Happy Birthday Ching-Chou Kuik

Today is a special day for the Ching-Chou Kuik's Design Teams as it is Ching-Chou's birthday.  

In her honour we are having a special mini-challenge on Facebook entitled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY".  Entrants to this challenge need to make something "happy birthday" related and use a Ching-Chou Kuik image.  

With her birthday being on 3rd day we are offering a prize for THREE winners winning THREE single images of their choice from the Etsy Store.

Here is the card that I have made using the Ching-Chou Kuik images "Sea Breeze - Grayscale" (which is in a set along with seven other mermaid images).  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and distressed around the image with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and inked with a blue Versamagic ink pad.

The backing papers are from Hobbycraft.

I have finished the card off with some die-cut seaweed, pearls, die-cut seahorses, sentiment and a die-cut crab.

The Promarkers that I have used are:

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal
Hair - Chestnut, Burnt Sienna and Terracotta

Mermaid tail/flowers - Purple and Amethyst

Rocks/dragonflies - Khaki, Pastel Beige, Marine and Duck Egg

Sea - Denim Blue and Pastel Blue.
