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".

Thank You Wheels

The new Addicted to CAS challenge is "wheels".


I have a great stamp of an old penny-farthing bicycle that I rarely use so it seemed a great opportunity to get it out.


I made a shaving foam background, then stamped in black pigment ink and heat embossed.  I bordered in black and popped it up on fun foam.

My brother-in-law is an avid cyclist and often helps me out with things when he comes to visit so I'll save this for the next time I need a thank you card for him.





Supplies:
Stamps - unmounted, unknown stamps
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black; reinkers: Distress Antique Linen, Salty Ocean, and Vintage Photo
Paper - white and black cs
Size - A2
Accessories - clear embossing powder, shaving foam

    How perfect for him, Susan! I've always loved any card with a bicycle on it. That background is just gorgeous! I must remember to do that again. Thanks for the inspiration!
