Birds & Branches

Hello Readers!

I am so happy to announce that MHKDesigns is releasing a new line of digi stamps. The Design Team will be showcasing a new set each day until February 20. To start, we are focusing on a spectacular set named 'Birds and Branches'. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Enlarging the branch image makes for a wonderful
and easy background.
All new eclectic stamps and sentiments
now available at MHKDesigns Etsy Store
I first printed out the bird, then die cut it to be a
scallop. Leaving the die cut in place, I lightly sponged blue
around the image to create a visual frame. 
I used die cut branches and flourishes to highlight the
bird on a branch image.
This card's subtle colors make for a good 'thinking of you' card. I used a bit of tradition using the scalloped circle but then added some modern touches such as the flourish and sentiment. This card has the best of both worlds.

These high quality images make creating a card a breeze. No pixels to worry about just a clean quality image. MHKDesigns is pro at mixing vintage with modern sentiments. 

Thank you so much for joining me today for Day 1 of MHKDesigns new release sets. I encourage you to check her store and see what all the hype is about. I promise, you will not be sorry! Take care all and until next time.

All the Best,

Project Supplies:
