DeNami Simply Scallops Blog Hop


Welcome to the January DeNami Blog Hop -- Simply Scallops.  Such a fun and diverse theme, I can't wait to see what other participants make.  I'm sandwiched right in between two of my fellow DeNami DT members... so hopefully you've just came from Ayana's Blog and if not, you can start from the beginning at the DeNami Blog. 

Your next stop is to visit Michele at Studio MSG.  Make sure to leave comments on every blog... you have a chance to win a $20 DeNami Gift Certificate.

I made a bunch of cards in December, and this fun scalloped button border was left on my table.  I thought it was a perfect start to my scalloped themed card.  The Whimsical Oval Frame  is a perfect fit around the turtle with presents stamp. Amethyst cardstock was stamped with the medium polka dot stamp using Versamark.  I used the double embossed border punch to create the scalloped border and added DeNami buttons.

Stamps: Whimsical Oval Frame, Medium Polka Dots, Turtle with presents.
Cardstock: Amethyst, White, Lime.
Ink: Versafine Imperial Purple, Versamark, Versafine Black.
Misc: Double Embossed Border Punch, Tombo Markers, Scalloped Oval Punch, DeNami Buttons.
