Here's today's release coming from MHK Designs this month and I had so much fun making this card! Of course, it didn't hurt that I did it entirely in purples, my favorite color. :-D The set is called "I've Been Framed" and you can see a photo of the entire set at the bottom of this post.
My process for getting this image printed was a bit different than my usual "select and print." First, I chose a dp from the MHK Designs "French Country" set (photo also at the bottom of this post) and printed it the size I wanted. There are some gorgeous papers in that set and I chose the "Fern" in lavender.
After printing the paper, I put it back into my printer and then printed the flower frame right onto the dp, adjusting the placement and size to fit the pre-printed dp sheet. I used ProMarkers to color most of the flowers on the frame, choosing to leave a few uncolored so that they are white.
I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to dry emboss the purple CS onto which I centered the image piece. I also die cut a small scalloped oval piece (Spellbinders) and embossed it with the same folder. Next, I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and mounted it onto the embossed oval, then put that in the middle of the frame.
Finally, I added the roses and the ribbons, and tied a triple-loop bow.
