MHKDesigns: January Challenge + Framed Favorites Release!

Hello and Happy New Year, everyone! I hope your year is prosperous and full of success and peace! I'm here today to share a card for this month's challenge at MHKDesigns. I've revamped how my Etsy shop will be running this year, so our challenge posts will ALSO include a monthly release set! This month's set is called...

Framed Favorites!

And here is our challenge inspiration:

I decided to go shabby chic with my creation. I did a lot of layering and had tons of fun making this card! Take a peek...

I used Photoshop to create my panel before printing it out multiple times. The wreath and sentiment are from the Framed Favorites digital stamp set, the feathers are from the Fanciful Feathers digital stamp set, and the flowers are from the Get Well Flowers digital stamp set.

I added some cheesecloth, twine, jewels, and pins to add more texture to the focal panel. The sentiment was die cut and matted with dark brown. The panel was matted with the same color. I love the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too! I can't wait to hear your comments below!

I'm entering my card into these fabulous challenges~

MHKDesigns: Lovely Ladies

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the February 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous sets to share this month, along with one paper pack.  I just know you will LOVE all the creations that my team and I have to share, as well!  Today's set is called...

Lovely Ladies

And here is my card~

I watercolored this gorgeous gal, then added some gold accents with a Wink of Stella pen.  Isn't she simply stunning?!  I love the look of these vintage beauties!

The sentiment is embellished with liquid pearls, and some sequins, faux stitching, and cheesecloth add more texture to the card base.  The papers come from the Trick or Treat pack and the French Country pack.

I was very happy with how this card turned out, and I hope you think it's great, too!  I would love for you to leave your thoughts below!  I appreciate all the feedback you leave me! :)

MHKDesigns: Chicken In

Hello, friends!  It is time for another release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, and I have some super fun sets and papers coming your way!  There are a few "anytime" sets, and we're also looking ahead to a few winter holidays this month!  I hope you grab them for your stash!  Today we are featuring the *NEW*...

Chicken In set!  

This set makes me happy...it's vintage AND punny! ;)  I decided to pair this set with the Country Farm papers.  Take a peek...

I kept the focal image (from the *NEW* Chicken In digital stamp set) simple--I printed it out onto white cardstock and then added a bit of color with glitter gel pen.  I love the shine it adds to this fun vintage farm image!

The sentiment, also from the *NEW* Chicken In digital stamp set, is framed by a couple paper flower, a button, and some red seam binding ribbon.  I decided to pair a fun vintage print font with a textured calligraphy/cursive font and I love the way these sentiments all turned out!  Oh, and PUNS! ;)

I used the brown chicken wire paper from the Country Farms paper pack as my card base with some dark brown card as my matting color.  A bit of the turquoise stone wash paper from the Country Farms pack adds just a bit more color.  Cheesecloth gives the card some extra texture.  I really love the way this card turned out, and I hope you do, too!  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
