DeNami Design Color Challenge #9

Howdy, friends! It's time for a brand new challenge at DeNami Design!!! YAY!!! This time around it's a color challenge!!! Check out this FRESH and FUN color combo from Emily!

Sooooo pretty, right?!?!

Here's my creation:

My layout was inspired by this photo from the March 2012 issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine:

I wanted to try to create the same kaleidoscope effect on my card. I first used a pencil to draw a grid and then I stamped out my pattern using images from DeNami Design's Ornamental Flowers Stamp Set and my handy dandy Stamp-A-Ma-Jig tool. I erased the pencil lines and then colored in the images with Copic Sketch Markers.  

What do you think??? I hope you like my card and feel inspired to play along in our challenge!!! I'd LOVE to see your creations!!!

Hi there!!! Today is my Dad's BIRTHDAY (and mine too---yep, I was born on my Dad's birthday---pretty nifty, huh?!?!)! Here's the card I created for his special day!!!

Since I live in CO and my folks live in PA, we communicate via e-mail quite a bit, so I thought the new Computer Chickie from DeNami Design would be a SUPER FUN image to use on my Dad's card! The "graph paper" background was created using DeNami's new Basic Borders Stamp Set! And I made my own sentiment using Smitty's ABCs (Lawn Fawn)!

Just a reminder, too, that all of the stamps and products from DeNami Design's NEW RELEASE are NOW AVAILABLE in their on-line store!! Click HERE to check it all out!!!!

Happy Birthday, Dad! Hope you have a FANTASTIC day!!! LOVE YOU!

DeNami Design's Sketch Challenge 11

Hello, blog friends! It's time for a brand new challenge at DeNami Design!!! This time around we have a FABULOUS sketch from the ULTRA TALENTED Paulina!!!

Here's my take:

I ADORE this little soccer chickie!!! He's part of the All Star Chickies Stamp Set, which also contains a football player chickie, a baseball player chickie and a long-legged basketball player chickie!!! SOOOO SUPER CUTE!!! And it pairs PERFECTLY with the Sports Balls Stamp Set, which I used to created the soccer ball background panel! FUN!
