And here is my card~

This has to be one of my favorite sets that I've made to date! I added the sentiment to the inside of the frame image before printing it off. I colored the frame with a Wink of Stella gold pen and Sakura gel pens. The birds were simply printed and fussy cut before being added. 



I chose to back my focal panel on a doily, then place it on top of some polka dot paper from the Rosy Posy paper pack. I love the soft colors and vintage feel of this card! What do you think?! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

MHKDesigns: June Photo Inspiration Challenge


Happy June, friends! It's time for another monthly challenge to begin at MHKDesigns, and this month we have a seashore summer themed inspiration for you! Of course, if you use products from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, it's ANYTHING GOES! But we love seeing everything you make, so link up with us! Here's this month's inspiration...


I was inspired by the sea theme and colors of the photo. I decided to use the Sea Creatures digital stamp set from the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop to create a fun birthday card! Take a peek...


I created my panel in Photoshop using various brushes and the Sea Creatures digital stamp set. I used various shades of blue that fade into white to give depth and made the fish images white. I love the contrast! I kept the sentiment black so that it would stand out and draw the eye to it.


Some faux stitching, twine, and a button finished off my card. I really love the masculine feel, but it could be for anyone who loves the ocean! What do you think? I would love 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!

Asha | Asmah Dawn | Jessica | Judy | Julie
Monica Rocky | Shawna | Tasha

I'll be back soon with more creations for the
upcoming release using *NEW* MHKDesigns products!

Until then, HUGS and happy {digital} stamping, friends! :)

House of Cards: Summer Blog Hop


Hi, all! Happy June! I hope your summer is off to a fun and fabulous start! It's time to celebrate the end of the first term at House of Cards and we have a super fun challenge for you! You should have arrived here from the HOC blog, but if not, make sure to stop by there for a full list of the hoppers! Remember, this hop only lasts until the 15th, so don't wait! Come join us today using this fabulous inspiration...


Isn't that the epitome of summer? I LOVE the beach and all the inspiration that it brings! I was inspired by the blue, white, and kraft colors plus the beach feel this photo has. Take a peek at my completed card...


I used Photoshop to create my focal panel using digital stamps from the Sea Creatures set by MHKDesigns and some brushes. I added a few white enamel dots to mimic more "clouds" and give a bit more dimension, aside from the sentiment.


The edges of the panel were distressed and I also added faux stitching for even more texture. I love the way this turned out! It's perfect for a guy's birthday or for anyone who loves the beach! What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Your next step on the hop is Judy's blog!  Make sure to stop by all the other gals' blogs to see what they have in store--they ALWAYS amaze me!  Have fun!  Happy hopping, all! :)
