Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 3 April 2023


The Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group challenge for April 2023 is:

"ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES".

Here is my inspiration post.
This week I decided to make a page for my new journal.

I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Green Frog Elf".

I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and used pearlescent chalks for the background.

I have used Tim Holtz's Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Festive Berries and Fired Brick distress ink to make a bright and cheery background.  I have then used various stamps to add some depth to the page.

I have finished the card off with a die-cut flower with brad centre, some corrugated cardboard arrows coloured with a green Promarker and the sentiment "create moments".

I am entering this journal page into the following challenges:

Digi Choosday - Anything goes
Penny's Paper - Anything goes
Fan n Funky - Lots of layers
