~ Sathya ~ 9 Comments
Hi Crafty Friends!

Am here today with MHK Monthly inspiration.

This time, played with one of my fave digiset, “Blossoming “

  • Printed the digi images in the drawing sheet and colored it with Faber castell bicolor pencils.
  • Fussy cut them and added with few MFT florish diecuts, which are colored using Zig clean color brush pens.
  • Wish to keep the sentiment as Focal element and so, diecut it with Spellbinder frame die and added the fussy cut florals around it.
  • These are mounted on to the base A2 white cardstock using foam adhesives.

Hope you like this simple card.
