Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group September 2017 Challenge - Once Upon a Time

 Today is the start of the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group Monthly Challenge.

The topic for the challenge this month is "ONCE UPON A TIME" eg inspired by a story.

I decided to play along with their challenge this month.
 Please excuse my photograph.  I had to take it on my phone as my digital camera was playing up.  Hubby has thankfully sorted it out for me.

For my Alice in Wonderland inspired card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamp called "Mad Tea Party" and I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and highlighted areas with Spectrum Noir pencils.  I have added Glossy Accents to the cats' eyes and the drink in the cup.

I decided I'd used the words "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date, no time to say hello, good-bye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late" and make a belated birthday card.  Not that I ever need belated birthday cards - I tend to work the opposite way and recipients might get the tease of a card arriving 3-4 weeks before their birthday!!

I have used backing papers from some Debbi Moore Inspiration Magazines.  I like the way that they have done their magazines now.  I know a lot of people don't like things double-sided and I didn't think I would at first.  Now I do as often there may be toppers I might just not use but now on the flip side there is a backing paper which I can use.  I cut all the pages of toppers/backing papers out of the magazine and keep the toppers I will use.  Then I put all the backing papers in plastic wallets in colour families and I always look in these wallets before printing off backing papers of CDs thus making full use of the toppers and backing papers from the magazine.

I used my Tim Holtz Sizzix clock embossing folder and ran it through my Grand Calibur using some purple card.  I wanted to highlight the clock so I used my new Imagination Crafts Starlight Wax in White Gold.  I have tried Pebeo and Creative Expressions gilding waxes but I've had to give them away as their smell makes me cough and cough and cough.  This though has no smell and was perfect.  I just put a bit on my glass mat and used my finger over the card to get a good coverage.  Perfect.  Just need to add some more of the colours onto my wish list!!

I have finished the card off with some ribbon, computer generated sentiment, gems, twine and two stamped watches, fussy cut, stuck together and Glossy Accents added to the front one to replicate the glass of a pocket watch.

Love that "Tea Party," Kym, and your coloring is fabulous! Of course, purple being my favorite color was a plus. I'm wearing two DT hats today - Love to see you playing in our "Anything Goes with a Critter" challenge at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies and in our "Anything Goes" challenge at QKR Stampede. We do love our regular supporters. :-D Good luck in the draw on both challenges.
