Ready for some Inky Paws inspiration?  

Read the description below each card to see who made it!

Design Team Member Samantha Mann played along using Winged Wishes
Isn't it just adorable how she put those baby onsies on the clothesline? Looks like she flipped the sketch upside down... Yup... you can totally do that! 
Inky Paws #02 Wagon Card by Tessa Wise
Design Team Member Tessa Wise decided to use the wagon from the Wagon of Wishes Stamp set and filled it with the cute little fall pumpkins and kitty image.  I love the plaid background on her card and the cute little happy harvest tag! 

Inky Paws #02 Mouse Card by Jocelyn Olson
I love the colors on this card by Design Team Member Jocelyn Olson! Plus - she thought of such a cute way to use the mouse from the Just say Cheese set! 

Big Wishes Dinosaur card by Emily Leiphart for Inky Paws Challenge #02
Here is a fun interpretation from our Design Team Member Emily Leiphart! Isn't It cute how she made that Dino look like he's looking up into the sky? The T-rex and sentiment are both from the Prehistoric Pals stamp set. 



Of course I had to make a couple cards too! 

For my first card I also used the set Wagon of Wishes to create fall-themed card! I colored the the wagon image using Inktense watercolor pencils on watercolor paper. I love this stamp with the pumpkins and that cute kitty peeking out from behind them! 

Loves mew cat card by Newton's Nook Designs

For my second card I used the set Newton's Antics to create this adorable cozy kitty card! Again -- I colored the kitties using Inktense watercolor pencils on watercolor paper. I tried to make them look just like our kitties, Newton and Hobbes! 

Now it's your turn! We can't wait to see what you create - Link your projects up below:

  4. Sorry I added two posts, I had trouble with my first post and had to add another one to get the image to open when you clicked on it. So the first one can be deleted, we tried to delete it but the site wouldn't let us. I'm new at this...can you tell? Ha Ha!
