MHKDesigner Inspiration: Shawna

Hello All,

Summer is in full swing! So there is no better time than July to start thinking about Christmas. So here is my 'festive' card for today, enjoy!!

It is hard to believe that this card is using only one set. It is full of detail, charm, and the colors of Christmas.  The MHKDesigns Country Farm digi paper acts as a wash to the overlay crackled backdrop finish.

This card is all wrapped in a pretty little bow!
I thought it was a nice touch for a whimsical card.
Another whimsical touch is the garland and gems draped on the card.
It adds a bit of sparkle and shine without being overbearing.
Perfect for Christmas.

The sentiment is colored with gray and silver colored pencil.
I like to use gray first because it allows the silver to shine more vibrantly.

MHKDesigner Inspiration- Shawna Standish

Hello Everyone,

It has been awhile since my last post. Things have been busy and as most of you know, the magic of the Holidays had to happen somehow... But I'm back, and today I have an inspiration card using your MHKDesigns digital stamps and papers. Here is my card for today, enjoy.

Winter seems to be a gray and dank season.
However, I believe during this time is when color has the opportunity to pop!
This is what I tried to illistrate with this card.___________________________________________________

I printed out two copies of the poinsettia. I colored one poinsettia, cut it out, then placed it on the base poinsettia. That is how its leaves are matching gray.

Left/Below: Pops of red seem to pop off the page. Leading your eye all around the card.
Right/Bottom: Of winter does have some sparkle. I choose to depict it by punching out glittery some snowflakes.

I encourage you to stop by the MHKDesigns blog to see more inventive ideas from our design team, and then play along with our monthly challenge, or just enjoy a bit of eye candy.
