Inky Paws Challenge #18 Winners! 

Thanks so much to everyone who entered our last Inky Paws Challenge at here at the Newton's Nook Designs blog! This months Challenge was to create a project with a JUST ONE LAYER! 

This was a tough one, for sure, but we were AMAZED by all the creative things everyone did with just one layer! The challenge entries were so awesome this month! THANK YOU to everyone who entered!  It's always hard to choose a winner!

Top picks for Inky Paws Challenge #18

Announcing.... our top picks! Read the description below each card to see who created it - and make sure to visit their blogs and tell them congrats!!

This adorable card by Heidi is our first top pick! We love how she added texture to her one layer card and then used the kitty from our new Naughty Newton stamp set and created scratch marks through the textured heart! You can see more at her blog Crafty Time 4U. 

Our second winner is this adorable beach scene by Shannon! We love how she used masking to create the illusion of layers when it's all really just one layer! Shannon used our  Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set. You can see more at her blog Stamp & Glitter. 

Congrats to Heidi and Shannon! Don't forget to send us an e-mail at info@newtonsnookdesigns.com to claim your $10 store credit and get your winner badge for your blog!

Since there were so many beautiful heart cards, we chose THREE more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

This fun and colorful card by Nina-Marie Designs really caught our eye. We loved how she added the big MEOW behind the kitty in the box from the Newton's Antics stamp set and added some awesome paint splatter too. The coloring with the shading around the box really adds some dimension to the one layer card too!

This sweet and simple card by Cat Craig was also a favorite! I love the coloring of the kitties from the Newton's Antics stamp set on the kraft cardstock. The way she added a fun shape with a white pen was was such a neat idea to add some dimension to a one-layer card!

Our final favorite from this challenge is this bright and colorful card by Emily Lauritzen. The way she did creative stenciling with arrows pointing the kitty is so fun! She also used the kitty in the box from our Newton's Antics stamp set.

Thanks so much!
