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".

Flowers on Gold

The weeks fly by and it's already time to remind you that you have until May 24th to enter the CAS Watercolour challenge - the theme for May is "Flowers".


I thought I'd go with something more elegant than usual by using some gold.


I stamped and heat embossed in gold on white cs and then watercoloured the flowers with Zigs.  I die cut the panel with a stitched die, and also die cut the sentiment from a scrap of gold cs that matches the gold card base.

Don't forget to link up a card featuring flowers at CAS Watercolour - and check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and our wonderful Guest Designer, Mac Mable of The Sweetest of Peas blog.





Supplies:
Stamps - Rubbernecker
Ink - ColorBox gold
Paper - watercolour paper, dark gold cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Zigs, Tattered Lace sentiment die, fun foam, gold embossing powder
