Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well. I know the United States is having really weird weather; with a snowstorm, freezing rain in Wisconsin and Tornado's in Arkansas. We are having temps ranging from low's in 40's to highs in 90's in Southern CA. So strange. Please stay safe.
I finally had time to color this new stunning image created by Ching-Chou Kuik "Peony Dawn". Isn't she beautiful? This is only my second CCK Grayscale image; and it is fun to try something new. It is also nerve wracking at times when you step out of your comfort zone; which I did big time with this one. I just had to go with whatever happened as I chose the colors.
I have three favorite colors that are at the top of my list and they are Purple/lavenders; Yellows and pinks of all shades. After that would have to be blue greens/teals and then peach colors. I hope you enjoy my creation and it gives you some inspiration to try something out of your comfort zone. I wanted a Magical and Ethereal feel to my card; and I think I have achieved that.
Be sure to look at the inside of the card; since the outside doesn't show you much of the patterned paper; which is also inside. It has a lot of interesting colors; which I tried to select as my color choices. (Which included my favorites)
I would love for you to join my group. A place to
share ideas, creations and more.

Greetings Karin DT Coördinator
What a beautiful card you have made here which fits perfectly the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog Monthly Challenge this month of “Your favourite colour”. I used to like the colours pink/red when I was a child growing up but have progressed to loving anything purple but it's lovely to see the difference in everyone's favourite colour.
ReplyDeleteIn a challenge it is nice to come out of your comfort zone and for you and for me it using these grayscale images. You have done amazingly well with this one.
It is FANTASTIC that you have entered this challenge and you have used a Ching-Chou Kuik digital stamp.
Thank you for entering, best wishes in the draw and for your support of this challenge. Kym (Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Design Team Leader).
A beautiful card. Lots of lovely detail.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by at 613 Avenue Create.

Such an elegant creation. Thank you for joining our previous Challenge and would like to invite you back to our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. I would like to leave you with one of the greatest verses in the Scripture from Romans 5:8 which says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Have a wonderful day!
