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".

Christmas Dogs

I love Christmas card challenges as they help me get my cards done on time.  The current challenge at 52 Christmas Card Countdown is:


Here's the card I did for it:


It's a very simple card - stamped and watercolour, with a bit of Flower Soft on the brim and pompom of the hat.  It's for a friend who has a miniature schnauzer.

Here's another I did recently for SCS but never blogged:


Stamped and watercoloured image, with glitter on the snowflake dots and snow lines, and then some snowflakes punched out of glitter cs for extra interest. I added Flower Soft to his hat as well, and bordered it in red to match the hat.

Thanks for stopping by!






Supplies:
Stamps - Stampendous Santa Pup and Rubber Soul sentiment (card 1);   Crafters Companion "Barkley" (card 2)
Ink -  Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - dark green, white and red cs, watercolour paper, aqua glitter cs
Accessories - various small snowflake punches, Nesties label dies, Quickie glue pen and glitter, white Flower Soft, watercolour paints
