Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 10 April 2020

  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:

 "ANIMALS".

Due to the current coronavirus situation the world has become a very worrying place.  In times like this us crafters are so lucky as we have our crafting to get us through the difficult times.

Ching-Chou Kuik would like to give a new image away to everyone that enters the Blog or Facebook Challenge.  The image is called "Calla Lily Valley - Greyscale".

NB:  For anyone that enters the Blog of Facebook Challenge in April they will be sent this image once the challenges have closed.

Here is my inspiration post with an "Animals" theme.  
For my birthday card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Nocturnal Sparkle".  I have coloured my image in with Promarkers.

The backing papers I have used are from a pad that I won in a challenge and it's by Trimcraft and various layers I have cut out of the paper with my Sue Wilson hexagon dies.

I have finished the card off with some crochet flowers a friend made for me, fabric leaves, stamped sentiment and some Dawn Bibby diamante gems.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Morgan's Artworld - Anything goes
Move Along with the Times - Diamante embellishments
CCC Digi Creations - Add a flower/flowers
More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything goes with the option of yellow
Dragonfly Dreams - Add a flower/flowers
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything goes
Creative Craft Cottage - CAS or fully loaded (fully loaded for me)
Digi Choosday - Anything goes
Penny's Paper - Anything goes
Creative Moments - Anything goes with the option of something to look forward to
Lemon Shortbread - Anything goes
Die-cut Divas - Animals
Crafter's Castle - Anything goes
Mix it Up - Anything goes with the option of a fancy fold
Fab n Funky - Birthday
As You Like It - Is your favourite animals or people on projects and why? (I would have to say I colour more people images than I do than animals as I really struggle getting the fur right on some animals.  Yes this card has an animal on it but you will see that I couldn't do its fur justice!!)
Alphabet Challenge - Anything goes
Crafty Catz - Anything goes with the option of a colour theme
Polkadoodles - Anything goes

Hi Kym! What a great coloration of this adorable image! I really love this color palette of soft peaches and warm blues! You have added so much depth and interest with the die cut frame and fiber floral elements! This is really pretty! Thanks so much for helping us celebrate our 10th Anniversary at the Alphabet Challenge!
