Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 19 October 2018

 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".

This week the Design Team were challenged by Nicola to make a shaped card.

Here is my inspiration post with this theme.

 I decided to make a side-stepper Halloween card.  I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Exotic Halloween".  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my white pen.

I actually made the side stepper using the image as a guide where to cut the side stepped part like Debbi Moore often does on her shows on the TV.  I then inked the card with my Faded Jeans, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire distress inks.  I then used those inks along with my Black Soot distress ink to stamp various Halloween stamps on the side-stepper, remembering on the side-stepper that some images might have been upside down on the stepper if I had not thought about it beforehand.

I have finished off the card with some wide grey organza (which was a wrap that came with my formal dress so as I did not want to use it with the dress I have chopped it up for use on my cards/mixed media projects), stamped/coloured/Glossy accents pumpkins, stamped sentiment, die-cut bats, bow and button.

The Promarkers that I have used are: 

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 
Hair - Poppy, Spice and Ice Grey 4

Dress - Poppy, Red, Spice and Carmine

Candle/pumpkins - Buttercup, Ivory, Yellow, Spice, Orange and Ice Grey 3.
