MHKDesigns: And Many More

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the April 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous *NEW* sets to share this month--and they cover a variety of occasions!  I just know you will LOVE all the creations that my team and I have to share, as well!  Today's set is called...

And Many More

And here is my card~

I used colored pencils to color the sweet image from the And Many More set. I used bright colors to keep this card more masculine! Some washi tape, baker's twine, and a fun button divide the image from the sentiment.

The card base was made using digital paper from the Stars and Strips digital paper pack. I LOVE the fun stripes! What do you think?  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

MHKDesigns: April Challenge

Hello, everyone!  Happy April! It's time for a new photo inspiration challenge to match at MHKDesigns! This month's inspiration is also a way for me to share a bit of a SNEAK PEEK at one of our *NEW* sets being released soon!  Take a peek at the challenge...

I was inspired by the colors and birdcage in the photo. I chose to practice doing some digital design with Photoshop on my card, and I hope you like what I came up with! Check out my creation...

The image and sentiment on this card are from the *NEW* Birdcage Silhouettes set. I layered them on top of a digital panel that was created using different bold colors and textured digital brushes. Some enamel hearts and wash tape were added for more of a finished look.

I also added a border of faux stitching to the card panel. I love the way the black "stitching" looks against the bold colors! What do you think? I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you hop over to join in our monthly challenge at MHKDesigns!  There are prizes for each one, and you can use any products you'd like! :) Don't forget to leave some love with the other gals on this wonderful DT, too!

House of Cards: Feather Images and/or Color Inspiration

Hello, everyone! It's time for another challenge at House of Cards, and this month we have a fabulous inspiration challenge for you! You can choose to follow the colors OR use feather images OR do both! It's up to you!  Take a peek at the inspiration...

I was inspired by both the colors and images, and I started with just one card...but it morphed into a bold and fresh card set! ;)  I used Photoshop to create my panel (these are all one layer cards), and then used hue settings to change the colors quickly and easily. Here's the entire set...

After I printed the cards, I rounded the corners at the bottom to add a bit of finish. Seam binding ribbon in coordinating tones was added to the tops of the cards and sequins, liquid pearls, and rhinestones were added to enhance the sentiment at the bottom of the card. This set uses images from the Fanciful Feathers digital stamp set and a sentiment from the Beauty digital stamp set from MHKDesigns.

I LOVE the monochrome that was created on each card with printing, ribbon, and embellishments! These turned out so prettily, and I hope you like them! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take a bit of time to come and play along with us at House of Cards.  Don't forget to stop by the other DT members' blogs for even MORE amazing inspiration--they always blow me away!  I'll be back later this month with more crafty posts!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
