Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Friday 17 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 card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Seahorse" (it comes in a set along with the images "Dragonflies" and Ladybug").  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers, chalked the background and added Nuvo drops to the background and image.

The backing papers are by Sara Davies from Crafter's Companion.

Last year I managed to get a small 6x6 seashell embossing folder.  I'd LOVE an A4 one but can't find an A4 one with seashells on it - let me know if I've missed one!!  I have embossed kraft card and then used a copper metallic Pan Pastel to highlight the embossing.

I have finished the card off with a stamped sentiment, pearls and die-cut shells and seahorses (which have all been coloured with Pan Pastels).

 I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Die-cut Divas - Animals

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything goes
