DeNami Monochromatic Blog Hop

Hello there!
 https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-K_X2bhZKBUE/TX-M0_Dv79I/AAAAAAAAEFo/ccu8V3ojf-g/s1600/denami-april-bloghop-sm.gif
It’s that time again….it’s time for the April DeNami Blog Hop! If you started from the beginning, you should be coming from Andrea’s blog. If you get lost along the way, or didn’t get to start from the beginning, head on over to the DeNami blog. :)
For those new to my blog, or DeNami, I have the privilege of coordinating the blog hops and challenges. Each month, I try my best to chose new, creative themes, but also ones that many people can join along with. This month I decided on a monochromatic theme. 
I must say, it seemed like a good idea at first. However, when it came along to creating my card, I struggled….BIG TIME. Yes, that’s right, even the person who decides the theme sometimes doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing. LOL  After playing around quite a bit, I finally came to a card that I liked.
Here’s my card: 
 
Usually, when I’m creating freely (with my choice of stamps), I go through all my drawers and see what stamps catches my eye. Yes, this sounds silly, but it’s honestly what I do. This time around, it was the Wavy Stem Trio, Thanks (from the Everyday Greetings stamp set) and the Small Solid Button.
I’m sure you’re dying to get back to the hop. (Sorry for the longer post this time around) The next stop on the hop is Lisa Petrella’s blog!  Lisa always has great things to share- can’t wait to see what she created this time around!
In closing, I just want to mention that I have a giveaway for some yummy DeNami buttons. Once you finish the blog hop, I’d love for you to come back and enter. YOU, too, can create fun cards with some yummy buttons! 
Happy hopping!

  15. Paulina, thank you for letting me participate again! I love your choice of brown for the floral card, even though IRL brown flowers don’t sound so appealing! LOL Here, it works just PERFECTLY. :)

  16. Love your card. I really like how you used your buttons. I tend to forget about using buttons. I sure like the end result though.

  20. Paulina, that’s often how I decide what stamps to use. I have them shelves and all my DeNami stamps are together. I stare at them until I have an idea. You managed to get your favorite polka dots in with the great theme challenge. Wonderful card. Thanks for organizing the hop.
