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".

Friends

The current Addicted to CAS challenge is:


I'm in the mood to make Christmas cards so pulled out one of my favourite Christmas images for this card:


Don't these two horses look like the best of friends?  I ride and volunteer with therapeutic riding so I've definitely noticed how some horses have a real bond with each other.  And they are herd animals so definitely have to have other horses around for company.

It's a nice quick card - stamped in black with just the Santa hats coloured and a bit of glitter added to the snow on the fence and the hat brims and pompom.  It's cut with an oval and mounted on an embossed background for texture.

Thanks for dropping by!





Supplies:
Stamps - Impression Obsession Santa Horses
Ink - Ranger Archival Jet Black
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - red marker, Spellbinders oval, CB snow embossing folder,

    This is such a beautiful card, Susan! I've had my eye on that stamp for quite a while and love how you left it black and white with just a touch of red in the hats. Love the framing of this too.

    Susan, your image is gorgeous and I love how you left it with limited color. Wonderful CAS card. and I agree, horses really do need to be with other horses and I have seen them nuzzle just like this. So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
