Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 20 June 2022


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

Our challenge each month is "ANYTHING GOES".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
I have decided to make a bright and cheery card this week.

The Ching-Chou Kuik image I have used is called "Love is Fearless" and I have coloured my image in with Promarkers.  I have edged the image with Tim Holtz's Picked Raspberry and Dusty Concord distress inks.

The backing papers I have used are from my stash box (there's even a die-cut bit missing underneath the image but that's our secret isn't it?).

I have kept the embellishments quite simple as the card needs to be posted so I have added some pearls, lace and a die-cut sentiment.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Craft Rocket - Girls
CD Sunday Plus - Anything goes with a CD/USB/digital (digital image used)

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 13 June 2022


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

Our challenge each month is "ANYTHING GOES".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
For my birthday card I have used scraps of 8x8 card with a blue and green colour scheme so that determined the colours I used on my image.

I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Sakura in March" and I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and edged with a blue chalk ink pad.

I have finished the card off with two doily layers, sentiment from a CD, lace, ribbon, Viva decor pearl drops and some gorgeous little flowers.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 6 June 2022


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

We have changed our challenges and they will now always be "ANYTHING GOES".

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
Well I am now six months into my birthday/anniversary card stand.  I decorate a tag each month and on the reverse I print off the dates cards are needed and for what.  I keep the completed tag in its stand by my computer.  I still haven't got around to decorating the actual stand.  My thinking is a New York theme as our front room is a New York theme.

For my tag I painted it with white gesso and then sponged on two different blue acrylic paints using little bits of kitchen sponge/scourers chopped up.  I then used various stamps of birds, feathers and dots to give more interest to the background.

The Ching-Chou Kuik image I have used is called "Awake in Purple Dream" and I have coloured in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my black and white gel pens.

As the tag needs to fit in the stand along with 11 others I cannot go "over the top" with embellishments so I have used some torn washi tape, die-cut birds, sentiment printed off the computer and a very small scrap of ribbon.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Through the Purple Haze - Anything but square
Craft Rocket - Girls
Critter Crazy - Anything goes with critter
