Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 5 July 2021


Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.

Our challenge this month is:

"EMBOSSING - WET or DRY or BOTH".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme. 
For my card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Keep in Faith - Greyscale".

I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed distress inks.

The backing papers are digital downloads from Summertime Designs (sadly no longer available).

The first layer I have put through a large dots Crafter's Companion embossing folder and the frilly layer was using a Darice embossing folder and then I cut around the shape.

I am still going along with trying to use bits-and-pieces I've had for a long time.  Some years ago I won a challenge and I won some die-cut jigsaw pieces by Dutch Doobadoo.  I inked the pieces with the Squeezed Lemonade distress ink.  I put the pieces back into a square shape and I then used a grey Versafine Clair ink pad and stamped a magazine freebie sunflower onto the jigsaw pieces.  Once separated I then used my metallic gold Pan Pastel around the edges.

I have finished the card off quite simply with some rustic twine from Crafter's Companion and a die-cut sentiment.
