Moxie Fab World - Diggin' On Damask


I don't know about you but I just cannot get enough of DAMASK! Anyone familiar with my blog knows that I use damask A LOT! So here is my card for the Moxie Fab Challenge - Diggin' On Damask! I wanted the damask to be the focal point so I used only two colors, a beautiful leaf green (ZING leaf embossing powder) and cream. The paper is all PTI. I also used a PTI impression plate on the cream background to give it a hint of damask texture. The flowers were made with the Sizzix flower 3-D die and dipped in Versamark and then Zing embossing powder. The leaves are from PTI's Friends 'til the End stamp set and also embossed with ZING. The label and sentiment is from PTI's Fillable Frames #4 set. The lace is by the yard at Hobby Lobby. (Also a FAV that I use A LOT!)

This card is for a friend of mine who has just had the worst luck lately and then collapsed with chest pains. She thought she was having a heart attack, but it turned out it was a virus brought about by extreme stress. I wanted to make her a card letting her know I truly was praying that she would just get a break and that her stress would be lessened! I pray it helps!

This time a combination of 2 things you do beautifully - flowers and embossing a damask. Along with flourishes they would be my favourite "shape"
