Hi Friends!!

This is my last DT inspiration at MHKDesigns. I had a great year working with the Awesome digisets and Wonderful DT team. Thanks much for this opportunity, Mynn. I learnt a lot from my fellow DTs and this team.

I was asked to share my fave project. As i couldn’t pull out just one project out of all my MHKD DT inspirations, i made a collage using my fave digisets.

I absolutely enjoyed working with these Digi sets.

Each card here is SO close to my heart.

Open Bloom, Butterfly Wisdom, Butterfly Elements, Blossoming are my favorites among the digisets of this year.

If you wish to know how each card is made, click on my name in the label section, to know more about the card.

Thanks much for all your likes, comments, and Support on FB, blog and Instagram.

Thanks SO much for stopping by!

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.
