Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog - April 2020

 Today sees the start of our new challenge.

For the month of April 2020 the challenge is:

"ANIMALS".

Due to the current coronavirus situation the world has become a very worrying place.  In times like this us crafters are so lucky as we have our crafting to help get us through the difficult times.

Ching-Chou Kuik would like to give a new image away to everyone that enters the Blog or Facebook Challenge this month.  The image is called "Calla Lily Valley - Greyscale".

NB:  For anyone that enters the Blog of Facebook Challenge in April they will be sent this image once the challenges have closed.

Below you will see a card that Geesje, Blog DT Member has used using the free image that you will get if you enter this month's challenge:

Here is a card that Bonnie, Blog DT Member created using the free image:

As you can see two very beautiful cards made with the free image so why not play along with the challenge this month so you too can have this gorgeous free image.

**************************************************************

To enter this challenge you need to use a rubber stamp or digital stamp (black-and-white/grayscale or partially pre-coloured). 

Just coloured in images are NOT allowed.

NO fully digital cards are allowed. 

Please remember when linking to this challenge you MUST link to your blog post and not just your actual blog.  

As you have taken the time to create something to enter into the challenge the Design Team members like to leave you comments but this is made more difficult when they have to look through your blog to find the right card/creation to comment on.  

Thank you for your understanding.
