Inky Paws Challenge 51 Inspiration

Hi there!  Today is the start of a new Inky Paws Challenge, and this time the theme is tropical.

To me, nothing says tropical like the beach, so I have the fabulous Newton enjoying some beach time (I wish I were there!).  I stamped this fun image from Newton’s Summer Vacation with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored it with Copics, and cut it out with my ScanNCut2.  I added some highlights with a white gel pen and some Glossy Accents to his shades.

Onto Bristol Smooth paper, I ink-blended Tea Dye Distress Ink for the sand and Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean for the sky.  I masked the sky before flicking some water onto the sand and blotting it with a towel.  I die-cut the panel and some American Crafts Sunny paper with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies.  I adhered the patterned paper to a white card and popped up the ink-blended panel with foam tape.  Newton was also popped up with foam tape.  For my sentiment I created a sun with some dies from Craftin Desert Divas and stamped a sentiment from Newton’s Summer Vacation.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enter a project in Inky Paws Challenge 51 because there’s a $20 gift certificate to Newton’s Nook Designs up for grabs!

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:  The Heart’s Desires Challenge #14 and Simon Says Stamp June 2017 Work It Wednesday.
