Inky Paws Challenge #133

Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  I spent a good portion of it in my craft room on Saturday celebrating World Cardmaking Day.  And by celebrating, I mean tackling my mile-long card deadline!  So really, my Saturday was more in honor of World Cardmaking Day considering there were no celebratory drinks or cupcakes involved!  And, because of Covid, I had to celebrate virtually with my friends on Instagram rather that our traditional in-person gathering. 

  Every Monday means it's time for another Inky Paws Challenge!  Our challenges run for two weeks, thus giving you more time to create.  So this week we are continuing along with our theme for Challenge #133.   I have designed a second card to share with you that was still inspired by the same image seen below:

Here is the slimline card I created inspired by the autumn theme challenge:

Card details: 

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

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2."  Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  You can even now by slimline envelopes in a variety of colors to coordinate perfectly with your cards!  The base of this card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  Using a miscellaneous piece of woodgrain paper, I cut the mat to 8 1/4" x 3 1/4".  Using the Slimline Frames and Windows die set, I cut the frame out of white cardstock.  I lined the back of the frame with miscellaneous plaid/gingham papers.  

I stamped the images from the Autumn Mice stamp set in Memento Black ink on Neenah white cardstock.  I colored the images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating Autumn Mice dies.  I always add some highlights to my colored images with a Uniball white gel pen.  I adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in orange ink on a thin strip of white cardstock, notched the left edge and adhered it to the top right of the card.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.
