Classy Colors

I don't use a lot of yellow, but there are situations where I love it.  The current DeNami color challenge HERE is an example--black, yellow, white & charcoal.  Those of you who know me aren't surprised I chose to make a card in the elegant/classy category--my favorite.  The stamps are both by DeNami.  I made the background by stamping the image in Memento Gray Flannel on white cs & then sponged it with the same ink.  I used a Making Memories distress tool for the edges of both panels.  I love using my Sew Easy mat with the Tim Holtz Design Ruler & a push pin to make evenly spaced holes.  This is my first time to use the variegated floss for a little different effect.  Another first is to sponge the ink on the diecut while the die is in place--been wanting to do that & it was just what I needed here.  I used a gray COPIC to make the dots on the sentiment piece & a yellow COPIC to make my white pearls match the satin ribbon.  The stitched panels & the sentiment are popped up.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend & thanks for coming by my blog.

DeNami Color Challenge

 

Jury duty tomorrow (first ever--didn't think they wanted me--LOL) so decided I better finish up my entry for the DeNami Color Challenge "here" & get it posted before it's too late.  As you know if you saw my previous 2 posts, I'm having a ball making COPIC marker graduated backgrounds (see the video here).  The markers I used are RV19, RV21, YR04.  Cardstock, gems & pearls add the 2 shades of green.  This is my first card with the new Large Butterfly cling stamp.  Isn't it great?!  I first white embossed it on the bg & then white embossed it on vellum.  The vellum image is cut out, wings are slightly curled up & it's mounted over the image on the background.  I think it will be a great Easter card, so that's what I'll put inside.  Hope your weekend is going well and thanks so much for stopping by.
