Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps June 2020 Facebook Challenge - UNDER THE SEA or FUN IN THE SUN or BY THE SEA

Today also sees the start of the new Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Challenge.  

This month the topic is "UNDER THE SEA or FUN IN THE SUN or BY THE SEA".

Here is my inspiration post with this theme.  

I decided to make a clean and simple card (CAS).  I stressed out making this card more than I do with a card for lots of embellishments - what's all that about?

The image I have used is the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Sunset Jasmine".

I decided I wanted to do a "to the edge" image so I found a backing paper I liked by Sara Davies from Crafter's Companion of the sea/beach and thought it was perfect so I die-cut my image with a stitched circle die and then coloured the image in with Promarkers.  I used chalks for the background and I used a combination of blues, greys and pink so it would blend nicely with the sky on the backing paper.

I have finished the card off very simply with a stamped sentiment and some pearls.

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

Creative Moments - Anything goes with the option of birds and/or bees (what has inspired me through lockdown is Captain Tom and all the generous people worldwide that gave to the NHS Charities and also the dedication of ALL key workers that have put their lives on the line for others.  Their dedication means so very much)
