May DeNami Inspired By

Greetings, blog friends! Welcome to the May edition of DeNami Design's Inspired By feature! Each month we feature one talented DeNami customer's work, and then honor that wonderful artist with a host of DeNami DT projects inspired by it! This month we were inspired by Tina M.


You can read all about Tina's inspiring design right HERE.

I was inspired by five aspects of Tina's creation:
  1. the monochromatic color scheme
  2. the two-tone stamping on the focal image
  3. her use of an embossed background
  4. the layout of her design
  5. the little gemstones she used as an accent at the bottom right 
I tried to pick up all of these in my creation:


I went monochromatic, only with shades of blue {Pearlescent Sky Blue Brilliance ink} rather than black. I achieved her two-tone focal image by stamping off with the larger image in the Peacock Feathers stamp set.  I changed up the embossed background by using the funky Multi Circles embossing folder. I altered her sketch a bit by incorporating the sentiment (Medium Double Circle, Thank You Circle, and a heart from the Hearts stamp set) into the focal image panel. And finally, I riffed on Tina's trio of gemstones by embellishing the center of each circle in my embossed background with a pearl drawn on with a 3D Crystal Lacquer Pearl Pen.

Be sure to head over to the DeNami Design blog today to see how the rest of the team was inspired by Tina's lovely creation!

Thanks so much for visiting today. May your day be filled with bliss!

I love your shades of blue! The feathers are outstanding with the Brilliance ink and the embossed BG is perfect for showing them off. I like your sentiment and the effect of the 3D pearl lacquer pen too!
