Denami Blog Hop


Hi and welcome to Denami  mini cards blog hop! Glad you can join us. If you get here from LINDSEY then you are on the right track. As always, if you miss any link or want to start at the beginning, you can find a complete list of the participants at DENAMI blog.

I had so much fun making mini cards for this blog hop. With Denami small size stamp, I find it very easy & fun to make mini cards. In fact, I had so much fun that I made a set of card and 1 extra card. Here's a look at the set one. I love the circle sentiment and it fit perfectly inside the Spellbinders Nestabilities dies.



I colored each turtles with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush (watercolor markers) and the waterbrush pen. Yep, I mentioned these markers quite often lately, because I am loving them at this moment. So easy and quick for coloring and no mess!! I still shake my head that I didn't get the waterbrush pen sooner. 

And the presents were outlined with Wink of Stella markers. Gorgeous fine glitters, it just hard to take pic of it. But in real life, these cards has some pretty glitters to it. The blue and pink background papers are from Echo Park digital.






For my next card, I used the distressing ink watercolor technique.  Love the artsy feeling it created. Partially stamped the edges with antique writing. I have several Denami stamps, but seems like I always come back to the turtles. I simply adore the cute face. :)



Hope you enjoy your visit here and find some inspirations. From here please hop on over to AYANA blog. Her cards always so cute & cheerful and I am sure she has something amazing for today's hop. Thank you so much for stopping by here and have a great Sunday everyone!
