Welcome to the DeNami Design August Blog Hop!
The stop before me was the blog of the talented Amy.
My sister works hard. She's good at her job. People respect her and she respects them. I made these little ditties for her to give to the employees at work, just to let them know she cares! Mini cards are perfect for card sets, and for the informal "I'm thinking of you" kind of reason to send a card. The set contains four cards total-the two not pictured feature a slightly lighter colored monkey and then a little red bird!
A special thanks to Lisa for thinking of me and making these cards possible. I am so excited to finally have in my reach some lovely DeNami sentiments to go along with the images. For my Polaroid inspired cards, I stamped each image, the monkey and the little bird, onto kraft paper and colored with Copics. Then I drew a black line, either to hang from or perch upon, with a marker, inked the edges in black and adhered them to a stamped card base. I love the fact that I don't really often have to use a stamp positioner with DeNami stamps, as the rubber directly lines up with the image imprinted onto the wood block.
Thank you so much for visiting me and my mini cards today! Your next stop is one of the masterminds behind DeNami, super sweet Paulina Nakamura!
