Kym's Inspiration Post - Friday 7 April 2017

 Hello! This is Kym here again.  

Don't forget the new challenge started on 1 April 2017.  

The topic for this month is "UNDER THE SEA" (this can include animals/mermaids sitting by the sea as at some stage they go into the sea).

This is my project with this theme.

 For my altered art project I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Purple Tender".  This is one of my all time favourite Ching-Chou Kuik images and I was delighted when it made its way into the Etsy Store.

Full details of my post on my blog can be found HERE.

Make sure you keep on popping by every few days as there will be inspiration on this blog from other Design Members, showcased cards/creations from people have entered the challenge or posted on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group, details of any new releases and details of any sales.

Vannessa's Inspiration Post - Saturday 25th March 2017

Good afternoon and huge apologies that my Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration post is late. I didn't get chance to make it last weekend and had good intentions to make it up one evening during the week. Unfortunately that all went out of the window. Work was really busy and I was also busy writing a job application for a new job, so with all that going on I kept falling asleep really early!

Anyway here is my card for this week's inspiration, using the gorgeous Turn Into The Wind. I used some colours inspired by my friend's baby blanket that she had covering her new baby when we met up last weekend. A gorgeous blanket of light brown, coral and aqua. I loved it and came home to colour this gorgeous image using similar colours.

She has been coloured with Copics and you can find out more about her here in my blogpost. 

Don't forget to check out all the other gorgeous design team posts this week and why not join in the fun with our challenge this month? There are some fabulous prizes to be won!

You can also join our Facebook group for more inspiration and we have a monthly Facebook Challenge as well.
