It's been too long my crafty friends!

I hope everyone is doing well!!! I've made quite a few cards since I've been away, and I am eagar to share them with you! Here is a favorite of mine. I used it as a thank you card. I love the colors.

I Love that Damask Cartridge! So simple and so elegant! I used regular card stock, cut out Damask34 card function at 7". I flocked it using navy blue flock, and mounted it onto the card. Then, I used lime green, velvet ribbon across the front of the card.

After tracing a 3" piece of chipboard, I hand cut the layers of the flower. I inked the edges of each layer with gold pigment. For the center of the flower, I used a flat 1/2" brad. I wrapped gold foil thread around the brad to create the pattern you see here. Overall, I was rather happy with the outcome and love the colors together . . .

My Pink Stamper Challenge #11: Pink, Green, & Black

Who says you need a Cricut to make a cute card?!? I'd like to apologize in advance. The paper didn't photograph well at all...

This card is so simple that I don't think any crafters out there need a recipe. LOL! Hit me with your questions!

Enjoy,

Ash
