Hoppy days are here again

Hoppy Days Ahead is the name of the Simon Says Stamp set I used for the bunny and flower. I colored them both with Copic markers, although the flower didn’t dry to the shade I wanted. I used Newton’s Nook Oval Frames to cut Lawn Fawn’s Spiffy Speckled paper and inked the edges of the rectangle with their Sugarplum ink. Couldn’t find room for a sentiment, but I think the sweet bunny speaks for himself.

Cool kitty!

 This tan kitty knows how to keep cool with glossy sunglasses and a tasty popsicle. The watermelon paper is from the Newton's Nook Summertime pad, and the cat image, die, and sentiment are from their Newton's Summer Treats set. I cut the ovals using the Oval Frame Set, also from Newton's Nook. The solid papers I had in my stash. I colored the cat image with Copic markers and used a black Gelly Roll Glaze pen to color in his sunglasses. The popsicle is covered with Ranger Glossy Accents. 

A Purr-maid!

 This pretty purr-maid is from Newton's Nook, as are the patterned papers, dies, sentiment (and seahorse).She was colored with Copic Markers and then accented with Glossy Accents on the seashells and Stickles on her tail. A few sequin bubbles complete the card. Made as an entry for Inky Paws Challenge #201, which was a sketch challenge.

Summer is coming!

 Here in Texas, we're already having warmer temperatures. Nothing like it will be in July and August, but warm enough to start thinking about all the good parts of summer, like ice cream. This is an entry in the Inky Paws Challenge-this time it was a sketch challenge. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to have horizontal stripes instead of vertical ones. The patterned papers are from the Newton's Nook Summertime paper pad and the image of Newton and his ice cream, as well as the sentiment, are from Newton's Summer Treats stamp and die set. I colored Newton with my Copic markers and cut out the oval using Newton's Nook Oval Frame set and then adhered Newton to the oval with tape runner. The stripes are adhered to the front of the card with tape runner as well, and the oval is popped up on foam tape.

I won't be posting until after the first of June, as I will be out of town until then. I will try to put new images up on Instagram.

3-dimensional card!

 Here's a card I made for the Inky Paws Color Challenge. The colors were cherry red, daffodil yellow, pewter gray, and white. The card is kind of a shadow box with Newton floating on a piece of acetate. I made the plaid and the paw print papers using Newton's Nook stencils. Little red and yellow twine bows finish off the card. I wanted to repurpose a Valentine's stamp set, so this one uses the sentiment from another Newton set to wish you a happy PURR-thday!

This card was selected by Amy as an Inky Paws Favorite! Thank you Amy!

Inky Paws Challenge #188- Color Challenge

 

The challenge for this card was to use the colors teal, kraft, silver, and white. I used the Newton's Nook Light Strings stencil with silver and white inks, then went back over the white lights with a glittery paste. The Snowflake Oval was stamped in teal ink and heat embossed with clear powder, then I stamped the sentiment in clear embossing ink and embossed it with silver embossing powder. Since I probably won't post again before the holidays, I wish everyone a very merry season!

Harvest blessings

 Another Newton card! I can't help it-he's a favorite. Colored with Copics, the papers are from Hobby Lobby, and the embellishments are from Trinity Stamps. The oval was cut with Newton's Nook oval set. I promise to provide some non-cat cards and projects soon! No posts until Monday, due to family obligations.

New Inky Paws Challenge!

 This challenge uses the colors coral, wine red, denim blue, and caramel brown. Using the Newton's Nook Oval Frames set, I cut the concentric ovals and then added the kitty from Newton's Birthday Bash. It's hard to see in the picture but the ribbon on the present is shimmery from the Wink of Stella I used. I fussy cut the sentiment (I know-more fussy cutting) and popped it and the picture up on thin foam squares.
