Inky Paws Challenge #121

Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  Today I am sharing another card that I made for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #121.  This week we have a theme challenge to inspire you.  Our challenges run for two weeks, thereby giving you more time to create, so I have designed a second card to share with you this week that was still inspired by the same image seen below:

Here is the card I created inspired by the birthday theme challenge:

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Crest cardstock.  I diecut a semi-circle in a sheet of 5 1/4" x 4" piece of white cardstock to adhere on top of the card base.  I stamped the sentiment "Have a pawsome birthday" in Blueberry Bushel blue ink in the lower left corner of the card.  Behind the semi circle, I created a stenciled background.  First I layered Peacock Feathers Distress oxide on a sheet of Bristol Smooth white cardstock.  Then I used a glitter shimmer paste over the Balloon stencil and let that dry before adhering it behind the semi circle.  I stamped the cat and multiple balloons in Memento Tuxedo black and colored them with Copic markers.  I cut the images out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a few highlights to the images using a Uniball white gel pen.  

Will this theme inspire YOU to create?  Are you ready to get your paws inky with us and play along for a chance to win?!  We will randomly select one linked entry to receive a $20 store credit to the Newton's Nook Designs online shop!
