In The Wind

I had this lovely image In The Wind by ching-chou kuik in my stack of images that had been stamped but not colored. When I was looking through them, it jumped out at me and I couldn't believe I hadn't done anything with it yet. It is just so pretty and yet simple in its beauty.  The dreamy look on her face is fabulous.

I absolutely had to add Stickles, and a lot of them to this card as well.  She need to shimmer and shine as much as possible.

I know exactly where her new home is going to be.  Who do you know that needs a card sent to them today?  Wouldn't this stunning image make the perfect one to send?  The image is even on sale right now!

Fairies Little Companion

I love fairies and I love dragons, how could this image from ching chou kuiks Fantasy Art Collection at Sweet Pea Stamps not be one of my favorites?

This image is titled Fairies Little Companion and is part of Plate #70.  This plate has 4 great soft and innocent images on it.  Great ones for cards for little girls that love fairies, sparkles and to dream.  The background paper if from Basic Grey and the sparkles on the fairy and the dragon are done with Stickles.

Get Inky!

A Pair by ching chou kuik

Today I would like to share two cards with you, both images come from the ching-chou kuik collection.

This first card features the image titled Peony, I just love the little bird in her hand, so sweet. She was colored with copics, prima flowers and papers, and a sticker sentiment.

My second card features In the Wind, doesn't she look dreamy? Also colored with copics, the papers are prima and the flowers are Hero Arts.

 

I hope you have enjoyed your stop today, I love to see your comments. Have a great week!

Being still

There are times when I find I have to just STOP and be still for a moment.  Things are so busy that I sometimes forget to see what is around me and enjoy it.  Peachy Pink Fairy by ching chou kuik reminds me of that.  To be still and enjoy.

She looks just so relaxed and peaceful.  Maybe even a daydream or two is happening.  Or perhaps she is watching some ladybugs playing or a hummingbird feeding on a flower across the way.

Like any good fairy though, she does have beautiful shimmery wings of her own and is a stunning beauty.

What do you think she is doing?

Get Inky!

A Couple of Pretty Fairies

Hi! I have made some cards today with images from ching chou kuik's Sheet 25, Plate 70 from Sweet Pea Stamps. Her artwork is so much fun to color!

This first card uses the image Fairies Little Companion. This was an image I could not wait to get - I fell in love with books like The Dragonlance Chronicles and The Dragonriders of Pern series when I married my husband (he introduced me to the Fantasy book genre!) and this makes me think of those times!

The Details:
Stamp: Fairies Little Companion - ching chou kuik (Plate 70) from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: My Minds Eye, Simply Chartreuse (Papertrey Ink), Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky (Stampin Up), white for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Copics:
Skin: E000,E00,E11,E13,R00,R20
Hair and Dragon: YG00,YG03 (both w/RV10 over) YG95,YG97
Clothes and Wings: BG10,BG11,BG72,BG75,BG78
Misc: Cricut (Cartridge Cindy Loo), Spellbinders Nestabilities, Darice Gems, Stardust Stickles

For the second card I used the image Peachy Pink Fairy. This has nothing to do with how I colored her or made the card, but don't you think in the drawing she looks like Christina Applegate? I kept thinking that as I colored her!! The frame is cut out using my Cricut on Grungeboard. That was my first time using Grungeboard and it felt like thick leather to me. I liked it! I painted it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam afterward so it is sparkly black.


The Details:
Stamp:Peachy Pink Fairy - ching chou kuik (Plate 70) from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Fancy Pants Designs, Black (Papertrey Ink),, white for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:

The Moth

Here's a lovely image from ching-chou kiuk called "The Moth". You can see this image on the website by clicking here. I love these beautiful large size round stamp sets and have several great Spellbinders die cut sets that are large enough to create a background for them.After coloring the image with a large assortment of Copic markers, I used some beautiful webbed ribbon from the floral department as a great textured background for this card. I chose a great saying from Plate #70 and a couple of Prima flowers in orange.

Hoping your Wildest Dreams come true this year!

Cheers, Holley

Fairie's Little Companion

A fairy AND a dragon in one image?  Impossible to go wrong with this one!!!  It is drawn by ching chou kuik and called Fairie's Little Companion.  I fell in love with it immediately and now I have colored and created with it I love it even more.

After coloring I added plenty of stickles for the scales on the dragon and wings on the fairy and jewel in her headband and on her dress.  That perfect for this card gold ribbon was tied to something at Christmas and I knew it shouldn't be thrown away.

Get Inky!
