Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog - June 2016 - Pearls and lace

Thank you to all those crafters that entered last month's challenge.

As mentioned anyone that entered that used an image from the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store would get a second entry into the draw. 

The winner of 2 digital images from the Etsy Store is:

No 13 and that card has been created by Amy.  This is the card that Amy made:

Congratulations Amy.  Please pop on over to the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store and e-mail me with your choice of 2 images.  Make sure you take your Monthly Challenge Winner badge from the sidebar to add to your blog.

Every month there is an "Artist's Choice Award".  The winner of this award will be picked by Ching-Chou Kuik herself.  To be in with a chance of winning this award you need to use one of Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps from her Etsy Store for your card/creation.  At the end of the month Ching-Chou Kuik will look at all those cards/creations using one of her digital stamps from the Etsy Store and pick one winner that will get the "Artist's Choice Award" and will also get to pick 5 digital stamps of their choice from the Etsy Store.

Ching-Chou Kuik certainly had a lot of beautiful cards/creations to choose from but the winner of the "Artist's Choice Award" for May 2016 is Amy:

Congratulations Amy.  Please pop on over to the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store and e-mail me with your choice of 5 images.  Make sure you take your Monthly Challenge Winner badge from the sidebar to add to your blog.

Now is time to reveal the name of the Guest Designer.  Only one person added "GDT" after their name so the lucky winner as Guest Designer for the next challenge is Wendy.

Congratulations Wendy.  I will be in touch with you shortly to give you details of the July Challenge and for you to let me know what image you would like to use for the challenge as a "thank you" for being the Guest Designer.

Today sees the start of another challenge.

For the month of June 2016 the challenge is "PEARLS AND LACE".

Unfortunately we had no-one request to be a Guest Designer for June so we will have to wait until next month for a Guest Designer creation.

Don't forget if you would like to be a Guest Designer for a forthcoming challenge please remember to add "GDT" after you name in the InLinkz or add a comment in the comment box.

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.
