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:
"THINK PINK FOR BREAST CANCER".
This week the Design Team were challenged to "MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS".
Here is my inspiration post with that theme. 
For my Christmas card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Poinsettia Fairy - Greyscale". I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my Sakura gold pen.
The backing papers are from my stash and are lots of different scraps.
I have made my poinsettia by using my Joanna Sheen poinsettia dies and add card candi to the centre.
I have finished the card off with a Lisa Horton stamped sentiment and some organza ribbon.

"THINK PINK FOR BREAST CANCER".
This week the Design Team were challenged to "USE SOME BUTTONS".
Here is my inspiration post with that theme. 
For this card I am giving you a sneaky peak of an image coming to the Ching-Chou Etsy Store in October. It is called "One Lasting Moment".
I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and tried to give a dreamy effect for the image. I have inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed distress inks.
The backing papers are from my stash but did not fit in with my yellow/orange colour scheme so two of the butterfly papers I have coloured with Tim Holtz's Spiced Marmalade distress ink and the other I coloured with Tim Holtz Mustard Seed distress ink.
I have finished the card off with some satin ribbon, lace, Phill Martin Sentimentally Yours banner sentiments and of course some buttons.

"THINK PINK FOR BREAST CANCER".
Here is my inspiration post with that theme. 
For my card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Black Rose". I decided to go with a pink and grey colour scheme for a change.
I have coloured my image in with Promarkers. I have used various texture stamps and Tim Holtz's Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet and Picked Raspberry distress inks to edge the image.
The backing papers are scraps from my stash.
I have cut all the layers of paper and the image with my Tim Holtz distress cutter which I got for Christmas. I love a distressed/deckled edge and I would use some distress scissors I have got and papers/images would get smaller and smaller as nothing looked reasonably straight. With the trimmer I don't have that problem. I LOVE IT!!
I have finished the card off with some die-cut flowers, grey pearls, pink lace, pink ribbon, Phill Martin Sentimentally Yours banner sentiments and some The Works 3D pearl paint (I expected these to stay three dimensional in little mounds but they went flat. They now remind me of Papermania Glitterations I used to buy but a cheaper alternative).

About six weeks ago our eldest son changed his job. He is now back working at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. For his card I have used The Paper Shelter image called "Businessman". I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and fussy cut around the image.
The backing papers are from The Works. I have also used a topper from a Hunkydory small book pad.
I have finished the card off with some twine and card candi.
Our youngest son moved to Southampton on Sunday to start a new job at the University of Southampton. Of course he needed a card as well. This time I have used the pre-coloured topper and image. I cut the image out three times so I could do some decoupage.
I have finished the card off with a sentiment and die-cut stars which I have put through two different embossing folders.

Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.
The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge.
This month our sponsor is "SheepSki Designs":
When I saw this image "Rudolf's Mischief - image no 36" I had to use this one. You get a Father Christmas and a Rudolph image. On this occasion I just chose to use the Rudolph off-the-page image.
I have coloured the image in with Promarkers, inked around the image with Tim Holtz's Gathered Twigs distress ink, added Stickles glitter glue to Rudolph's hat trim and pom-pom and added Glossy Accents to his nose to make it lovely and shiny.
The backing papers are all from my stash and I have distressed with gathered Twigs distress ink and my blending brushes. I have also used Dolly Dimples wood effect card.
I have finished the card off quite simply as I think it's perfect for a young male adult so I have used "Happy Christmas" Lisa Horton stamps, red/white twine and some die-cut stars.
