Hi there! Just me doing some more catching up! Today I am sharing a couple of Ching-Chou Kuik cards I made. These images are so beautiful and a dream to color! And sadly, another collection of underused images in my digital stamp stash. I really need to make 2017 a year of variety!
It's the weekend but we don't have much planned here. Dinner at my parents'. A 100 days of school project. Dishes, laundry, Sunday meal prep. Maybe I can squeeze in a little crafting. (There's some big game on or something, but probably not in this house. Lol) I have so many digi images already printed and I with my mom's birthday and Valentine's Day coming up I know I will need a few cards.
The first card was a special order from my co-worker for his wife's birthday. I colored Keep in Faith because she likes sunflowers. I then used some of my La-La-Land Crafts die collection to give the card layers and texture. Here I've used Flag Banner, Lattice Doily Border, Open Leaf, Hello Tag, and Heart Header Border. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. Lastly, I added a big flower and a bling flourish. The stamped sentiment is from a clear acrylic set called Sentiment Circles by Katie Pertiet (Autumn Leaves).
My second project was a holiday card for my son's principal. I colored Wishing Stars for the occasion. The star border is Tim Holtz Star Cluster (Sizzix) and the other stars are Accent It - Rock and Roll Die-namics from My Favorite Things Stamps. Filigree Border, Snowflake Border, and Snowflake Flurry dies are from La-La-Land Crafts. A couple of flowers finished it off.
I hope you like my creations! It's awfully quite in blogland lately! I'd like to give a shout out to Glennis for her recent comment and for taking the time to read my blog!
Have a fantastic day!

Welcome to another Corrosive Challenge! I have been having a rough time crafting lately. First I was sick! Fever, chills, the whole shebang! And last week I somehow managed to acquire a pinched nerve in my neck that is radiating pain down my right arm (and of course I'm right handed). Between that and the horrid weather that has continued to plague us until yesterday, I have spent my spare time on the couch in a funk. My neck/shoulder/arm still hurt and my mojo was off but I soldiered on to make a card because we are introducing a new sponsor this fortnight: Ching-Chou Kuik! Her enchanting images can be found HERE in her etsy shop.
Our theme is "Floral Fantasy". Just use flowers somewhere on your creation (part of the image, on your paper, as an embellishment) and you're in! Ching-Chou was kind enough to allow us each to select an image to work with and I picked Embrace the Ocean. I used to her make a thank you card for someone who recently did something very kind and generous for me!
She is colored in Copics and cut using Classic Ovals Nestabilities (Spellbinders) then matted on Bead Ovals Nestabilities (Spellbinders). I added Liquid Pearl in White Opal to the pearls in her hair. I also used adhesive pearls around the image. Papers are Everyday Enchantment from Stampin' Up. Assorted Martha Stewart punches, flowers, and a sentiment from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps' Vintage Affections - For All You Do stamp set adorn my card. The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches (#295).
Pop over to the challenge blog to see the floral beauty the team has to share with you! I will attempt to have a productive day, even if that just means getting caught up on dishes, laundry, and my TV shows on Hulu.
Copics used: E00, E04, E11, E21, E70, E74, Y28, YR02, YR24, R20, R35, R37, BG10, BG23, BG45, BG75, YG17
