Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Pearls/Gems

This is my first time purchasing digi stamps from Ching-Chou Kuik,  I  have always loved fairy images. I love  how this turned out, a few dies and a feather to add dimension.


This is Sakura from the Flora and Fauna Set 1. Coloured with Copics. I must admit it has been on my desk waiting on me to make a card. 

Cheers Cheryl

Auroawings #Challenge 66 - Black and White with a touch of colour

Hi Everyone I am finally getting this on the blog, I decided to colour the flower ballerina.
This was my first purchase and my favorite of the Aurorawings digi stamps.



I managed to scrape to together some Black and Red card,  Just had enough to finish of the card. 
It didn't take me long to colour at all,  used Copics BV23 C-1 B60 C-3 RV29.   This is the first time I have tried the monochrome look,  with  a limited amount of grey markers.


I changed the colour of the shoes to red, made them really stand out, some ribbon and a charm. I had to dig out my sewing scissors to get the tails right on the ribbon. Added the die and was finish.  
I will probably give it to mum for mothers day she loves this image as well.

Cheers Cheryl

Aurora Wings Anything but a card Challenge #62


Hi there this my entrant in the Aurora Wing Challenge.  I must admit I had fun with this journal pge.
Digi stamp is Rite of Spring.

I used Spectrum Noir paper and water coloured the image with the Distress Oxides.


I fussy cut the image and started work on my journal page.
Items used were Dylusions Washi Tape which became the idea for my colour scheme.
Dylusions Basic Background.  Just used the alphabetical stamp.
Tim Holtz Distress Oxides
Broken China
Cracked Pistashio
Peeled Paint
Wilted Violet
Worn Lipstick

Ranger tag  using the Wilted Violet & Cracked Pitashhio Distress Ink Pad, sprayed with water and using Cracked Pistashio stamped a stamp from the Tim Holtz  way with words stamp set, then heat embossed using Rangers clear embossing  powder. 

Tim Holtz  Mosiac stencil with Wilted Violet.  Made the image stand out a bit more.
