Inky Paws Challenge #233-Week 4

                         

Use Burnt Orange, Olive Green, Slate Gray, and Cream with your NND products. 

Inky Paws has moved to a new, monthly format to give you more time to get Inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products.

You have until Friday, November 1, 2024 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday.  Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project. 

This week, I was inspired to make a bookmark instead of a card.  I used an autumn theme because Newton's Nook Designs has such cute bookmark stamps!

I began by cutting the bookmark using the Bookmark die set.  I lightly distressed the edges with Distress Oxide ink.  I then stamped the stack of books, sentiment, and leaves using the Autumn Reads stamp set. I colored everything with Copic markers using the IPC challenge colors.  I added an orange gingham ribbon as my final touch.  I haven't yet, but I think I will laminate the bookmark to give it longevity.  

Now it's your turn to use these colors in your NND masterpiece!

For my card, I was inspired to create a card celebrating the just desserts of a successful harvest!

Today's card features several stamp sets. My aim was to depict the bounty of the harvest, to using the harvest in a dessert, to what one looks like after partaking the harvest!  I did this by using the kitty in his pumpkin basket from the Fall Harvest stamp set. I then used the kitty making the pie and the very full kitty from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set. I colored them with Copic markers using some gray for the challenge colors.  I then added some layers using the  Basic Frames die set with papers from the Autumn Basics paper pad. I really liked the green gingham paper because gingham has such a warm, county feel to it. I pulled the sentiment from the  Fall Roundabout stamp set. I think the "Give Thanks" can mean so many things--giving thanks to those who grow and harvest the bounty, to those who work so hard to create delicious foods from the harvest, to those who are fortunate enough to enjoy the rewards of all the hard work. I'm so thankful to all that tiredlessly work to bring the bounty of this country to my local grocer! Thank you so much!

Now it's your turn to use these colors in your NND masterpiece!

For my card, I was inspired to create a card celebrating fall and all the farmers who work tiredlessly to plant, sow, and harvest our food supply. 

My card today features a fall/harvest theme. My grandfather and father were farmers, and I understand the commitment and dedication it takes to farm. I started by using the  Serene Stripes stencil for the background. This provided a bit of texture to help ground the images. I then went through my NND autumn stamp sets. I love NND products because of the ease of mixing and matching stamp images. I selected the little feline farmer from the Farmer Newton stamp and added the corn stack image from the Autumn Harvest stamp set. The card didn't balance well, so I added the extra kitty and pumpkins from the Fall Harvest stamp set.  All of these sets have coordinating die sets.  I, however, either fussy cut or used my Scan 'n' Cut to cut them out.  I used Copic markers to color the images in the challenge colors. I add dimension tape to several to add depth. I finally selected a sentiment from the Newton's Crate stamp set. I love how this turned out, and I wish I could send to either my grandfather of father who dedicated their lives to reaping the rewards of farming. Miss you both!
