Inky Paws Challenge #9 - Spring Color Challenge!

Happy Friday and the the first day of #09 Inky Paws Challenge!  
This month's challenge is a Color Challenge!


I just love spring flowers so I thought  this beautiful bouquet would be perfect inspiration for a fun spring color challenge!

 The colors we're looking for in projects arePale Pink  • Yellow • Lilac • Soft Green

Are you ready to get your paws inky with us and play along to win a prize? The Challenge winner will receive a $10 store credit to our online store and a Inky Paws Challenge Top Pick Badge to add to your blog! If we get more than 15 participants, we will choose two winners so be sure to tell your friends to play along! 
You have two weeks to play along. Deadline to enter is Friday,  May 9th, 2014 at Midnight CST. The winners will be announced on the NND blog on Monday, May 12th.

Are you ready to play along and get your paws inky?

Flower Jar Card by Larissa Heskett for Inky Paws Challenge #9 | Newton's Nook Designs
Larissa Heskett created this pretty card using the mason jar and flower from the Versatile Vases set. She also used the doodle line stamp from the Love à la Carte stamp set to make the fun pattern on the bottom! 
Tulip Card for Inky Paws Challenge #9 | Newton's Nook Designs
Here's one from me - I created this spring tulip card using the Easter Scramble set. To stamp the fill on the tulips, I just flipped the stamp over and used the back side of the stamp to create a solid shape!

Flower Vase Card for Inky Paws Challenge #9 | Newton's Nook Designs
And one more - for this one, I used the vases from the Versatile Vases set and paper-pierced them to add some simple color to this card. I colored the flowers with copics. 


Now it's your turn!
