I am so excited to finally be able to share more of my cards that I have been working on for this month's Papertrey release. The new sets are absolutely fabulous! Today, I'm sharing a card I made with the new Damask Designs stamp set designed by Dawn McVey. This set is so gorgeous and I love it so much!! It will be staying out on my desk as I have lots more color combinations that I still want to try out!
I had to use aqua mist, dark chocolate, and kraft with this set. I love this color combo! I stamped the damask design on my aqua mist cardstock using dark chocolate ink. Then, I wrapped two dark chocolate satin ribbons around my card and added an aqua mist satin ribbon in the center. Then, I cut out a square from kraft cardstock using a square nestability die. While the cardstock was still in the die, I sponged dark chocolate ink all around the edges. I wanted my damask image under my sentiment to be subtle so I inked my stamp up in dark chocolate ink, stamped on scrap paper, and then stamped on my kraft cardstock. (This technique is called secondary stamping.) Then, I stamped my sentiment in true black ink over my image. I love the font that Dawn used with this set. It is so elegant!! I used foam adhesive to add my sentiment block to my card. Last, I added a couple vintage cream buttons to my card.
I had so much fun at the release party last night! It was great to talk to so many of you! Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Bonjour Niki,
Cette carte est magnifique, et ce set de tampons aussi.
La nouvelle collection PTI est incroyable, j'ai passé une commande mais c'était trop dur de choisir. La prochaine fois je le prendrais aussi.
Merci de nous avoir montré ton travail.
