Nicola's Inspiration Post - Thursday 19th April

Hello Crafty Peeps, 

It's the last week of inspiration posts, but you still have plenty of time to enter the challenge this month

Don't forget our theme is USE YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR and you can enter here

This week I challenged the team to use a charm as I wanted to get some of my own onto cards! 

I created an easel card using 'Happy Birthday' as it was perfect for the cupcake charm I wanted to use

You can find out more about my card on my blog here

Inspirational post by Linda

This is my Inspirational Post for this week.

Good Morning to you all.  Today my post is for the Talented Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamps.  She is called "Happy Birthday - Candle Cake Flower Girl".  I colored her in copics and did the back ground in pan pastels.  I wanted it to be a light color just enough to show it is a background.  The background paper is new from Reflections.  The paper is already die cut for you (call that cheating)  and comes in 12 different colors and 4 different designs.  I loved the ones in the pack so had to have it.  I love the way it has the cuts in it so you can see the background card.  The flowers are by fiskars and a die cut by spellbinders.  The leaves were cut with stampin-up and spellbinders.  I added the gems for bling and the bow was an after thought as it needed just a bit more to it.

I hope you will come join us at Ching-Chou Kuik Stamps for our monthly challenge here:http://cck-digitalstamps-challenge.blogspot.co.uk.  This is my inspirational post for this week but the Challenge has a different theme each month and if you enter with a digi image from Ching-Chou Kuik you get two entries for a chance to win.

We have a facebook page to play along with as well and you can find that here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/721131444589832/.  You can be a guest designer on the facebook page as well.  So come on down and play along with us.  

I do hope you will leave me some love and join my site to see what I come up with next week.  Happy Crafting to you all.
