Now that the new year is here I have an announcement! I am now part of the MHK Design team! Mynn, the owner, has put together some amazing stamp sets using vintage images and modern sentiments. I am so excited to spending 2016 with this remarkable company and design team. With that said I introducing my first MHK Designs card and of course entering a challenge that inspired the design. Here is my card, enjoy.
 |
| The wildflowers in the background and colored flowers in the foreground help create a serene scene. I thought this image was too delicate to use my Coastal Cabana markers so instead I used my PrismaColor pencils. |
 |
| Lots of white space surround the flowers. The flowers are from MHK Designs digital stamp collection. I thought the color scheme would be a perfect fit for this type of card. |
 |
| Gold gilding creates a sense of elegance and care; conveying a feel though color and design. |
 |
| Detail featuring the flowers. Once the background flowers were in my photo editing software I washed them out and the colored image had more contrast to pop it to the foreground. |
Entering Challenges:
The gold gilding came from a new toy I received for Christmas; the machine is called the Anna Griffin Minc and wow do I love it! Foil is applied seamlessly using the pre-cut dies that come with the machine. This will become a staple product for my craft area and needless to say you will see more projects with foil! Well I will get off my soapbox!
Thank you for joining me today and I do hope you will join me soon at TheGrandStampede!! Take care all and see you soon!
All the best,
Shawna

Congrats on your DT spot - Mynn is lucky to have you! You are such an outstanding card maker and this card again proves it! Just fabulous!
I love the contrast between the washed out flowers and the one still with a degree of vibrancy. It really helps to create the elegaic mood that's so suitable for a sympathy card. Lovely!
