Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.
Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
For my bright and cheery birthday card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Beloved Sunshine".
I have coloured the image in with Promarkers, used chalks for the sky and add white gel pen to highlight the centre of the sunflowers.
The backing papers are all scraps from my "scraps folder". I have also used some white card that I have put through an embossing folder for some texture.
I have finished the card off with a stamped sunflower with a glitter centre, die-cut swirl, die-cut sentiment and some Sentimentally Yours gorgeous pearls.

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
This week I have made a birthday card using the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Carnation and Monarch".
I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Picked Raspberry distress ink.
This A5 card blank I have had quite a long time so cannot remember the make. I coloured the butterfly border with my Pan Pastels.
The backing papers are from Debbi Moore and The Works.
I have finished the card off with some lace, grosgrain ribbon, die-cut sentiment and a sparkly Prima butterfly.

Here is a birthday card that I have made using my Debbi Moore Art Deco Summer Moments Compendium. Isn't she a beauty with that lovely dress?
For my card I have a decoupage sheet, background papers, sentiments and the rose embellishment.
As the card was for someone at work I didn't have to worry with trying to keep it flat. It's sad we have to do this but it will be even more needed soon as postage here in the UK goes up again.
I have finished the card off with some glitter ribbon, wide lace and a blue bow that I have for a number of years that came on a box of chocolates!!!

Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.
Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
Back in January 2022 I started a hanger holder to sit by my computer to show me the cards I need to make for that month for birthdays/anniversaries/weddings etc (please see here for January's and February's tags).
This month sees my hanger for March. I did an initial layer of gesso and then used paper to cover the front and the back of the tag. It was such a fiddly business but I got there in the end. I have used scraps from my "scraps folder" so that was good and I also used two pieces of scrap for the border across the tag.
As for the image I have used for this month's tag I have used Ching-Chou Kuik's image called "Little Daisy".
I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and inked around the edge with my brush and Tim Holtz's Gathered Twigs distress ink.
I have finished the tag off with some organza ribbon, stamped sentiment, flower with a brad centre and some rather yummy Sentimentally Yours pearls that I got for Christmas.

Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.
Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
For my anniversary card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Love Barn Owl". I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and then used pearlescent chalks to do a heart shaped halo around the image.
The backing papers I have used are from some years back from a Debbi Moore magazine.
For the plain pieces of card I have used a new A4 weave pattern embossing folder to add some texture.
I have finished the card off with sentiments, die-cut feathers, die-cut hearts and some rather yummy Sentimentally Yours pearls which I got for Christmas.

Here is the Valentine's Day card for my hubby using a kit called "Sloths Just Chillin" by Janet Briggs over at CraftsUPrint. The image is a lot brighter but with the mirri card it was a nightmare to take a photo of so I had to do at a weird angle.
For the card for my husband I have used the decoupage sheet with lots of layers, insert and two sentiments.
The backing papers I have used are from my stash.
I have finished the card off with some die-cut hearts which I then put through a dotty embossing folder, two different grosgrain ribbons and a stamped sentiment.

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.
Last month I showed you the start of my hanger stand to keep by the computer where I store all birthdays/anniversaries etc I need a card for that month.
I still have not decorated the box yet as not sure how I want it to look but have made my hanger for February.
For my hanger I painted it first with white gesso and then red acrylic paint. Once both sides were dry I used various texture/love/heart stamps to decorate the background.
The Ching-Chou Kuik image that I have used is called "Forever Valentine - Greyscale" from the Love Mermaid Set. I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and inked the background with Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans and ink brushes and then added Glossy Accents to the water droplets.
I have finished the hanger off with a sentiment made on the computer, die-cut hearts and some twine.
