DeNami Design Birthday Bonanza Blog Hop

Hey Crafty Friends-

I am thrilled to be a part of the Birthday Bonanza Blog Hop for DeNami Design. I have been a huge fan for many years and I always love to participate in their hops whenever I can. Let me show you what I created...



I started with a 4.5" square, clear card. In order to photograph the card it was set on top of a neutral cardstock. Below is another photo sitting on my workspace so you can see the difference with the white desk and craft mat behind it.

 
 

The first layer down is a 4" paper doily that I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, then weaved pink and white twine through the center holes and finished with a double bow. Next, I used the Denami Design Upright Happy Birthday stamp to stamp the sentiment in black on a strip of pink polk a dot paper measuring approximately 5.75" x 1.25". The edges were inked in brown and the tail cut in a "v". Two pink felt butterflies were then popped up on foam dots for a little dimension. Last but not least, a little bling. A clear gem was added to the bow and pink and clear stones of different sizes were added to the corners. This clear card really turned out cute. In person it really has a bit of a fantasy feel too it.

Now on to the good stuff........PRIZES
