These had me scratching my head at first, but in the end, I didn't have to look far to find what I needed for my project: I used Imperial Purple Versafine ink (from the DeNami store) for "Dusk" and DeNami Lime cardstock for "Seedling." A little poking around in an old BasicGrey patterned paper pad gave me my stand-in for "Magenta," and I was good to go for this project:
I stamped a background pattern with the elegant DeNami Decorative Flourish in Versamark ink and heat-embossed the design with clear embossing powder. I am SO in love with this beautiful stamp! I'm also rather partial to the DeNami Decorative Crest Circle--the center stripe is the perfect size for adding a stamped message. Mine is the "congrats" from the Thoughtful Greetings set, which I was very happy to add to my collection just recently.
It's back to school for us this week after spring break last week, and we are going full tilt. Last night we attended the all-town chorus concert in which our seventh-grade daughter performed along with her middle school chorus (each of our town's three elementary schools' choruses and the high school chorus also performed). Each chorus sang two selections and then the combined masses sang two selections. They were amazing!! It was quite a treat to hear 250+ voices singing out together, beautiful and strong. Wow! We were so proud of our daughter, throwing herself into her singing completely. You could tell she loved being a part of it all and that she was having fun. That's what it's all about! And our third-grade son was really impressed and is now super motivated. He cannot wait until next year when he'll be allowed to join his elementary school's chorus. :D
Anyway, I hope you'll play along with this week's PDCC challenge--if so, you'll be in the running for a $30 gift certificate to the DeNami Design store!! Just think of all the great goodies you could score with that :D!! Good luck!
Thanks for visiting!

Love it! Super bright & cheerful - and don't you love how saving those bits of paper comes in handy? lol
I can't imagine hearing that many sing at once - it must have been absolutely amazing! Congratulations to your daughter for being a part of something she so thoroughly enjoys :)
Your card is so pretty! I love the green background with the purple! You have such a good eye.
Sounds like a great concert! It's so great to watch your children in a concert after listening to them practice for so many years!

Perfect card for the color challenge, that is a pretty flourish stamp too! That would be something to hear that many kids singing!! Sounds like your kids(and you) had a ball!!

Emily, this card is so great...I don't even know where to start!
I love that you brought out some of the "elegant" stamps for this challenge. The Decorative Crest Circle was the perfect choice! Also, I'm so happy you finally have the Thoughtful Greetings set. :)

Pretty flourish background and I love the sentiment piece with the scalloped circle behind it!
Cool CAS and sooooooo pretty, Emily! Love the colors.
I love to hear a large choir sing like that..reminds me of our community choir...close to 200.
Yes, I am the enabler! Go for the zig zag punch...makes great chevrons. :-)
BEAUTIFUL card, Emily!!! The handstamped pattern in the background is so elegant and pairs up so nicely with your focal point!!! LOVE IT!!! Sounds like the concert was FANTASTIC!!!! I would have loved to have heard them!!!
