Thursday's Inspirational post

Hello CCK fans!  Today's inspirational post is from one of the recent new releases called Gingerbread Man Parade which can be found in Ching Chou's Etsy shop here along with many of her other beautiful images for your coloring pleasure.  While you are here won't you consider playing along in the current challenge which can be found here.  The theme is Christmas/New Years.  Hope to see your beautiful creations!

Gingerbread Man Parade was colored with Copics. I used chalks for the background on the image and added some jewel accents on the gingerbread people.  I used a memento ink pad to edge the paper as well as some sparkly flaky glitter to give a look of snow.  I used a Kaleidacolor pad called Vineyard.   For the backdrop paper I made a glitter background using two different colors of glitter and a stencil.  Hope you are enjoying the joys of the season!

Hugs,

Helen

Sylvia's view on "Winter Warmth"

Hello dearest CCK friends! 

After a little break, I decided to come back...

Today I want to share my view on 

"Winter Warmth

Is'nt she gorgeous with her little friend?

I colored this duo with my Promarkers and the

Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils.

I wanted to make a different cardshape.

This gives a real winter scenery.

I have made my own background papers 

with Distress Inks and some salt to 

give it a beautiful snowy texture onto it.

It is very simple to do.

You need (cheap) aquarell papers, distress inks and water..

For the finishing touch, you add whilst the paper is still wet,

some salt... The only thing you have to do... is to let it dry naturally.

This gives the best result.

Oh... and you need not to be afraid of dirty hands... LOL. 

I have clear rhinestones (was given to me from a dear friend),

and to add some color onto it, I have used my promarkers.

This matches perfectly to the papers I have made.

Okay dearest friends.. I hope I have inspired you with

this gorgeous image from Ching-Chou Kuik.

You can find this image only in the Etsy Store

( the link is above).

  

Don't forget to join us for the monthly challenge.

This time the topic is "Christmas/New Year.

We also have a FB group.

And over there is also a monthly challenge going on.

Check it out.. you can win some amazing digital images from the Etsy Store from CCK!

**********************************
Just to remind you the "rules" of our monthly challenge are very basic and can be found in the blog sidebar or in a page at the top of the blog but for ease of reference they are:

The rules of the Challenge Blog will be simple:

(1) You need to link to your card and NOT YOUR BLOG. 

(2) You may combine our challenge with any other challenges but you MUST make a link back to this Challenge Blog. If there is no link your entry will be removed from the list.

(3) NO backlinking is allowed (eg entering a card/creation into the challenge which has been previously shown on your blog).

(4) The challenge will start on the 1st day of the month at 12.05AM GMT and will end two days before the end of the month at 12.05AM GMT. This will facilitate a winner being picked before the next challenge starts.

(5) There will be a limit of THREE entries per person. Any additional entries will be removed.

(6) Any digital stamp/rubber stamp image is allowed but if you use an image available from Ching-Chou Kuik's Etsy Store you will gain another entry into the challenge - now who wouldn't want more chances to win? If you use a Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamp from her Etsy Store you will need to link to your main blog only for this. For the second entry you need to link direct to your main blog.

(7) Please TURN OFF Word Verification on your blogs. It makes it so difficult for Design Team members to comment.

(8) The lucky winner picked by Random.org will win 2 digital images from the Etsy Store of their choice.  There will also be an "Artist's Choice Award" - any card/creation made using a Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp from the Etsy Store will be looked at by Ching-Chou Kuik herself and the winner will have a badge to display proudly on their blog/Facebook and will also win 3 digital stamps from the Etsy Store of their choice

(9) Most of all - have fun!!!

It would be lovely if you could play along with the challenge this month.

Kym's Inspiration Post - Monday 1 December 2014

Hello! This is Kym here again.  

It is time for me to show you another inspiration post.

I decided to make a gift bag.  These are so expensive to buy in the shops so I do try to make my own.

For my decorated bag I have used one of the newer Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamps available in her Etsy Store called "Christmas Tree".  She's a gorgeous little girl with a tree, present, some candy cane and a gorgeous little teddy bear.
