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".

Rainbow Christmas

A quick card for the Jingle Belles challenge "Here Comes Santa Claus" and the Christmas Card Throwdown challenge:


I chose a stamp that lends itself to being coloured with several different colours and includes Santa Claus.


I stamped in black and then coloured the houses and moon with Copic markers.  I layered it to create a thin black border and popped it up with fun foam on a red card base.

Another one for my stash!





Supplies:
Stamps - Crafty Individuals
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - white and black cs, red card base
Size - A2
Accessories - Copic markers, fun foam
