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".

We Three Stars

The current Jingle Belles challenge is "We Three Kings" - nothing to do with the Three Kings but rather a card with three of one element.  I chose stars.


I sprayed a piece of black cs with a couple of different gold sprays - one that came out in a mist and one that made bigger blobs.

I die cut three stitched stars out of gold shimmer cs.  Then I stamped the vertical sentiment in Delicata Golden Glitz.  I am really pleased with how all the golds match so well.

Thanks, Jingle Belles, for a fun challenge!





Supplies:
Stamps - Impression Obsession sentiment
Ink - Delicata Golden Glitz
Paper - black and white cs, gold shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - different gold sprays, Ali Express stitched star dies

    I love the effect of the gold spray on black. It reminds me of a night sky. The gold is often hard to match but how great that this worked out that well. Love the look of the Delicata ink for the vertical sentiment too.
