I haven't pulled out Damask in FOREVER so I thought it would be fun to dust it off! A customer needed an "elegant" anniversary card and this is what I came up with....
My crafty blog friend, Dana had a fabulous tutorial on her blog using a rose that I LOVE to make! In the past I have used the regular Marvy flower punches to make this flower but she used the PTI Beautiful Blooms die and I thought it gave the flower a whole new look! She has an amazing tutorial HERE that shows you how to make these fun flowers! Super easy! If you look closely on mine you can see a little pearl in the center!
Well, I hope your weekend was fantastic! My little one starts 1st grade tomorrow so I am sure we will be out playing like crazy today! Gotta get that last trip to the pool in!
Have a great week!
