Shine Bright! An MHKDesigns New Release!

It's New Release month at MHKDesigns!  It seems like these months roll around so fast, but I get so excited for the new releases!  Today is the first of 5 days that all of the designers are participating in the New Release.  You'll find all 5 New Releases ready for you in the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop.

Today, we're featuring Celestial Elements.  If you start at the MHKDesigns blog, then visit and comment on each designer's blog, you might win this set (or all the new releases!!!)

Here's one of the elements of Celestial Elements, inked with Tim Holtz distress inks, fussy cut, and placed in a panel cut out with a die:

The sentiment, floating in a cloud, is also part of the Celestial Elements digital stamp set.  It was cut out with a die also.  The sequins on the card are from Close To My Heart.  The dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, purchased at Ellen Hutson.

Wishing You Sunshine -- and a prize winner

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.  It was cool, cloudy, and off and on rainy here.  I worked yesterday, so the holiday was short, but it was still enjoyable.

I have a tutorial today on All That Stickles, showing how to make your own glitter domes.  To showcase the technique, I made this card:

 

 

She seemed like the perfect image for a cool, rainy weekend! I used Kaisercraft Fine & Sunny 6 1/2 inch papers, Sparkle Creations Rainy Day Ruby stamp, Copic Markers, Cryogen paper, Spellbinders dies, Turquoise Stickles (so I can enter this in the current All That Stickles Linky party), and a free sample of ribbon from Ellen Hutson.  The "wishing your sunshine" sentiment is from Joy's Life Pun in the Sun stamp set -- lots of great sentiments on this one!!

 

I promised you a prize winner.  If you commented on my blog during the Joy's Life Super and Everyday Hero hop this weekend and follow my blog, you are eligible.  I used random.org to pick the winner.  Comment #4 was chosen:  Crafty_ma_am.  Congratulations, Crafty_ma_am!  Please let me know where to send your goodies.  You can leave an email address with a comment here and I'll be in touch.

 

I also want to let my followers know about some challenges that I am a part in.  I know some of you love challenges and I'm helping with some new, fun ones.  There's the All That Stickles linky party that I mentioned earlier in this post.  The current Stickles color is Turquoise.  If you can spell it, you can use it, LOL! Do you like digital stamps? Get Inky! Stamps Challenge blog has a new challenge every two weeks.  The current theme is glitter.  Embrace it, enter, and you might win digis of your choice.  Do you have a Silhouette?  There's a new challenge blog on the block.  Take a look at Silhouette Challenges.  The current challenge is "Anything Goes", but you have to be quick, because it ends May 31.  A new challenge starts June 1.  And, speaking of June 1, a brand new challenge blog launches on June 1!
