DeNami Blog Hop - Bright, Bold, and Beautiful

Welcome blog hoppers, you've reached the DeNami Blog Hop for the month of August...

You should have arrived from the lovely blog of the talented Dana Seymour.

Here are the details of the 'hop....

When: The blog hop starts on August 12th at 6 AM, PST. However, you have until August 13, 2012, 11:59 pm PST, to leave comments on all the blogs (to be eligible for a prize).Why: To be inspired by fun DeNami Design creations and also the chance to win mini shopping sprees on the DeNami Design website!


Prizes: We are giving away THREE $20 gift certificates to our website! We'll be giving away one gift certificate to a random participant (DT members not eligible) and then we'll also be giving away TWO gift certificates to TWO people who comment along the hop!


Here is my contribution...in honor of the final day of the Olympics today...


I didn't have a plain chickie to put on my Olympic podiums, so I blocked out the butterfly and net on the Chickie and Butterflies stamp, but, if interested, either of these two DeNami stamps would have saved some work -- B90 Chickie or A103 Barnyard Chick.

Here's a link to the "stamping/coloring on glitter" technique that I used to make the rings.

Materials:
Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black and Gray Flannel, Versamark, DeNami - Chickie and Butterflies, Large Dot Swirls, All Star Greetings Stamp Set
Cutting/Embossing: Gold Embossing Powder, Spellbinder's Nestabilities - Standard Circles and Rectangles, Cookie Cutter - Square Die
Misc.: Random markers to color on top of glitter, Copic markers, jewel embellishments, Stickles, Glitter Ritz (Microfine) - Transparent, cool highlights, dimensional adhesive

 
Thank you for stopping by (don't forget to comment for a chance to win a prize)...and you are off to Barb's blog, where something truly fantastic awaits your viewing pleasure!
