Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration Post - Monday 8 May 2023

Sadly we have ended the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Monthly Challenge due to lack of entrants.

Instead the Design Team members will be posting three cards/projects each month on the Facebook Group for inspiration on what you could make with Ching-Chou Kuik's amazing images.

Here is one of my inspiration posts.

One of my fellow Design Team members asked for some Christmas images recently and it spurred me onto making some Christmas cards.

For this Christmas card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik pre-coloured image called "Crimson Holly".  She comes in a set along with Cherish Christmas and Holly Night.

I printed the image off onto glossy photo paper and then cut the image out with some nesting scallop dies so I could do a pyromage effect with them.  I've taken my photo so you can see the raised areas.  I like doing decoupage or pyromage with the pre-coloured images - maybe its because when I started crafting I started with decoupage cards.

The backing papers are from a gorgeous paper pad from the Hobby Lobby when we went to Utah last year.  I so did not want to start this paper pad but it had to be done.  Just wish we had this store in the UK.

I have finished the card off with a Lily of the Valley digital sentiment and some holly leaves cut out from scraps left of the backing paper ("waste not, want not" but crumbs they were fiddly to cut out with my dodgy hands and eyes let alone inking them!!).
