Happy Holidays ~ Stamp TV's Center Stage Inspiration Challenge..

I LOVE this stamp.  I saw the inspiration challenge posted HERE on Gina K's Stamp TV blog and had to figure out how I could use my Grand Damask stamp.  There is NOTHING in the picture that looks like damask BUT I did use a few of the colors AND I added black gingham because red gingham just wasn't going to work!!! LOL!!!  Here is the inspiration picture ~

Here is my card ~

Do you see the resemblance?  LOL!!  The base is Select White  with a mat of True Black then Select White again which was embossed using my SU! Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. The bottom edge was punched using my SU! border punch and I added a small strip of Red Glitter paper so it would tie in with the image.  I stamped the beautiful damask flourish, from Grand Damask, stamping on Select White CS using Versamark ink.  I then added Heat & Stick powder to the image, heated with my heat tool and then added red glitter and heated slightly again.  I cut and embossed the image using my square Nesties and before removing the die, I outlined the image with a black marker.  I matted this piece on Select Black.  The sentiment, from Light of the Season, on Select White CS using Black Memento ink.  I then cut it out using my Spellbinders Fancy Tags and added black velvet, black gingham, a silver charm and silver cord.

This was really a simple card!  Hope you like it!
