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 "UNDER THE SEA".
This week the Design Team were challenged to "USE SOME DIE-CUTS" and here is my inspiration post with this theme.
For my shabby chic style birthday card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamp called "
Awake in Purple Dream" (I used the
black-and-white image it is also now available as a
grayscale image). I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and used my Tim Holtz distressing tool around the edge and then coluured with a brown Versa Magic ink pad.
The backing papers are from various Debbi Moore Inspiration Magazines and some freebies from a magazine by Sara Davies from Crafter's Companion.
The die-cuts I have used as per the challenge are feathers which I added some copper Cosmic Shimmer gilding polish to, some Sue Wilson greenery which I added the gilding polish to and a small rose die which I made into scrolled flowers and added the gilding polish to as well.
I have finished the card off with some lace, die-cut sentiment and some pearls.
The Promarkers that I have used are:
Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal
Hair - Cocoa, Cinnamon and Raw Sienna
Bird - Sandstone, Pastel Beige, Tan and Khaki
Flowers/greenery - Aqua, Duck Egg, Bright Green, Olive Green and Carmine
Sky - Ice Grey 1, Ice Grey 2, Blender Pen and Powder Blue.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
