De Nami Challenge

Over at the DE NAMI BLOG they are having a Monochromatic Challenge.  I guess I never thought about it before, but making a card with basically shades of just ONE color is not the easiest thing to do!
Also, I really do not have many DeNami stamps, so that made it even more challenging.  Here is what I
came up with.

I used some dies from Papertrey along with a couple EK Success punches to help me put this card together.  The flower is stamped and embossed and is a De Nami image.  I threaded my buttons with tulle fabric.  The leaves are punched from vellum, and the sentiment is computer generated and printed on vellum.

 Hello, and welcome to this stop on the De Nami Simply Scallops Blog Hop.

You should have arrived here from the very talented Sue Lelli's Blog.  Sue happens to be a very dear stamping buddy of mine and in addition to being a wonderful stamper, she is also a super person who uses her stamping talents to benefit the community through various projects. 

If you happened here by chance, and would like to start the blog hop from the beginning, you can go to The De Nami Blog.

For my card, I used some  bird images that I purchased years ago.

I have used these birds many times over the years on several different types of cards, as they are pretty generic.  For this card, I stamped and embossed them in silver on blue textured cardstock and layered them on silver cardstock which was cut out with a scalloped die.  I added more scallops with a border punch.

I cut two strips with the border punch and overlapped them. The silver around the outside edges of the card was done with a silver marker.

Your next stop on our blog hop is Tenia Nelson's Blog.  Enjoy!
