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:
"SOMETHING NEW eg NEW YEAR or NEW HOME or NEW JOB or NEW CRAFTY ITEMS TO USE".
This week the Design Team were challenged to "ANYTHING GOES".
Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
This is my second altered notebook I've made for the New Year.
I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Sakura in March".
I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Mustard Seed distress ink and highlighted areas with my Sakura stardust clear pen.
The backing papers are from The Works. I coloured the image in when I was away in October and went for the pink and yellow colour scheme. One of the backing papers I coloured over with my Mustard Seed distress ink for it to match perfectly.
I have finished my project off with an MDF word "smile" coloured in with a gold Promarkers, yellow and white lace, pink satin ribbon, large flat back gems, thin satin ribbon tied on the spine as a bow and finally some die-cut letters saying "IT'S 2022".
