DeNami Adorable Animals Blog Hop


Welcome to the DeNami Adorable Animals Blog Hop.  
You should be arriving from Pattie's Blog. 
If not, you can start at the beginning by visiting the DeNami Blog. 

The absolute hardest part of trying to create a card for the hop was --- choosing what cute animal stamp to use!  I wanted to use a unique one, so I'm hoping 8 other people didn't choose this cute little giraffe. He fit perfectly inside of this elegant square frame.  I think this just may be one of my favorite new stamps -- you will see this again soon!   I wanted to stamp the gingham background onto the kraft paper, but I only had too light or too dark of ink pads.  I'm very happy with how it turned out.  I used Versamark Ink and Clear embossing powder.  I added a 7/8 cream bow and that's it.  4 1/4 square is the finished size.  Cardstocks used: Kraft, Cream and Celery.
Thanks so much for hopping by ----- Your next stop on the hop is to visit Deb. ------- Make sure to leave her a comment, and every other blog too! You have a chance to win a $20 DeNami Gift Certificate.
