Inky Paws Challenge #202- Summer Lovin'

The new Inky Paws Challenge starts today, July 10, 2023 and goes through July 21, 2023 at midnight CST! Lots of time for you to link up your Newton's Nook Summer Lovin' creations on the Inky Paws Challenge Blog for a chance to win $20 store credit at the Newton's Nook Shop! Check out the Challenge Rules before you create your project!

I never thought of myself as a gardener but I am enjoying creating a flower garden and also a little hill with different flowers so when I think of summer, I think of pretty flowers with bees and butterflies. The Newton's Flower Garden stamp set and matching dies were perfect for my vision of flowers with some butterflies!

I stamped out my images, colored them with copics and then die cut them out using the matching dies. Once I had my images ready I started building the card using the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad, Circle Frames Dies and Land Borders Dies. 

After I had my little scene built in the larger circle I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a smaller circle. I really like the different sizes in the Circle Frames Die set!

I finished the card by stamping a few single flowers and die cut them out and using them as little accents!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us with your Summer Lovin' Newton's Nook creations at the Inky Paws Challenge! I have a video sharing this card! See it HERE!

I Love Your Smile

Today I have a fun card using some stamp sets from Sweet November Stamps! I used Flutterbee Tullia and Horizon Lines-Spring to create my card. 

I was inspired by a card that Amy Young did with these stamp sets. She is my crafting idol!!

I forgot to stamp Flutterbee Tullia first to mask the scenery so I ended up stamping her separate and adding her to the scene. So happy it turned out okay! I think this is one of my better scene cards!

Have a wonderful day and smile!
