Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Sketch Challenge #246 - Bring on the Merry

 I love this stencil so much, I had to make another one! LOL Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Sketch challenge #246 and I used the Argyle Stencil on this background!

Also used the Fancy Edges Tag Die set and the retired Christmas Trimmings stamp set and matching dies. After I created the argyle background, I die cut with Unity Stamp Co. largest scallops and rectangles nesting dies, then ink blended over the edges with Vintage Photo.

Newton's Nook Design Inky Paws Sketch Challenge #246 - Happy Blooming Birthday!

 What does one do when they are procrastinating and not doing the housework that she should be doing.....why making cards of course! LOL

I am a sucker for a sketch so when the Newton’s Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge sketch popped up on my feed, I immediately had to make something! LOL I'll include a picture of the sketch below.

This started with a piece of plain white cardstock and the argyle stencil set from Newton's Nook Designs. I used Gina K. Designs Inks in Peach Bellini and Ocean Mist to stencil this amazing design with some blending brushes!! So crisp and so fun! I then added a strip of teal paper which the manufacturer is unknown to me. I then die cut the entire panel with a Unity Stamp Co. scallops and rectangles die. I then cut the orange polka dot tag using the fancy edges tag die set. The image is from a set called Loads of Blooms, which happens to be retired now. I didn't get the matching die set so fussy cutting is what needed to happen! I colored her in with my KingArt Alcohol Markers and added her to the tag along with some burlap and natural twine. I attached the tag with foam adhesive and then added some enamel dots from Echo Park to finish it off.

The challenge runs through the end of the month!
