Strength -- for Ching Chou Kuik

 It's Tuesday, and it's my day to post on the Ching Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge Blog. I love a chance to color up these Ching-Chou Kuik images!

Our theme for the January challenge is "New": new house, new job, new baby, new crafty supplies -- however you want to interpret it. 

I wanted to start the year off with a powerful word and image.  That word and image is Strength. It comes in 2 versions.  Both are Black & White.  One has more roots and vines, and that's the one I colored:

I colored Strength with Copic markers, then used a new Z fold die set from The Stamps of Life to create the card base.  The papers are from Crafter's Companion.  The sequins are from my stash, but I used a new Crystal Katana to attach them with.  It improves my blinging skills!

I hope you visit the Ching Chou Kuik blog often to see what the other talented designers create, and there's also the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook Group.

Dance With All Your Heart -- For Cute Card Thursday

 Cute Card Thursday has an Anything Goes Challenge going on -- always a favorite! Our sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps (one of my favorites). When I saw this darling Bashful Ballerina, I just knew I had to color her up!

I colored the Bashful Ballerina with Copic markers, then used a set of dies from the Stamps of Life to make the card.  The papers on the card are by We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are the Muddy Paws papers. The sentiment was computer generated.

The anything goes challenge at Cute Card Thursday will go all week!  I hope to see you linked up!
