Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Wednesday 6 May 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:

 "EMBOSSING - WET OR DRY OR BOTH".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme. 
Here is a bright and cheery birthday card I have made using the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Ladybug" (which comes in a set along with "Butterfly").  I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added Glossy Accents to both ladybugs.  I have fussy cut around the image.

For this card I decided to do both wet and dry embossing.  I used a large dot Embossalicious embossing folder from Crafter's Companion with some red card.  I have used a music stamp from a bird collage set from Crafter's Companion and heated with white embossing powder.  I have then inked around the edge with a Versa Magic white chalk ink pad.

The bright and cheery backing papers are from The Works.

I have finished the card off with a "fly high" sentiment from the stamp sent which has been embossed with white embossing powder, LOTV digital sentiment, satin ribbon, grosgrain ribbon and some gems.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
