Inky Paws Challenge #3

Hi Friends!  It's been a long time since I've posted on my blog.  Life has gotten crazy between work and preparing for all of my craft shows this fall.

I'm excited to be posting my version of the Inky Paws Challenge #3 over at Newton's Nook Designs.  I recently purchased their NND's Halloween Boo Crew stamp set, and it's sooo adorable!  My mom and I sat down last weekend and both created a card for the challenge.  I'll be posting the card my mom created in my next post!

Here's the sketch we were given: 

And here's my creation using the mummy bear!  I first stamped the costumed bear onto white cardstock and colored him in.  I wanted to make a Halloween card with non-traditional colors (read: not orange and black), so I ended up choosing grey and pink.  I used some coordinating spiderweb paper, and used actual gauze as an embellishment instead of ribbon.  When I started working on this card, all I knew was that I wanted to incorporate gauze to match the mummy bear.  I think it turned out pretty cute, don't you?

Trick or Treat!

Newton's Nook Sketch Challenge: Mom Edition

Here are the cards that my mom came up with for the Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Sketch Challenge.  Once again, here's the original sketch.

Here's her first card, featuring Newton and some cute little mice!  She used the set Newton's Antics.  I love the cute mouse paper that she used along with the stamps!  It looks so cute with the little wind up mouse stamp.
