A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Q is for Quote

The ABC Christmas Challenge this month is "Q is for Quote".  One of my favourite Christmas quote stamps is by Kay Foley and this seemed the perfect opportunity to use it.


I stamped and heat embossed the quote in gold, then trimmed it down and bordered it in gold.  I popped it up on fun foam on top of a background created by using silver embossing paste and a star stencil.

Here's a close-up of the quote so that you can read it clearly:


I'm also taking it over to The Double D Challenges "The Moon and  / or the Stars".

Thanks for dropping by today!





Supplies:
Stamps - Kay Foley
Ink - ColorBox gold
Paper - white cs, gold shimmer cs
Size - 5" square
Accessories - gold embossing powder, silver embossing paste, star stencil, fun foam

    Oh do I love that sentiment. I've seen you use those stamps before and soon realized they were obsolete. Love that you used that awesome quote as your focal. You framed it beautifully too!
