MHK Designs - Designer Inspiration September

Hello friends!
(Please note I have 2 posts today! This is my second)


It's time for another Designer Inspiration for MHKDesigns!

This month I chose to work with Pansy Corner and Eat Your Cake (sentiment).

After printing my image, I used Nuance  Watercolor Powders to Watercolor the image. Once dry, I fussy cut it out and then covered with Versamark Ink. I sprinkled on Clear Embossing powder and heat set.



I printed the sentiment off on Vellum paper and cut out.  I attached it with a clear liquid glue.



I hope you enjoy this card and I can't wait to see you next time!


Stick It Down - Double Page Layout - September


Hello friends!

(Please note - this is my first post of the day - I have a second one posting later!) 

Surprise!  

I jumped in and joined the Stick it Down - Double Page Layout Team for September, October, November and December!  I'm excited to share with you this month's Sketch and what I created with it.  

Here is the sketch:


Here is what I created:








I grabbed a retired paper pack & matching accessories called "Typeset" by Close to My Heart.  I love how quickly and easily it came together.  Sometimes not overthinking a layout is the best way to create!  I always create my layouts without pictures (weird, I know!) and then when I find the perfect photos to add it, I add them later.

I hope you enjoy my take on the sketch and will join us in the fun.  

Until next time,

SparkleNSprinkle - Puppy Girl #2


Hello friends!



I have a quick card to share with you today featuring the Puppy Girl Stamp set from SparkleNSprinkle!

Supply List:


Let's go!

This is a super simple card to whip up for a friend.  I started by stamping the Puppy Girl image onto a piece of white cardstock using Versafine Ink.  I colored the image using my TwinTouch Markers. I added a bit of Denim Glitter to the leash using the Fine Nuvo Glue Pen.


I stamped the sentiment along the side of the panel using Versamark Ink, sprinkled on the Mesmerized Marbled Embossing Powder and heat set. (I love the marbled embossing powders!).

I adhered the panel to my patterned paper using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and then added a piece of tape across the bottom of the panel.  Once I peeled off the adhesive, I sprinkled on some Denim Glitter and burnished well with my finger tool.


I also added a piece of MonAmiGabby Mesh beneath the glitter, adhering with 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.  All the layers were attached with the Tear-ific Tape as well.  Then I finished the card with various sizes of dots with the Nuvo Crystal Drops!  I LOVE this product! I set the card aside to dry overnight and VOILA! :)


I hope you enjoy this card and can't wait to see you next time!
