Well, here it is - my first card with THE Dawn's Damask Designs. I was just thinking about all the places I've seen damask, and I thought way back to my childhood. My Grandma Irma had Damask wallpaper in her dining room. It was goldish green and soft. Kinda furry. Remember the seventies? It was classy 70s. LOL. So thinking about that - I made this card. I just don't have that perfectly ugly gold green so I used PTI's lovely Avocado instead. I stamped the design with vanilla and added flocking so it's kinda furry just like Grandma's old dining room. Normally these are not my kinda colors unless I'm making a Marine card, but this trip down memory lane was kinda fun.

ReplyDeleteThat's very beautiful! I totally remember 70's flocked wallpaper. Well, we couldn't afford it, but I remember being places that had it! I like your little rosette thing on the ribbon, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Laura! Yes, this sure does resemble the "Grandmotherly" wallpapers from years ago! Great job on this card- and the details are really nice. That button is terrific and I really like the scalloped borders.
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY get what you mean. This is really pretty...that's one of those new buttons, isn't it?? Great card with THE Dawn McVey set!!! :) I like the scallops along the top also...beautifully done friend!
ReplyDeleteLooks good; I saw this site with some useful info on Dining India. Hope it helps...
ReplyDeleteLove this, Laura! Love the flocking! I don't have this set yet, so I'll just have to drool over all the wonderful things you'll make with it!
ReplyDeleteOOOO, I really like it! It's beautiful. Love the color and all the scallops..and of coarse, The Dawn's stamparoos! :) Great card!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Yes, I do remember this style! Your card turned out great!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get this set. When I went to order it, it was sold out already! (wtg, Dawn)
Hugs to you!
Fabulous job! I haven't been able to stamp for awhile, but at least I have THE Dawn's stamp set. As soon as my stamp room is set up, I'll be inking it up!! YIPPEE
