Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 13 January 2017

 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 "USE SOMETHING NEW".

This week the Design Team were challenged to "all about the blues".

Here is my inspiration post with this theme.

For my card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Poppy Glamour".  I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and used Pebeo drawing gum and put splodges on the background, allowed to dry, coloured over with my Promarkers and then rubbed off the drawing gum.

The backing papers I have used from my stash.

I have finished the card off with some die-cut butterflies which I have coloured with Promarkers and stamped with a new harlequin stamp, stamped sentiments, new lace (isn't it gorgeous?) and some ribbon.

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

Unicorn Challenge - January blues

Pile it On - Colourfully aware - for this challenge you have to be inspired by a colour awareness ribbon.
