Hello Everyone,

These last couple of days we concentrated on the new April release stamp sets and digital paper. I hope we inspired you to check out MHKDesign's Etsy Store to see more of what they offer. If not, well.. It is never too late. So now we embark on another monthly challenge! Again we will give you a prompt and you can take it anyway you'd like. Here is my inspiration card, enjoy. 

Lots of colors and look at those mums!! So pretty.

New challenge at MHKDesigns
April/May.

___________________________________________________

I added a bit of distress on the edges for a dreamy quality.

The card was laid out using photo editing software then printed out.
From there I began to color/blend using my colored pencils.
Hint: Get good, quality, colored pencils. It makes all the difference in the world.

The above two pictures are details of the card
using MHKDesign digi's.

I know we have all said it.. These stamps are enormously versatile and this card proves my point. This card uses three MHKDesigns stamp sets. All the sets work together and are so easy to work with on any photo editing software. 

And of course there are prizes for this challenge!

Poppies Please

Hello! and welcome back to the final day of MHKDesigns April stamp set and digital paper release! Here I am featuring the stamp set Perfect Poppies. This is my favorite set from the release. The image of poppies is obviously so pretty but the sentiments their set fonts is what won me over. Again, very versatile and beautiful. Here is my card for tonight, enjoy!

Look at this gorgeous image! These poppies are so beautiful.
Printed out the image on kraft paper. White washed the flowers with
white ink and water. After it was dry I colored the image with colored pencils.

The black border was done by simply drawing around the border with a
bold tip marker.

Detail showing the poppy image. Bright and vivid!

Flutter-By Butterfly

Hello Everyone,

For today I am writing on behalf of Make My Monday to let y'all know we have a new challenge this week! Before I reveal the challenge here is my inspiration card for today.

Our challenge this week is all about:

This card was so unbelievably easy to make! The butterflies were stamped using a large stamp with all the butterflies laid out. All I had to do was to use a Kaleidacolor Ink pad and stamp. 

Then I simply punched out the clouds and die cut the solid color butterflies. I added my sentiment and mounted it on a card base. So easy and very effective.

Challenges Entering:

The Paper Players: PP291- Butterflies

Creative with Stamps: Challenge #1- Butterflies

   

Thank you for joining me once again.. I encourage you to join us at Make My Monday for this week's 'butterflies' challenge. See you there and am looking forward to see how you interpret our butterfly theme. Until then take care.

All the best,

Shawna 

Fruit Borders

Hello! and welcome back to day two of MHKDesigns April stamp set and digital paper release! Here I am featuring the stamp set Fruit Borders with beautiful images and fantastic sentiments. Here is my card for tonight, enjoy!

The gate-fold card really showcasing the fruit border

April Release
Day Two:
Fruit Borders

 Distressed panel was created by sponging way too much yellow ink on the card and covering it up with acrylic paint. I think it looks great in contrast with the crisp hounds-tooth digital paper.

Opening up the gate-fold you are greeted with a
delightful sentiment from the same set.

Oh, the Birthdays You'll Have

Hello Everyone!

I am writing on behalf of MHKDesigns to announce the new April release stamp sets and digital papers are being revealed! For the next five days we will have an inspiration card from each set. Here is my inspiration card for today! Enjoy!

Eat Your Cake stamp set
is full of fun sentiments that go well with the cake image.

April Release
Day one:
Eat Your Cake

Side views of the card showing a glimpse of what is inside.

Showing the inside of the card with a sentiment from Eat Your Cake stamp set.
The feel of this card was inspired by Dr. Seuss children's book 'Oh, the Places You Go'. 

A close up view of the cake, embossed background, and the acrylic
panel at the bottom of the card.

This image reminds me of a children book named 'Oh, the Places You Go!' by Dr. Seuss. I must have read this a thousand times, no exaggeration! I memorized the book so well I would have to recite it in the car while driving. The cake reminds me so much of what Dr. Seuss would draw.  It is what inspired me to color this card by using the palette from 'Oh, the Places You Go!'.
