Connie-Another Kuik Butterfly!

This gorgeous image made by ching-chou kuik for

 Sweet Pea Stamps

is titled simply "Butterfly"

You will find her by clicking 

 Sweet Pea Stamps

and viewing Plate #211.  There are more just 

as beautiful as this on that plate!

I colored with Distress markers, trimmed the image and 

went around it with black to touch up any spots of white I missed.

The only bling I added was some diecuts by 

memorybox

"Corner Bow"

as this image speaks for itself!!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Connie-Beauty In Nature

This gorgeous

image is done by ching-chou kuik

and is titled

"Butterfly With Flower"

You can find this on plate #211

over at 

 Sweet Pea Stamps

I've had this colored for some time but couldn't 

decide what to do with it when I spied this

pretty paper on a CD case I was

"repurposing" for stamp storage.

Colored with Copic markers and trimmed 

out and popped up on this 

paper was all the image need IMO

A small rub-on verse was all 

that I added.

Hope you like it!

Variations Week: Holley's View

Hello everyone! I hope you have been enjoying the variations on the Toucan stamp this week.  This gorgeous design is from artist ching-chou kuik on Plate #211.  What a stunning image.  We don't have any toucans around here in Austin, but we are surrounded by native parrots.  Not the Scarlet Macaws, but green parrots actually live in the "wild" in my neighborhood. 

The other day I was walking by my neighbor's house (she has bird feeders) and I looked up at the power line, there was ELEVEN parrots right there.  WOW.  Sight to be seen, and a squawk you can hear!  Now, if we just had these awesome toucans in our neighborhood, imagine seeing that.  I think the parrots actually came from Mexico at some time and just settled here.  Amazing.   Be sure and check out all the beautiful stamps on this sheet from artist ching-chou kuik. 

Cheers, Holley

Variations Week: Alex's View

I have been having so much fun with these Variations Weeks.  I color up images that I either haven't before, or might not have gotten to like this one, Toucan by ching chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I really love the images on this entire sheet.  You can see how I used the butterfly image "here" if you would like.  The colors for the Toucan were so cheerful and worked well with this Basic Grey paper.

Get Inky!

Variations Week; Karina's View

Hello everyone, now it is my turn to show you what I made with this fabulous image 'Toucan' by ching-chou kuik's. I must confess I took an image of a real toucan to colour mine. And I quite like how it turned out. This image is available as a single stamp. And on Plate # 211 together with three more brilliant images.

I coloured the image with Copics. The background papers are from My Mind's Eye... love those papers! Below you can see a close up of the image.

I wish you a happy day!
Hugs, Karina

Variations Week: Connie's View

This week the DT got to work with an image by 

ching-chou kuik titled

"Toucan"

which you can purchase alone or with

other gorgeous stamps on

plate #211 over at

Sweet Pea Stamps

For my view I layered the image on a

diecut frame that came with my

Genius plates (no mfg name on this).

I layered this onto an embossed panel 

(Spellbinders M'Bossabilities)

"Flower Fun" and added

a diecut by Marianne Creatables

and some flowers by Wild Orchid.

I double-cut one of the stamped

flowers and popped it up for dimension.

I found a color photo of this lovely bird

so I could get the colors somewhat close...

not sure if I succeeded?

Below is a close-up of the Toucan image

with the popped flower:

Be sure to stop back daily as the Team will

be giving you a sample of

different views all week!

Variations Week: Kate's View

Hi I'm Kate (aka Sparkle Tart) and I'm very excited to be participating in Variations Week for the first time, though I'm a bit nervous as the regular DT gals all create such stunning cards! For this variations week we are using the tropical image designed by Ching Chou Kuik, 'Toucan' available as a single image or as part of a fabulous plate - ©ching chou kuik's sheet 44, Plate 211.

I've chosen to colour my image with Copic markers and enhance the colours with spica pens, these are wonderful for adding more than just shimmer.  If you look at the close up image below, you get a sneak preview of the technique I used to apply the Spica - can you spot the technique? 

Don't worry if you can't figure it out from the image, because I've created a special clip to show you what I did. You can watch the clip below, or a larger version on our YouTube Channel.
Hope your day sparkles,
Kate P.

Butterfly with Flower

This Butterfly with Flower is one of the new images from the new Plate #211 of designs by ching-chou kuik.  This plate is not the girls, but different animals and they are all more gorgeous than the last.  I have not done this image justice, but I did enjoy working with it.

I paired the image with background paper from Basic Grey and some lovely corner dies.

Get Inky!!!
