Moxie Fab World Challenge: Diggin' on Damask

Who's ready for another quintessential Moxie Fab World challenge? Oh you are, are you? Well today's your lucky day then, 'cause I've got one that's, well, simply moxie fab.

Beautiful and stately, elegant and divine, classic and opulent, damask is a timeless pattern that can be incorporated into any style. Whether you prefer classy and elegant, shabby chic, vintage, clean and graphic, or even fun and cute--your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to incorporate damask into a paper crafted project in an innovative way. Here's some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing. Check it:
