the background using the Flying Bats stencil. I then distressed the center oval and stamped the tree image from the Spooky Street stamp set. The Frankencat image is from the Franken Newton stamp set. The skeleton bat is from the Spooky Skeletons (retired) stamp set.  And finally, I used a beloved, but, retired stamp set, Boo Crew, for the mummy bear.

Inky Paws Challenge #218

 

Today starts a new Inky Paws Challenge!



One lucky participant will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!  You have until Friday, March 15, 2024 at Midnight CST to link up your project using the challenge sketch!


Here's my inspiration!


Easter blessings by Debbie features Spring Roundabout, Floral Roundabout, Hoppy Greetings, Spring Blooms, Spring Pile Up, Circle Frames, A7 Frames & Banners, and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #eastercards, #springcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge

I created my base using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. 

I pulled out the yellow flower paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad and cut using the scallop-edge circle from the Circle Frames die set.

I stamped the image from the Floral Roundabout stamp set and die cut using the Circle Frames die set. I colored the images with purple and yellow Copic markers. 

I stamped the bunny image from the  Hoppy Greetings stamp set and the image from the Spring Pile Up and colored them with Copic markers. I cut them out using my Scan -n- Cut and added foam tape for dimension.  I added a little chick and a couple of eggs. 

I cut out a banner using a die from the Banner Trio Banner die set and stamped the sentiment from the Spring Roundabout stamp set.

I love how this turned out.  It's a busy card filled with Easter cuteness!

Hugs,
Debbie
