DeNami Designs Product Spotlight - Whimsical Oval Frame

Here's a really FUN stamp from DeNami Designs that can be used in so many ways!  Check out what the Design Team members ~ Andrea, Ayana, Laurie, Lisa, Michele, and Wendy ~ have created for your inspiration! 
Also, I am so Happy to be the April Guest Designer for DeNami because I get to play with this FAB stamp!
Just a reminder, DeNami is offering 10% off the Spotlight Stamp!
Here is the card I created for my good friend Gail.  Her favorite color is purple so I used this yummy purple (and lime) paper from DeNami.  I just LOVE the texture on their paper.
I stamped the oval three times in purple and made a focal point in each of them. 
In the top oval I stamped the DeNami rose stamp on white cardstock in purple and clear embossed it to make it shiny and easier to color in the lines!  I used Copic markers V06 and YG95.  Then for something extra special, I covered the rose and the circle oval with Crystal Lacquer.  I used the special Crystal Lacquer applicator tips I watched Nami play with at a Scrapbook convention.  You can really do fine detail work with these tips!  LOVE them!  I stitched the scalloped edges I punched out with my EK Success Double embossed border punch to either side of the lime mat.  I wanted my ovals to really be the focal point.

In the middle oval I put the sentiment.  I'm posting this sideways pic so you can see the true color of these lavender rhinestones.  LOVE them!  The font in this DeNami Happy Birthday punch is a new FAV for me, too!  The third oval sports that pretty purple grosgrain bow.
Here is a close-up of the Crystal Lacquer.  It was really difficult to show how shiny it is in real life so I hope you don't mind that this is a teensy bit out of focus.  Also look at the FAB texture on the lime paper!  I hand cut this white oval out so I could place it directly on top of the DeNami whimsical oval and still have the polka dots show.
Let me know what you think and thanks for stopping by!
