Ria Presents Butterfly Blue by Ching Chou Kuik

I think this is one of my favourite stamps from Ching Chou Kuik and it is called Butterfly Blue...

So first is my early morning colouring that I did with this stamp, She is coloured with Alcohol markers and the pearls in her hair are done with a pearl pen by Viva Decor...

I used an old paperpack by Wild Rose Studio, with a Japanese theme. So that was a perfect fit.

Ching Chou Kuik's Butterfly Blue...

I hope you enjoyed my inspiration...

Ali's Inspiration

For my creation this week I am once again playing with a gorgeous Ching-Chou Kuik image. I just love her artwork... it was seeing one of her stamps used on a card somewhere in blogland that lead me to find Sweet Pea Stamps and to fall in love with their awesome range of gorgeous stamps! :)

This one is called Butterfly Blue and despite being tempted at first to colour her in bright colours, I eventually opted to colour her with more muted wintery colours... in fact, I dug out my limited edition Winter set of Promarkers for this one:

The papers are (yet again) ones that came free with a craft magazine and I cut some delicate embellishments on my Cameo... I also liked the idea of the embellishments overhanging the edge of the card so I trimmed down the front section of the card and added more of the paper on the exposed back section of the card:

I once again used a Flexmarker pen for a pale colour wash in the background of the image:

And I also accented her jewellery and the beading in her hair, using Stickles and Perlen Pens.

Just sharing!!

I hope everyone is ready for Christmas, as for me I am not.  So I will be doing some last minute shopping this week.  I don't know about you but this year has been extremely busy and has went by so fast.

So now on to may cards I have to share with you.  This first one I used  Joanne Schempp's "Shhh Mommies Here". Isn't this image so sweet. You can buy her as a single or on Sheet #10, Plate #178.  I made her into a winter card that can also be used as a Christmas card.  I used some B0 Bunny Papers.  I love these design papers. 

For my 2nd one I used Anna Marine's "Veil", Sheet #5, Plate #196.

Here are the cards I made for out last 2 blog Hops.  This first one is the card I made for Lynette.  I love this image and how she turned out.  Such a beautiful image. I used Karen Middleton's "Cornflower Blue", on sheet #18, Plate #194.

And for this one I used ching chou kuik's "Butterfly Blue".  I colored her nothing like the her original painting. I wanted to make her look soft and Wintery.  I also made a round card, and I really like the way it turned out with all the Webster Pages embellishments. You can also find her on Sheet #40, Plate #195.

Thanks for stopping and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Hugs:)
