MHK Designer April Inspiration

Hi Friends!

Today with MHKDesigns' DT inspiration using Stiched Sunflower digi stampset with Sunflower sampler papers. Must say, am addicted to this set of digi papers :)

This digi stampset is with such lovely sentiments with the sunflower image.

I love chevron pps and by now you would be aware of it too :)
Matted the sentiment using yellow and green chevron pps and matted this on to the brown chevron pp. Wanted the sentiment to be focal point this time.

Colored the sunflowers by Zig clean colorbrush pens and fussy cut it. I love heat embossing and so to make these flower as embellies, I heat embossed those flowers using UTEE clear Ep. At this stage, it just mimics the Sospeso flowers :) Watercolored and fussy cut few leaves and added these below the sentiment frame using foam adhesives and completed the card by matting it on to a white A2 cardbase.

Thank you for stopping by!

MHK April/May Challenge

Today at MHK designs, we have monthly challenge with photo/color inspiration to play along and to win some beautiful digi image and designer papers. MHK Designs Team is showcasing few digi sets from MHK Designs Etsy shop for the inspiration. Do hop into blog to get inspired and play along the challenge.

This month's inspiration:

My take on this:

Took A6 white cardbase and to it matted a black cs and Party Hardy -Digipaper in red. 

Digi image and sentiment  are from the stampset "Stencil in the roses"  

The image panel is matted with a black cs and mounted on the cardbase. 

The image is precolored. The leaves and main large rose is popped using 2 fussy cut layers using foam adhesives. The top layer of rose flower edges were distressed using aged mahogany DI and the leaves using Peeled paint DI. Distressed the top panel using tumbled glass DI.

Black satin ribbon added to the card and top on it the sentiment banner added. 
Used 2 black rhinestones as accents.

MHK New Release - Perfect Poppies

Hey Hi! 

Am excited to welcome you to the April 2016 MHK Designs release. We have some really fun sets to check over the next few days, as well as chances to win either one of the sets OR all of them!

Perfect poppies is the focus design for today:

My take on this design

Took A2 sized vanilla cardstock as base. The poppies are colored using Zig clean color brush pens. Fussy cut and heat embossed using UTEE clear to make it glossy and to use as embellishment.

I just took sentiment from same digi set and framed using Party hardy - Red Houndstooth digi paper (its a must have paper pad with various lovely collection). You are gonna see me using this paper often here after :) 

I love this sentiment a lot and culdn't resist myself and so was keeping it as my wallpaper/screensaver, Watsapp DP from the day i have done this card :)

Above pic shows the close up of the pretty flowers. Loved coloring it...Its so rich and vibrant as it looks here and the red color just pops the ivory base cs.

These flowers are added using foam adhesives at different heights to show some depth between the flowers.
