Hi Friends!!

Its my turn today to post Monthly Inspirations at MHKDesigns.

I made this card using Sunflower sampler digi set. I just colored the printed digis with Faber castell bicolor pencils , fussy and mounted on a Beautifully brocade digi paper, which was matted on a ivory A2 cardbase.

Butterfly image from Butterfly wisdom is colored and fussy cut, mounted near the flower. Sentiment is matted with Sunflower sampler digi paper and tucked under satin ribbons.

This finishes off the card. Hope you like it!

Digi on focus today: I’ve been framed



My take on this digi 🙂

Somehow this plain image given me several ideas to work with. Shall work on it in forthcoming inspirations.

Wanna make a sunset scene. Loads of distress inks – Scattered straw, Wildhoney, Rusty hinge by masking the base layer with a circle mask for sun and went ahead by darker tones by building colors one by one.



The ground was made by distressing with Toffee crunch and Rich cocoa Momento inks. Revealed sun by removing masks and draw few birds amidst of those branches to mimic the distant flying birds.

Thus the focal panel s made ready and matted on a black cs for little more focus to the panel and mounted on to light yellow A2 cardbase.



Sentiment is fussy cut in portions and distressed slightly with scattered straw and toffee crunch and mounted using foam tapes on the centre portion of the focal scene. 

Lot of series of distressing made this super simple card. Hope you like it!
