Hello! My name is Shawne, I am an Illustrator. I love art in many forms. There is always something new to learn and experiment with. Card making is perfect with many different mediums and that is how I got hooked! I just recently moved my image line, Studio 313 by Shawne to McMahon Five Designs and am really excited to be working with my friend Sue McMahon. I also have a line of stamps at Clear Dollar stamps, although I am no longer there. You can find out more about my past work and some more recent at my blog Paper Art From Studio 313.

Here is my take on the Sketch.....as you can tell I flipped the sketch sideways :) .......




I used the sweet Cherry Blossoms & Butterflies digi image and the coordinating Spring Blossoms & Butterflies digi DP. After printing the paper and the image I simply colored the blossom with Copic Markers and embellished the rest of my card with some matching Ribbon, Silver Cord, a Button, Silver Pearls and some Glitter.

Now it's time to check out the rest of the team ~

This is such an awesome news Silke!! Congratulations my friend! It's a treat for me to get to see your work more :):)

I have a question. What kind of printer do you use for printing digi stamps? The ink of my printer always smears when I use Copic markers:( Can you give me your 2 cents to use Copic markers with digi stamps?

Hugs, Maki
