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".

Sprayed Journey

I'm having fun doing some of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.  This one is also perfect for CAS Mix Up's August challenge of "sprays". 


My choices are watercolouring with Zigs, stenciling, and fussy cutting.  Here's my card:

 

I used a turquoise spray through a stencil and when dry, stamped the Journey Script in grey.  The focal image is also stamped, coloured with Zigs, fussy cut, and popped up on fun foam. 

It will go to a friend who is going to Italy for two months in the autumn (I'm so envious!!!).





Supplies:
Stamps - Stampendous vineyard, StampIt Australia Journey script
Ink - Ranger Archival Black, Memento London Fog
Paper - ivory cs, mixed media cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box stencil, blue spray, Zig markers
