Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 13 December 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:

"'TIS THE SEASON" eg Christmas or Winter".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.

For my Christmas card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Lily in Christmas".  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my Sakura stardust clear pen and white gel pen.

The backing papers are from my stash.  All of the backing papers and image I have inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Peeled Paint distress ink.

I have finished the card off quite simply with three handmade poinsettias and a foiled sentiment.

With Love at Christmas

Here are two Christmas cards I have made using a kit from CraftsUPrint by Gillian Hutchinson called "Christmas Dogs Bumper Kit Four".  I have used the Pug and Westie image but in the set there is also a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Cocker Spaniel.

For both cards I have printer the topper sheet off twice so I could do a little bit of decoupage and also I printed off matching inserts.  The backing papers are from my stash.  I have had to keep the embellishments simple as they needed posting so I have used Viva Decor pearl drops and sentiments from the kit.
