Newtons Nook Theme Challenge

For my 3rd card for the Newtons Nook Inky Paws Challenge I decided to go with a theme challenge.  I chose the spring challenge.

What a beautiful theme this is.  I used the stamp set "Loads of Blooms" for my card below to celebrate spring.  I stamped the image and colored it with my Altenew watercolors.  

What fun it was to look back at some of these great challenges they have had over at Inky Paws Challenge.

Newtons Nook Sketch Challenge

For my second card I decided to do the sketch challenge for Newtons Nook Inky Paws Challenge in celebration of their 100th challenge.
I chose #43 for my Sketch challenge above.

I used one of my favorite stamp sets called "Woodland Spring".  I love this adorable little fox.  I colored the image with my Altenew watercolors and fussy cut the image out.  I used a cloud stencil to do the background of the fox.  Love this sweet image.

Newtons Nook Inky Paws Color Challenge

Newtons Nook is one of my favorite stamp companies.  It could be because of the many adorable kitty stamps.  Their Inky Paws Challenge is celebrating their 100th challenge.  They have 4 different categories to enter your card in.

For my first card I decided to do the Color Challenge.

This is the color challenge I decided to go with.  

I started my card by using my distress oxides and water to make a watercolor background.  I used the adorable little mouse on a tulip stamp that is from Garden Mice stamp set.  After stamping the image I used my Altenew watercolors to color the image.   

The Project Bin

Where oh where does the time go?  I can't believe that July 4 is only 15 days away.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.  For my card this week for The Project Bin, I decided to use the stamp set "Red, White and Boom!".

I pulled out some patriotic papers that I had and made this card.  I stamped the image on white card stock and used an oval die to cut it out.  I found some different sparkly papers for the stars and scalloped oval.

I hope you liked my card this week.  Remember that an order over $75 over at The Project Bin will receive this stamp set (Red, White & Boom!) for free.  What a deal.  

Be sure and check back next week because I have another card using this same stamp set.

Unidentified Image Swap #44

Heather selected our image this month for our challenge. 

Of course Heather chose one of my favorite stamp companies "Two Paper Divas" for her image.  I am still sad they are out of business but I am very lucky to have several of their stamps in my stash.  This set was called "Spring Boots".  I colored the image with my copic markers and used a cross stich rectangle die to cut it out.

Thanks Heather for a great challenge.

Dueling Darlings

What a fun challenge this month for the Dueling Darlings selected by Terry L. and Tami.  Terry L. sent me a package of all kinds of goodies.  Who would of thought it would be so much fun to make a halloween card in June?  Well I loved it. 

The adorable image is from My Favorite Things called "Witch Way is the Candy?".  The papers used are from The Paper Studio.  The fence, spider web and small bats are from Amuse.

Thanks to Terry and Tami for a great challenge this month.

The Project Bin.

I have another fun card today for The Project Bin.  I liked my card so well last week that I decided to make another card using a different sentiment from the Birthday Girl stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment birthday girl on a piece of vanilla cardstock and cut it out.  I also did a little sponging around the edges with Creamy Caramel Stampin Up ink which is an oldie but goodie and is no longer available.  I love the softness of this color.  The other elements of the card are from the paper line Denim & Girls by Maja designs.  I really liked the photo pages.

I hope you enjoyed the card this week.  Be sure and check back next week because I am in the Patriotic theme.  

The Project Bin is running a June Special which is if you order $75 of merchandise you will receive "Red, White & Boom" stamp set.  Later in the month I will show you several fun cards I made with this stamp set.
