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 Santa

Merry Monday is calling for cards with Santa Claus on them this week.

I made this card:


I stamped it in brown ink, coloured it with coloured pencils (with very sharp points to get into all the tiny details!), and added a vertical sentiment.

I layered it on a piece of dp - yay, I used up a tiny piece of my very neglected stash of dp!

Thanks for stopping by!






Supplies:
Stamps - SU Father Christmas, Rosie's Roadshow sentiment
Ink - Ranger Archival Potting Soil
Paper - PTI Vintage Cream cs, Paper Pizazz dp
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils, fun foam
