Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Blog - Kym's Inspiration Post - Monday 13 April 2015

Well it has quickly whizzed around to Monday again and therefore it is time for me to show you my Inspiration Post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Blog.

Before I do I'd like to remind you that our challenge this month is "under the sea".  It would be lovely if you could take part.
 For my easel inspiration card I have gone for Spring-like colours.  It's lovely at this time of year to see colours coming out in gardens round and about - not that I am into gardening.   For my card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamp called "Heart of Spring".  I have used my Graph'it pens for a change today.
The backing papers I have used for the card are from my Creative Crafting World "Mix and Match Papercrafting Collection CD-Rom".  On here you get a selection of papers in brights, lights and neutrals.  I have used the lights papers.

I have finished the card off with flowers cut out of the backing papers with a Robert Addams flower die set (I bought the All Occasions small flower die set and love it so much that the medium and large have gone on my wish list), Tonic Nuvo pearl drops for the centres of the flowers and the flowers on the image, doily, raffia ribbon, various die-cut shapes (bird cage, birds and scroll), gems, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment and a seam binding ribbon bow.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Very pretty card! I love the image and how you've colored her. All those pretty flowers really make this card 100% girly, which are my favorite cards! What a nice birthday card...and being an easel, the recipient can leave it on their dresser or desk and enjoy it for a long time without it falling over!! Thanks for joining us at The Paper Shelter for our "birthday with a sentiment" challenge! Hugs, Gail
