If you were here earlier this week, you know that I'm {in love} with my new Damask Designs set from PaperTrey Ink! Last night was the first time my new love rescued me...yes, a damsel in distress was I! Here's the short story: I'd been working on my SFYTT card on and off for a couple of hours, mixing and matching designer papers, paper piecing this-that-and the other thing; in general, spinning my wheels! I was ready to give up and go to bed when I realized that it was Friday night and I should be (duh) spending some quality time with my new love--DD! So, I quickly pulled out Damask Designs and Guidelines 2, got down to business and came up with this card in less than half hour! How's that for a quickie?!
I was temped to add ribbon, flat-back pearls, etc but decided to let the beauty of the stamps shine through all on their own. So, I think this is the first card in quite some time with one itty bitty embellishment--the proverbial black mini brad! I did add a bit of texture to the Very Vanilla base layer with my Texturz argyle/diamond plate.
Check out the SFYTT sisters and our fearless leader, Jen, who will be unveiling her April Guest Designer!!
