Kym's Inspiration Post - Friday 24 July 2020

 Here is my weekly inspiration post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Blog.

Before I do I'd like to remind you that our challenge this month is:

 "DIE-CUTS OR PUNCHES OR BOTH".

This week the Design Teams were challenged to "PEARLS OR GEMS OR SEQUINS"

Here is my inspiration post with that theme. 

  Here is a little 12.5 x 18cm canvas I have made to go in my craft room.  I do not do gardening and if I lived on my own I wouldn't be worried if I had no garden.  That said I do have two all time favourite flowers, poppies and sunflowers.  

I wanted to make a bright and cheery canvas so I decided to go with the Ching-Chou Kuik digital image called "Keep in Faith" but before I could finish my canvas a new image was released in the Etsy Store "Keep in Faith - Greyscale" so I had to colour that one and use that image instead.

  Here is a picture of my canvas hanging in my craft room.  At least you know now why there was a bit of random thread showing in the first picture!!!

Full details of this project can be found on my blog HERE.

Make sure you keep on popping by every few days as there will be inspiration on this blog from other Design Members, details of any new releases and details of any sales.
