Damask and Brocade

My first "encounter" with damask was Purple Onion Designs' Vintage Damask Background stamp. It's always been a favorite, and I decided to pull it out and ink it up for Moxie Fab World's Damask and Brocade Challenge.

I used Spellbinders Labels 18 and sponged some shadow ink before removing the paper from the die. After stamping the sentiment, I added some faux stitching and pearls.

I made the roses with some cream colored rayon seam binding and layered on peach and green bows for a bit of contrast.

I'm also entering this card in Ribbon Carousel's Challenge 54 to make or use some flowers on your card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Whatever you have planned, I hope you're having a great weekend!

All you need is LOVE

Hello there! I decided to take the plunge and enter Ribbon Carousel's latest challenge to incorporate paper piecing on your card.

The sponsor for the challenge is Birdie Brown. I happened to have a collection of her cute digis, and a TON of patterned paper so the decision to enter was an easy one.

Here's my card using two of Torico's adorable images found in her Etsy store. Truth be told, I originally colored both images with Copics, but I wasn't completely happy with the way the umbrella turned out. Paper piecing it made me happy, and fit the requirement for the challenge!

I added a bit of twine and drew in some faux stitching lines. Although you can't see it, there's a bit of Glossy Accents on the raindrop and the little smiley face, too.

I hope you're all having a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by!
