Majestic Medallions

Hello All,

Before I get to this months hop I wanted to say a fond farewell to MHKDesigns. Mynn, the owner, has decided to focus all her creative energy on teaching. Something had to give and unfortunately, MHKDesigns had to close its doors. She has posted the final farewell post on her blog. 

With that said, I would like to present 

A SURPRISE BLOG HOP for Mynn! 

Here is my card for today, enjoy!

I know Mynn will go far with her career and her blessings will spread out to the world as she teaches young minds. Speaking of teaching, it is because of her I learned how to manipulate digital images. She is the one who spawned the question in my head, 'How on earth did she do that?'. I dug my heels in and learned how she digitally creates. Still learning! However, here creations expanded my creative mind in ways that I thought to be impossible. Thank you Mynn for all your hard work and dedication to MHKDesigns.

Keep hopping for more! You can click here to get to Jess's blog!

All the best,

Birds on a Branch

Hello All,

MHKDesigns Challenge

The cracked concrete pattern was done digitally as was
the purple watercolor that divides the card so nicely. 

In contrast, the bird and branch image was colored using Fabar-Castell polychromo pencils. I am really enjoying this set of pencils because of their durability and quality of color.

That should do it for me! I invite you to join us at MHKDesigns and I hope this inspired you to have a go at this challenge with your MHKDesigns stamps. Like I said earlier if you don't have MHKDesigns product yet; no worries! You can still play along.The colors for this challenge are fabulous and were so much fun to create this card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Take care everyone and see you soon. Until then happy stamping.

All the best,

I think the background is truly what makes this card shine!
I added lots of digital color wash and a woodgrain 'embossed' texture. 

A simple small bow adorns this Easter card.

MHKDesigns March Challenge

Hello All,

Welcome to another challenge at MHKDesigns. As always, the theme is ATG and to use the inspiration photo. First, I would like to share my card with you today, enjoy!

I was intrigued by the green glass jars in the inspiration photo.
I wanted to mimic those jars in my design. So, I stamped and die-cut jars out of green vellum added some kraft paper and twine.

Be sure to not be stranger at MHKDesigns blog. The design team will have inspiration cards featuring this set throughout the month.

Above: My favorite area of the card would have to be the beige gingham and black borders. It really allows the MHKDesigns digi to shine. The gingham also reminds me of Spring and getting back outside after a long Winter. Left/Below: The green vellum is translucent allowing you to see through to the stems. Plus, the extra layer gives it a more realistic look. Right/Bottom: The Fabulous Flowers set seemed like the perfect digi set for this challenge. I wanted to keep things neutral'ish to stay in line with the inspiration photo.

That should do it for me! I invite you to join us at MHKDesigns and I hope this inspired you to have a go at this challenge with your MHKDesigns stamps. Like I said earlier if you don't have MHKDesigns product yet; no worries! You can still play along.The colors for this challenge are fabulous and were so much fun to create this card.

Rosey Roses

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to TheGrandStampede! Today I am going to show you some inspiration for your MHKDesigns digital stamps. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Some of you may know my style by now. I like to enlarge images and take pieces from it to create a card. This design is no exception. Enlarging the rose gives the image a whole new look.

The inspiration comes from our new release set:
Valentine Roses

______________________________

I do enjoy the white space with minimal distractions.
The sentiment banner and the single heart embellishment seems to be just enough to enhance the design.

 The watercolor effect is all digital.
I used the main stem of the rose as a literal divider then reversed the background on either side.
