DeNami Design Monochromatic Blog Hop!

Sunday, April 10, 2011


Good morning! If you came from Lori's blog for the DeNami Blog Hop, you are on the right track! If you just came across my post, and you want to start from the beginning, check out the DeNami Blog for the complete list of hop participants!


Ever since the new Polka Dot Elephant stamp came out, I have LOVED seeing it used on so many cards! It is just one of the cutest things ever, dontcha think?! Kind of ironic though...cuz IMO, elephants really aren't cute, are they?!?!?!? LOL Anyway, I wanted to pair it up with more polka dots, so I used one of the hearts from the Hearts Petit Fours stamp set, and the Polka Dot Background. To add some more interest, I stamped the Mini Heart over some of the polka dots...creates a totally new background look!! The front of the card is embossed, and the finishing touch is a large bow! I love this monochromatic baby card! I hope you enjoy it as well, and gave you some new ideas to inspire you the next time you get out those stamps!! THANKS FOR VISITING ME!!! :)

    Adorable! At first I thought the background of the card was made from a piece of cloth. I love it!

    I love that little elephant, too! I have the one that is 'empty' with no polka dots inside. He is a cutie too. You picked a great shade of bluish green for the Hop!

    This card is gorgeous, but what I'm most impressed with is how you got your ribbon to behave like that! Usually grosgrain is stiff and 'difficult' to work with, but your's looks phenomenal!
