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".

Merry Monday Gifts

This week's Merry Monday challenge is "Gifts".


I pulled out my stamp of a sweet parade of pups wearing their Santa hats and carrying gifts.


I stamped, coloured with coloured pencils, bordered with red, and a bit of Wink of Stella on the ruff and pompoms of the hats (sorry, the sparkle and shimmer it gives doesn't show in the photo).

The dog in the lead is coloured in black and grey like my old dog Will, and then the goofy young one bringing up the rear is coloured like my young pup Tessa.  It kind of suits them -   Will, the wise steady old fellow, leading all the others, and crazy playful Tessa getting distracted by something and then having to gallop along to catch up!

Here's a recent photo of the two of them:


Thanks for stopping by today!





Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black dogs
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - red and white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - SU sentiment tags, coloured pencils, Wink of Stella

    Adorable card Susan. I laughed about Will and Tessa in the pack. This sort of reminds me of the last crafting day! :) Great shot of Will and Tessa together. xx
