Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 5 July 2019

 Here is my weekly inspiration post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Blog.

The Blog Challenge for July 2019 is "MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.

For my card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Sunflower Night" and have coloured the image in with Promarkers and used chalks for the background.

Onto the "make your own background".  For this I used various Distress Oxide refills (Fossilised Amber, Spice Marmalade and broken China) and put the colours on my glass mat one at a time, spritzed with water and then dried each layer.  Then I used various stencils and used the same distress oxides through these to get a bit of a pattern.  It took quite a long time but I am very pleased with the results.

I have finished the card off with a sentiment, stamped flowers from a magazine and some twine.

The Promarkers that I have used are: 

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 

Hair - Cinnamon, Tan and Putty

Dress/hat - Azure, Artic Blue and Sky Blue

Flowers/moon - Lemon, Yellow, Canary, Leaf Green, Bright Green, Cinnamon and Raw Sienna

Cat - Ice Grey 1, Ice Grey 2 and Azure.

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

Aud Sentiments - Anything goes and sentiment

Crafty Friends - Something beginning with "B" (blue and best wishes)
