Here is my weekly 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 "LET'S GO NEUTRAL" ie white, cream, browns or greys.
Here is my inspiration post with this theme.
For my card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Purple Woods" (this comes in a set with three gorgeous other images). I printed the image off onto some kraft card and coloured in with tones of brown Promarkers.
The backing papers are from my stash.
I have finished the card off with some animal print ribbon, stamped ticket sentiment, gem, Prima butterfly, frayed hessian, leafy style stamped decoration by Stamps by Chloe (heat embossed onto acetate and glitter added afterwards) and some die-cut flowers made out of parcel wrapping paper finished off with some gorgeous brads from a friend.
