Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 18 July 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 last inspiration card for July I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Save the Tears" as I thought it was perfect for a thinking of you card I needed.  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and chalked the background.

The backing papers are all from my scraps folder.  With the piece of blue card I put it through a dandelion embossing folder and then used a file to scrape off the blue top of the card to reveal the white core.  I gutted some of the blue backing papers and used the paper with my dandelion dies and inked the edges.

I have finished the card off with a sentiment from a magazine, ribbon and some sequins in the centre of the embossed dandelions.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 11 July 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.
Well this is my 7th hanger that I have made and this one is for July.  Sadly the box/stand for the hangers is still not decorated as I have not fully decided on what to do and have not been up to crafting lately.

For my July hanger I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Keep in Faith - Greyscale".  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers.

I have painted the tag with a gold acrylic paint but thought it was a bit too dark so I put white gesso on it.  I then used various leaf and flower stamps to add some texture to the background. 

I then used a small sunflower stamp, stamped the images and coloured them in and fussy cut out.  I have added to the tag and in some areas put half the sunflower on and I think it works quite well.  I've had to try and restrict the dimension of the hangers as they might not all fit in at the end if I keep putting thick embellishments on them!! 

Finally I added a sentiment off the computer for "July" and added the dates and details on the back for birthdays/anniversaries etc that I need for July each year.

I am entering this tag into the following challenges:

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 4 July 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 Mother's Day my youngest son bought me a gorgeous London mug from Starbucks.  It had a flimsy lid but the base of the box was very strong so I decided I would try to make my own lid using my Crafter's Companion box making board.  It took a couple of attempts using A4 paper stuck together before I was happy with it and then cut out of A3 card.

When making boxes it is easier decorating before you put together so I used various blue and brown inks followed by using the same inks through a stencil to get more dimension.  When I was satisfied with all of the layers I glued the box together.

For the top of the box I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Strength".  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers, tore carefully around the edge of the image and then inked around the edge of the image.

To finish off the top of the box I added some felt and paper flowers and blue pearl drops.

I now have a snazzy box to keep the digital images I have coloured waiting to be made into projects.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps "Just Colour It" Challenge - July 2022

In April 2022 the "Just Colour It" challenge started over on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.

There will be still the Monthly Challenge but this one has been specifically set up for those people that just like to colour Ching-Chou Kuik images and do not make their images into cards/scrapbook pages/mixed media etc.
The topic for the "Just Colour It" Challenge is always "ANYTHING GOES".
For my coloured in image I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Winter Warmth - Greyscale".

The colouring mediums I have used are:

Promarkers
Pencils
White gel pen.

Why not print off a Ching-Chou Kuik image and colour it in and enter this challenge. 

We'd love to see what you create.
