Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 20 October 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 "HALLOWEEN/FRIGHT NIGHT".

This week the Design Team were challenged to "anything goes".

Here is my inspiration post with this image.
 For my 8"x8"card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Misty Reflections" and I have coloured her in with my Promarkers and I have used my Pan Pastels for the background.  For a change I have stamped the "Happy Halloween" stamp direct onto the image rather than separately on the card.

I decided to make my own backing papers by using plain orange and purple card stamped with my Clearly Besotted Halloween stamps.

I have finished the card off with a piece of card stamped with a crackle background to look like a spider's web, spider ribbon and various die-cuts (splats, witch, bats and the dreaded spiders).

Promarkers used:

Face/body - Blush, Sunkissed Pink and Coral
Necklace - Pumpkin
Hair - Saffron, Vanilla and Cocoa
Hat/gloves - Amethyst, Purple and Pumpkin
Dress - Burnt Orange, Pumpkin and Spice
Cats - Ice Grey 1 and 2.
Moon - Tulip Yellow and Sunflower.

 I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

Ooh La La Creations - Die-cuts
Scrapbook Stamp Society - Anything goes with the option of Autumn
A Bit More Time to Craft - Anything goes
A Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything goes
World Wide Open Design Team - Anything goes
The Ribbon Girl - October any image challenge
Glitter n Sparkle - Anything goes
Come and Get It - Purple, orange and black
Pile it On - Fantasy and/or spiders/cobwebs
Artistic Inspirations - Anything goes
Crafting from the Heart - Anything goes
Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything goes
Digi Choosday - Anything goes
Passion for Promarkers - Anything goes
Deep Ocean - Halloween
Creative Moments - Anything goes/purple paradise
Inspiration Destination - Anything goes with the option of an easel card
Crafting by Designs - It's Halloween
Crafty Gals Corner - Use Halloween colours
The Paper Shelter - Make it square
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Photo inspiration
As You Like It - Do you prefer people or animals? (I have to say I prefer colouring in people.  Maybe that's just because I haven't got as much experience/success at colouring animals!!)
Aud Sentiments - Halloween and sentiment
Polkadoodles - Anything goes
Crafting with Friends - Anything goes
Creative Fingers - Anything goes
QKR Stampede - Anything goes
Just to give you a "heads up" that this months’ challenge is a VERY special challenge.
Yes it is amazing to think that we are celebrating our 3rd anniversary of the Monthly Blog Challenge on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog.

As it is our third birthday there will not be just one Monthly Challenge Winner but THREE Monthly Challenge Winners as well as the Artist Choice Award Winner picked by Ching-Chou Kuik herself.

It would be lovely to see you taking part in our challenge in the October 3rd anniversary celebrations.
