Sylvia's Inspiration Post on "Love Birds"

Hello Crafty People,

Well, this month is all about LOVE!

The monthly challenge has the LOVE theme all over.

That's why we have all created a project/card with

something that describes LOVE.

Okay.. enough talking about LOVE!

This is "Love Birds".

I colored her up with my distress markers.

The background papers are made with distress inks and

a stencil mask from Dutch Doobadoo.

The cut out corners are from CreaLies.

I so love them.

Just to give it a bit of sparkles, I've added some pearls onto it.

Well... this was my inspiration for this week.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

You can enter your monthly challenge card over here:

You can also join in the monthly challenge at FB

and showcase your creations over there:

See you next time!

Big hugs,

Sylvia

Congratulations Jane. 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.

Unfortunately as Ching-Chou Kuik doesn't have access to internet much the details of her Artist Choice Award will be published ASAP.

Thank you for your understanding.
