DeNami Addict Challenge #5 & Retro Sketches #28

DeNami Addict Challenge #5.  This challenge is open until October 13th!!

Retro Sketches #28. 

I combined the Retro Sketch Challenge with the DeNami Addict Colors.  I love that so much of the decision making was done for me.  It made this one quick card!
I embossed the Mimi Image with white embossing powder onto charcoal cardstock.  Layered onto white, black and magenta cardstock. Finished off with a pretty 5/8 hot pink ribbon.    I had this fun zebra patterned paper left over from my daughters 8th birthday party invites. 

DeNami Theme Challenge: Anything Goes!

DeNami Theme Challenge: Anything Goes Challenge! 

Anyone that own's a DeNami stamp can participate in this challenge! 

 You have the chance to win a $20 DeNami Gift Certificate.

I love all of the older Mimi Images, and feel like I've neglected them for too long.  So I decided to ink up Mimi's Bubble Bath. Mostly because I absolutely love making sparkly bubbles, and partially since I wasn't in the mood to color some of the more intricate Mimi stamps.  I used crystal lacquer covered in extra fine glitter to make raised up glittery bubbles. I used a few markers to add some color, layered cardstock, done! 

DeNami Product Challenge: Patterned Paper

DeNami Product Challenge #08 --- Patterned Paper. 

You have until May 26th to join in on the fun -- you could win a $20 DeNami Gift Certificate!!  You just have to incorporate 1 DeNami stamp into your project, and use some patterned paper ---Easy!

I love this pretty Daisy Vines Paper from DeNami, I paired it with the Pink Paisley paper.  I paper pieced Mimi's Umbrella and rain boots with the pink paisley paper also.  I tried to keep it super simple, so the patterned paper wouldn't be covered up. Just added a simple blue bow at the bottom.

DeNami carries lots of patterned paper -- you can find it under the Bella Press section on the website. 

Sweetheart Mimi

The DeNami Design Team is featuring the Sweetheart Mimi stamp on the DeNami Blog.  I have used her for Valentines Day lately, but I wanted to show you how versatile she is.  This card could easily be used as a Thinking of you, Birthday, Mothers Day, etc.   I used the new Celery Cardstock along with the Purple Ribbon and Amethyst Cardstock.  Such a fun combination, and it worked perfectly with the hearts and leaves I colored.  Make sure you check out the DeNami Blog for more inspiration!
Supplies:
Stamps: Polka Dot Background, Sweetheart Mimi
Cardstock: Cream, Celery, Lavender, Amethyst, Charcoal
Ink: Versafine Black, Versamark
Misc: 5/8 Purple Grosgrain Ribbon, Purple Rhinestones, Embossing Folder, Tombow Markers, Quickie Glue Pen, Extra fine glitter.

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!!
