Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 13 February 2023


The Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group challenge for February 2023 is "ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES".

Here is my inspiration post.

For my mermaid themed card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Sea Rose".

I opted to use the image with the circular frame.  I have coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut out.

I have used various papers from my stash and cut with my Tim Holtz deckle edged trimmer and added some blue Versa Magic ink pad around all of the layers.  For the background I have used a blue Pan Pastel and then ink through a circular stencil for the bubbles in the water and have highlighted these with Glossy Accents.

I have finished off a die-cut seahorse, stamped sentiment, Stamps by Chloe foliage stamp stamped onto acetate and heat embossed with a bronze embossing powder, three blue dew drops and a stamped and some die-cut shells.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
