Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 21 February 2022


Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.

Our challenge this month is:

"ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
For my anniversary card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Love Barn Owl".  I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and then used pearlescent chalks to do a heart shaped halo around the image.

The backing papers I have used are from some years back from a Debbi Moore magazine.

For the plain pieces of card I have used a new A4 weave pattern embossing folder to add some texture.

I have finished the card off with sentiments, die-cut feathers, die-cut hearts and some rather yummy Sentimentally Yours pearls which I got for Christmas.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I love Hanging out with you Special Husband - Happy Valentine's Day


Here is the Valentine's Day card for my hubby using a kit called "Sloths Just Chillin"  by Janet Briggs over at CraftsUPrint.  The image is a lot brighter but with the mirri card it was a nightmare to take a photo of so I had to do at a weird angle.

For the card for my husband I have used the decoupage sheet with lots of layers, insert and two sentiments.

The backing papers I have used are from my stash.

I have finished the card off with some die-cut hearts which I then put through a dotty embossing folder, two different grosgrain ribbons and a stamped sentiment.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 7 February 2022


Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.

Our challenge this month is:

"ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
Last month I showed you the start of my hanger stand to keep by the computer where I store all birthdays/anniversaries etc I need a card for that month.

I still have not decorated the box yet as not sure how I want it to look but have made my hanger for February.

For my hanger I painted it first with white gesso and then red acrylic paint.  Once both sides were dry I used various texture/love/heart stamps to decorate the background.

The Ching-Chou Kuik image that I have used is called "Forever Valentine - Greyscale" from the Love Mermaid Set.  I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and inked the background with Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans and ink brushes and then added Glossy Accents to the water droplets.

I have finished the hanger off with a sentiment made on the computer, die-cut hearts and some twine.
