Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps and Inspiration Blog - Post by Kym - Monday 17 November 2014

 It is Monday again and therefore time for another Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post from me.

 I decided to make a calendar for 2015.  Yes, 2015 will soon be upon us.  For my calendar I have used a new release to the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Etsy Store called "Love".  Isn't she a beauty?

 I have coloured my image in with my Graph'it pens and coloured around her with my Pan Pastels.  I decided to make the calendar in the form of a cross-over card with the image on a tag.

 All the backing papers are from my stash and I kept to the colour scheme of pink and cream.  I have inked around the image and all the papers with Tim Holtz's Victorian Velvet distress ink.  I have finished the card off with some punched flowers, gems, ribbon/fibres, 10mm pink gingham ribbon from Buckwell Craft Supplies, 25mm Veletta pink textured ribbon from Buckwell Craft Supplies and a calendar tab.

 Here is a close-up of the calendar stood up - certainly wasn't easy to take the photo!!

Here is the back of the calendar.  Well you can't leave it just plain can you?  I've used a Marianne Designs embossing folder and matching die and I have used a Sizzix die-cut stand.

I am entering this calendar into the following challenges:

Brown Sugar Challenge - Anything goes
Creative Fingers - Anything goes
Lia Stampz - Anything goes
613 Avenue Create - Anything goes and optional twist to use the word hello in any language because 21/11 is World Hello Day!
Card Mania - Use a digi
The Pink Elephant - Anything but a card
