DeNami Sketch Challenge #14 by Dana

Sketch Challenge #14 by Dana

I just couldn't put the yum yum sentiment where it should have been according to the sketch.  I didn't want to cover up the ice cream cone!  This seemed to work okay, so hopefully it's close enough.

I used the Ice Cream Stamp and stamped it a few times to make it a SUPER tall tower of ice cream.  Colored in with markers to coordinate with the pink and brown theme.  

Hope you get a chance to try out this fun sketch!!

DeNami Sketch Challenge #13 by Kanani.

I used the new Ornamental Centerpiece Set to create some manly type patterned paper.  I stayed away from  glitter and ribbon in hopes that this card would work for a guy.  I added twine and some CASH!  Happy Birthday saying is also a cling stamp.

Hope you get to play along... you have the chance to win a DeNami Gift Certificate!

Everyone has a birthday... so I'm always needing birthday cards.  I love this older Birthday Cake image, it works perfectly with the newer birthday stamps.  I'm having fun using all of the fabulous Twine colors... quick way to add a little pizazz!

DeNami Sketch Challenge #11.  I just had to flip it - otherwise it's exact.

Man, I wish I could take better photos...someday I will figure it out! This card is so much prettier in real life.  I embossed the sentiment and  cherry blossom stamp with copper embossing powder. It seemed to coordinate so well with this gorgeous coral ribbon. It's fun to add color with ribbon, this is fairly neutral otherwise.  We are headed to the east coast for Spring Break. I can't wait to see the cherry blossoms blooming!  Hoping this sketch inspires you to grab a DeNami stamp and share your creation with us!  The Design Team girls would love to see you participate with us! PLUS you have a chance to win a gift certificate to DeNami.

DeNami Sketch Challenge #10

Amber has created a unique sketch for you to try out!  Head on over to the DeNami Blog to see all of the DT cards for some great inspiration.  

I flipped the sketch on the side.  I wanted to use the new coral ribbon that DeNami is carrying now, so that is where I started.  I stamped my patterned background using 2 stamps and added a bit of color with my copics.  Stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment and I was done. Easy and thoughtful, just the way I like to make cards!  Please join us in this fun Sketch Challenge.  You have until Nov. 28th to enter --- and a chance to win a $20 DeNami Gift Certificate.

DeNami Sketch Challenge

It feels like it's been WAY too long since I've done a sketch challenge... how about you?  Use the sketch, plus one DeNami stamp, upload... and you have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to DeNami!

You can check out this one on the DeNami Blog, sketch made by Nami.  When you are there you can see other cards using the same sketch by the DT.

I've always loved this gorgeous cross stamp, it is so pretty!  I wanted it to stand out, so I tried to keep the rest of my card elements to a minimum.  Just some basic layering and pretty patterned paper. 

I stamped the cross with Versamark and heat embossed with gold DeNami Embossing Powder.  Added a bit of green to the leafy portion and then used the quickie glue pen with some extra fine glitter to give it a little glitz.

Stamp: Cross, Cardstock: Cream, Amethyst, Irr. Gold, Tangerine.

DeNami Sketch Challenge #8

3 of us Design Team girls used the same sentiment this month.... hello friend. So I changed mine to a Thank-You just to give you a different saying to look at.  Great minds think alike!!  I love these pretty little shells, so I went with soft sea colors... sand, water, shells, I love the beach!

DeNami Sketch Challenge #7 - Michele

I love sketch challenges, even more so when they are on the DeNami Blog.  This is the sketch that Michele came up with, I just flipped it up side down, it's just what my brain thought to do with it!  I used the polka dot background stamp with versamark to make polka dot paper, and the Happy Bird-day Chicks.  Added 3 rows of ribbon, and a bow tied with some Twinery twine and a button.   Hope you get a chance to play along!

DeNami Sketch Challenge #6 - Laurie

Laurie has created a fun sketch for you to use at the DeNami Blog.  I found it really challenging for some reason, and ended up flipping it on the side.  Check out the other design team's creations to see it unflipped.
I used the new Sweetheart Mimi as my focal image and somehow came up with this lime/pink/red color combo.  NOT what I would normally do. I Love lime, but not normally with pink and red.  Hopefully you think I pulled it off, I'm still wondering!


$20 Gift Certificate goes to the sketch challenge winner --- so put this on your to do list for sure!!
