The Dragonfly by Ching Chou Kuik....

Goodmorning Sweet Pea's :) 

Today I want to show you this card that I created with Ching Chou Kuik's The Dragonfly digistamp. 

I coloured her with Spectrum Noir markers and pencils. Used my own digipapers as sometimes I feel extra creative and make some myself ;) LOL but only If I have nothing else to do. So that doesn't happy often.

Added some roses and made extra petals with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch and a retro flower punch by EK success. 

I totally love the colourcombination on this one as it is not one you think off very much.

Well I hope you enjoyed my card.

hugs Ria

The Dragonfly

Sweet Pea Stamps

Today is my day to showcase an image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have opted to use The dragonfly by Ching Chou Kuik

I haven't made an easel card for ages so thought I would make one for this card. The digi, being in a circle shape was just perfect for a circular easel card I think.  To begin with I digitally designed the base layer and the coloured shading for the front, also adding two circles of dragonflies, printed very lightly so they are just visible but would not distract from the digi.  (oops re the photo - I obviously had something blocking the light LOL)

Next I got out my watercolour paints, they have not seen the light of day for a few years and painted the background of the digi with a mixture of purple and cyan.  Once that was dry (after my cup of coffee) I then coloured the digi with Promarkers.

 To finish off the digi I used Crystal Stickles on the wings of the dragonflies and the trim of the dress. Gems were added to the centre of each flower and Lilac Liquid Pearls to the circular surround.

I should have mentioned that the print outs were then attached to purple card and cut with Spellbinders Grand Circles.  For the easel section I folded more purple card in half and used the same Spellbinder die to but it.  Some small dragonfly brads were added to the inside layer and more Lilac Liquid Pearls around the inner circular area to match the front of the card.

 I really fancied some lace on this card and decided to place it around the back, slightly ruffling it.  The lace was attached with a strong adhesive to the lower section which will be covered by the card top and also just in the centre area on the part that will be visible.  Then I cut a small scalloped circle with Spellbinders Scalloped Circles and cut it in half.  A few more Lilac Liquid Pearls and time for more coffee while all this was drying.

 Once dry I attached the semi circle in location to cover up the glue which would otherwise be visible on the completed card.

 The inside needed a little something extra so out with some skeleton leaves which I airbrushed with Promarkers the I rummaged through some of my flowers and found an almost perfect match.  The centre was wrong so I pulled this out and used the a gem, the same as I used of the flowers in the digi,    then added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to the centre.

 So here we have the completed card.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a happy crafting day :) :) :) Hugs Jane 

Kym's Weekly Post - Sunday 26/1/14

Sunday is here again and it is time for me to show you some Sweet Pea Stamps creations.

It is "Artist of the Week" over at Sweet Pea Stamps.  This is where one of the artists is chosen and the Design Team get an image they want from this artist to create a card/other creation.  The "Artist of the Week" is Charmaine Flannery.

For my card I have decided to use the imaged called "Alice" by Charmaine Flannery.  It is available as a digital stamp.  I thought she had a sorrowful look on her face so I though she'd be suitable for a "thinking of you" card.  I have coloured my image in with Graph'it pens.  The backing papers are from my Perfect Companions Essential CD.  I have mounted the image on a Marianne Designs die-cut shape.  The card has been finished off with a stamped sentiment, flowers punched out of scraps leftover from the card, raffia ribbon and pearls.

If you have time, pop on over to the Sweet Pea Stamps Blog this week to see all the other creations made with Charmaine Flannery's images.
*************************************

Here is a card I have made using a Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "The Dragonfly".  It is available as a digital stamp and a rubber stamp.  I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens.  The backing papers I was given.  The brown and blue paper has gorgeous flocking on it. 

I have finished the card off with a Prima flower, Joanna Sheen die-cut dragonflys, gems, lace and a Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment.

Inspiration With Nataliya. Project #3 of 4.

 Hello. I'm back with Project #3 of 4 as a DT member at Sweet Pea Stamps. You can see my Project #1 HERE, and Project #2 HERE.
Collection continue with Ching  Chou Kuik "The Dragonfly". You can have this image as a Rubber stamp, or Digital image HERE.
Image i colored with Distress Ink, by adding lot's of sparkles to it.

 For the Sentiment "Love" i used clear stamp and die cut Tag by inking edges.

 To continue with my "Love" theme i added Gem Heart.

 For the Dragonfly i used punch. I punched two Dragonflies, and used purple and green glitter on one, and micro beads on the other one. Then i used hot glue gun to put them together.

 also some colorful gems on the top. For the swirl Die cut i used micro beads and glitter too, but inked first.

 Some of my hand made flowers and double bow.

She is gorgeous and i know you like to perches her. So hurry shopping!!!!

Thank you all for looking, and see you soon with my last project #4.

Connie-Beautiful View

Today I am sharing with you a card I made from 

ching-chou kuik's

"The Dragonfly"

This is an exceptionally beautiful

set with a gorgeous image and a lovely verse.

I chose to use only the verse

and paired it with an embossing folder by Sizzix

and a floral die by Magnolia.

I colored the embossing lightly

with Copic markers.

Rounding the corners and adhering

onto green and white cardstock

was all this CAS card needed.

You can find this lovely

mini-plate by clicking

Thanks for stopping by!

Going Round and Round...

Today I have three cards to share that feature gorgeous round images from the ching chou kuik collection.

This card was created with the image titled The Dragonfly, it was colored with copics, the papers are Prima.

 This image is titled The Koi, the papers are Basic Grey and 7gypsies, the image was also colored with copics. I masked the image, sprayed it with the Goosebumps texture and sprinkled some glitter into it. It turned out really neat in person, I would definitely recommend goosebumps, it gives a great watery appearance for your mermaid images.

 My last card uses the image titled The Moth. The papers are Basic Grey, I used a bit of Tim Holtz tissue tape, button shaped things - these are not brads, they have several little prongs on the back that you bend over to attach, sorry not sure if it is a blonde moment or a grey one, they all seem to be the same, ;-). it is finished off with a lot of prima flowers.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today! ttfn

This lovely image by ching-chou kuik comes

in a circular shape that fits it perfectly.

It is titled "The Dragonfly" and you will find it

HERE

There are some nice verses with it as well.

I colored it with Copic markers and added some

pearls by Kaiser and some sheer black ribbon.

I layered this onto a background done with Luna Lights paints

on black glossy cardstock.

I hope the background doesn't take away from the beauty of this stamp.

The Seahorse and The Dragonfly

Hello! I have two cards to show you today, both using gorgeous images from ching-chou kuik. For the first one, called The Seahorse I colored the image and the background with Copic markers, and then I went over the background with Twinkling H2O watercolors. I finished the card off with a little sparkle from a Sakura Clear Stardust gel pen, some pearls and a little stitching.

On the second one, called The Dragonfly, I again used my Copics to color the image. I left the background white and then painted it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in Chandelier. It is hard to see in the photo, but in real life it has a beautiful sparkle that is subtler than my usual Stardust Stickles. To complete the card I "framed" the image with a Spellbinders die cut and added some gems around the scalloped circle.
