DeNami Design Pretty Pastels Blog Hop


Welcome to the DeNami Design Pretty Pastels Blog Hop!

When I read "pastels," I thought "baby" - and what a perfect coincidence that DeNami included an adorable Mommy Chickie in their new releases!

Here is my card:


I created a tone-on-tone background stamping alternating DeNami stamps with coordinating Close to My Heart ink and cardstock.  Of course, I have a hard time finishing a card without using a bit of ribbon and sparkles!

Ingredients:
Stamps: DeNami Design Sprinkles set, A Little Birdie Told Me, Whimsical Oval Frame, and Mommy Chickie
Cardstock: Bazzill White and Close to My Heart Baby Pink
Ink:  Memento in Tuxedo Black; Close to My Heart in Baby Pink; and Copic Markers in Light Pink, Apricot, Pale Blue, Yellow Green, and Cadmium Yellow
Ribbon: DeNami Design Pink Grosgrain 3/8" 

Before I let you go, I want to fill you in on the details of today's event:
