DeNami Design Blog Hop
Easter is almost here, so I made a couple cards for friends. The Easter greeting will be inside. For the first one I used one of my old & favorite DeNami stamps--the 3 tulips. I colored the blooms with a Crystal Lacquer Pearl Pen & the leaves with markers & then used my Wink of Stella pen. The sentiment is also by DeNami & is black embossed. The stitched dies are by Lil' Inkers.
Card number 2 also uses an old DeNami stamp--the solid egg. I inked it with Brilliance Coral (it's actually pink--no idea why it has that name!) & then stamped it with the Solid Leaf Sprig inked with VersaMagic Aloe Vera. I had to use an applicator to add more of the green ink to the leaves before using my Wink of Stella pen. The design would have been better using an egg die, but I had to make do with an oval & I still like it. Memento Gray Flannel was used for the sentiment & was sponged on the dry embossed piece. The beautiful pink & green twine was used by Lisa on the blog candy I won & worked perfectly here.
The Verve challenge color combo inspired me & I'm entering SSS Wednesday.

Oh, these are stellar, Greta! Your designs for both of these cards are just so pretty. Those DeNami tulips and the solid egg are awesome focal points for each card. You've made perfect creations for the buttons and bows theme!!
ReplyDeleteGreta these are both beautiful but your egg card stole my heart. I LOVE that you stamped the sprig over the solid egg. It's stunning.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to admit I've not made even one Easter card! Gahhh....hopefully, I can get a couple done before we head to visit my family, but if not, chocolate eggs will have to do! Your cards here are both stunning; guaranteed to bring smiles for sure! Hugs to you, sweet friend! ~ c
ReplyDeleteOh! You are so right that those tulips are an old favorite. I love seeing them all glittered up happily. The egg in the cutout is a neat idea too.
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorably SWEET, Greta!
