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".

Merry Monday Blue and White

This week's Merry Monday challenge is "Blue and White with Texture".  A perfect challenge for me as I love blue and white.

 

I have a new Memory Box die of negative snowflakes and wanted to give it a try.  I die cut it and then ran the piece though the snowflake embossing folder to get my texture.  I put Sookwang tape behind it and added blue glitter - I was trying to get an ombre effect out of glitter so I used three shades of blue glitter, the darkest at the bottom.  It was hard to pick it up in the photo.

I added a heat embossed and die cut sentiment, and popped the panel up on foam tape.

Supplies:
Stamps: Rubber Soul Noel
Paper: white cs
Paper Size: A2
Ink: Encore Metallic Blue
Accessories: Memory Box snowflake die, 3 shades of blue glitter, clear ep, Crafts Too embossing folder, Nesties circle die, foam tape
