Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 12 July 2019

 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 "MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND".

This week the Design Team were challenged to "SHABBY CHIC/DISTRESSED".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.

 For my shabby chic/distressed card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Longing For" (it comes in a set with a black-and-white image and a partially coloured image by Ching-Chou Kuik herself).  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and went for mainly a pink and brown colour scheme.

I have used various design papers from my stash along with kraft card. All of the layers have been distressed with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and then inked around with a brown VersaMagic ink pad. I have also used ink through stencils and also used some texture paste.

I have finished the card off with a doily, wide lace, grosgrain ribbon, sentiment and some flowers.

The Promarkers that I have used are: 

Face/skin/wings - Saffron, Spice, Coral and Oatmeal 
Hair - Tan, Pastel Beige and Khaki
Flowers - Coral, Lime Zest and Lime Green.
