Ching-Chou Kuik - Exotic Halloween

 Here is another scrapbook page I have made.  This time I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image by the artist Ching-Chou Kuik and it is called "Exotic Halloween".  This image is available as a digital stamp, single rubber stamp and as a multi-image plate (Sheet 11, Plate 38 - the image Exotic Halloween comes on the multi-image plate with Time Flies, Moonlight Whispering and Fluttering Butterflies.

I have stamped the image with Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo distress ink and used water to bleed out the colour a bit.  To add some tones I have used my Rusty Hinge distress ink as well.  The backing papers were all scraps.  I'll let you into a secret the top patterned paper wasn't big enough so I had to put a border over the top as I thought it matched the image well.  I have finished the card off with a torn around sentiment, flowers (one of which I inked around with Vintage Photo) and some Perfect Pearls.

Exotic Halloween

Halloween must be my favorite Feast ever!

I had so much fun coloring this gorgeous

one from Ching-Chou Kuik!
She is availble as a rubber stamp or a digi.

I colored her in with my distressmarkers and distresspads.

I added some sparkle accents with glitter gelpen and glossy accents.

The background I made of aquarel paper and with 

distresspads and water. 

Than I embossed it with a Provocraft embossingsfolder

with some skull on it.

Behind the image I added some bandage to

give it a little grunge effect.

For the sparkles I added some gemstones.

I hope you have fun just as I did!

A new type of Halloween card for me! I think this image is so cool...I love the transparency of the candles. Since the image is busy I went with a very simple layout.

Exotic Halloween.....

This is one of the very first Sweet Pea stamps that I ever got and have been waiting to showcase her.  Her name is "Exotic Halloween by ©ching-chou kuik".  I think she is a sumptuous way to celebrate Halloween. She can be purchased as a single stamp or on a sheet with 3 others.

As most often I have colored my lovely with copics and then added stickles to parts of the image, got to have the sparkle!!  The glow of her candles got a nice thick coating of Glossy Accents.  My background was done with a Versa Mark pad and chalk. I used a technique for highlighting her that I saw on one of my blogging buddies posts. I took a double sided piece of DP and decided where I wanted my picture to pop out and started cutting down to the center.  After, I took each cut and an eyelet and adhered them to each other.  I left a bit of a loop on each one to give depth! I also took some crinkly seam binding ribbon that I made and whipped up the green and purple flower. I think it kept the softness of this exquisite beauty!!! 

Don't forget to visit "In A Sweet Pea Dream" and try your hand at the current challenge!

A Sweet Pea Halloween

Hi everyone :) I felt in the Halloween mood yesterday when I was working on this card. Sweet Pea Stamps has some awesome Halloween images. For my card, I used an image called Exotic Halloween. I had so much fun coloring this one. I colored the image with copics, and then added some Stardust Stickles to the pumpkins. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but I added Glossy Accents to the light from the candles to give it a shine/glow. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from DCWV (I just found it at JoAnn's last weekend). For some finishing touches, I added pearls, a bow, rhinestones, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thanks so much for stoppin by!

Hugs, Christine

Exotic Halloween

Continuing my recent dark mood, Exotic Halloween seems to fit right in. I do love Halloween and all the spooky things that come with it.

The card was created with Club Scrap Card Stock along with some unknown paper, Hero Arts flowers, Copics and Queen &Co. pearls.

Connie-Exotic Halloween

I know it's not Halloween yet, but this image by ching-chou kuik

draws me and I finally gave in and used it.

I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink and colored with Copic markers.

I see that I need more blacks and grays for better 

shading, but hey!  I am trying!

I cut her out with a Spellbinders "Classic Frame" die and sponged green dye ink on the edges.

I tied some raffia and a tiny little mint bone around one side 

and added some glittery flowers in a corner.

Some PPA with a sprinkle of glitter added sets off the aura around

the candles.

Below is a closer view that hopefully shows the glitz:

Aren't those pumpkins just the cutest??
