I had been hankering to make a card with the flourish from Friends 24-7 ever since I saw Dawn McVey's new Damask Designs set from PTI. You can see some of the creations she made here. Her style is very bright & colorful, which isn't the norm for me, but I could see lots of possibilities with her set! (I would love to have it, but I will stick to my SU one for now!) I started by scoring some lines at the bottom of my Confetti White cardstock, then used my Stamp-a-ma-Jig (better than the last time) and began stamping my flourishes in Sahara Sand. I added a "formal" bow in SU's wide Regal Rose ribbon. I finalized it by adding "thinking of you" from Trendy Trees. It was nice, but a little bland.
I was thinking it needed a chipboard swirl, when I remembered my new little diecut, Swirsl Scribbles! I cut one from Pretty in Pink cardstock, coated it in glue and added some MS glitter. A glittery little surprise swirl peeking out from a "formal" design!
- Stamps: Trendy Trees, Friends 24-7
- Paper: Confetti White, Pretty in Pink
- Ink: Sahara Sand
- Acc: Scorer, SAMJ, Glue Pen, MS glitter, Swirls Scribbles DieCut, Regal Rose Wide Grosgrain ribbon

LeAnne!! It's gorjus (Southern for gorgeous, LOL!). I saw that set and resisted--until now. Thanks a lot ;-)
Fantastic! I love that little swirl on the card. It adds just the right element of fun and bling.
What a great card you have here. It is a real great take on Dawn's cards and you kept it SUO. Great work.
Very elegant and pretty colors!
You may want the PTI Damask set, but you don't need it! You have created a beautiful card with the 24-7 set. It has been on the back-burner of my wish list, but every time I see it used, it gets closer to being a #1 need! Beautiful card.
