Thank You Tree Card


This week has been a whirlwind of card making at Casa de la Damask Love!

I sent some cards into the Paper Crafts Magazine Stamping Royalty contest - but somehow one card was left behind:-(

This sad little loner missed being shipped out and I just don't have the energy to go back to the post office!

So instead - I'll share it here!

I must say, it is a bit fortuitous that this card was left out of the Stamping Royalty batch.

Having reached 100 followers, I am hugely thankful to all those crafty crafters out there who read (and presumably enjoy) my blog - and even leave the occasional comment! The comments on my blog are such a great motivation to keep on crafting and coming up with fun, creative ideas to share!

So---here's a clean & simple thank you card for everyone who's added a little Damask Love to their life!




I did some creative masking to create the "leaves" of this tree - such a simple technique for a wonderfully clean look.

Thanks for your time and your comments!

Now go out and have a Damask Lovely Day!

  3. You can count me as a "follower". I was reading your blog yesterday to get inspiration for scrapbooking... then I got depressed. 'I'll never be able to get anything that looks as good as that!'

    But it was just one of those days. You are very talented and I am very jealous :)
